happy blankie

What a day of sweets...we started off breakfast with cupcakes at the store, my friend Bobbie dropped by and surprised me with cupcakes later, and a customer just came in to share treats from her cake tasting. Feb 9th might beat Valentine's Day for me :)

Speaking of sweet things, I am in love with the new line of blankies we are carrying, Happy Blankie. Have you heard of it before? Watch the video and learn a bit more about David and his mom...so inspiring. For every blanket purchased, they donate one to a child in need.

We were featured in the kids guide of Where Magazine this month with the heart Happy Blankie, one of their latest designs. They just arrived, so come get one for your special little one!

This week we went to NYIGF to check what was new and exciting in the gift world...phew, all that walking was a full work-out! It was great to see what our usual favorite lines were working on, as well as finding new artists doing fun work. Big kudos to Justine from Snow & Graham for having donuts at her booth! Just what we needed mid-day :)
With that said, there will be many new goodies coming into the stores the next upcoming months, so stay tuned!
Here is a sneak peek at our finds:

bubblelicious!

skipping rope, playing hopscotch, pretend tea parties and lemonade stands; add wearing nellystella clothes to the list of your little girls' summertime favorites.

designer and parsons graduate nelly chen blends her fanciful creativity with exquisite attention to detail to create a well crafted line of girls clothes inspired by european tradition and mixed with playful charm. nelly has created the clothes she always dreamed of wearing when she was a little girl. Bright colors, fun patterns, delicate details and hints of girly glamor make these stylish clothes so fun for little girls to wear.

we love the charming rainbow and candy striped bubble suits, the classic khaki trench coat made fun with lovely rainbow-striped lining that closes with a sash belt tied in a flirty over-sized bow, and of course the pretty floral print cotton dresses with flutter sleeves.

and don’t miss our favorite, the natalie dress perfect for any special occasion including a wedding or a photo shoot. layers of softly colored pink tulle make up the wispy bottom of this gorgeous silk dress. a large gardenia flower adorns the bow sash that ties in a pretty bow in the back. your little girl will look and feel like a magical princess.

these clothes are as refreshing and welcoming as a summer breeze.
