Darling Buds of May

With Spring in the air, inspiration for my crowns have a distinctive Apple Blossom feel... line embroidery and silk flowers adorn fresh white cotton or coloured grounds with co-ordinating interior fabrics. Every little girl can now become a darling bud of May, with three slogans: birthday girl, princess, or flower girl (or fée des fleurs for those who like the french touch)! Made-to order in white, mauve, pale pink or pale green.

New creations...kid's crowns!

Ready for next weekend's sale, I'm busy sewing kid's crowns for the birthday season in bright co-ordinating fabrics. They will be on sale alongside my kid's magic wands (watch this space)! Here's a sneaky look...

Then and Now

Yesterday marked the sixth birthday of Elliott....where have those six years gone? So much has happened to that little boy since then. He has already lived a lifetime, and I'm sure he could write a book about it all. So much for someone so little. He has been a brave little man, a fiesty fighter and shown us really how to bounce back after a trial, even if he manages it perhaps more sucessfully than us at times! Happy Birthday sweetheart!

Soft-skinned darling, little monster lovely, your infectious laughter and fits of giggles will always outweigh moments of doubt, when we wonder what to do as parents, how best to teach you and how best to make life good for you. Your affection consumes us and draws the rest of the world to you, you cheeky little pickle, facing life full on at every moment - thankyou for teaching us how to live too...

Birthday bash!

Happy 4th birthday to ma petite poupée chinoise.....a happy (but very tiring) weekend was had by all - fun in the garden on the new trampoline, with little friends in the sandpit, fancy dress and loads and loads of birthday cake! Ooma Millie was the star of the show dressed up as a clown and big brother Elliott showed us all what he was made of in his home-made Hulk costume. Far too much champagne drunk by mummy, but never mind, it kept me sane during the whole weekend!

Happy birthday my little one!

A special post as it was his birthday today, this was me and my dad way back in the flaring 70's...still think about him everyday and wish he could have known my little ones...

Happy Birthday Miss Phillips!

For Ivy, who celebrates her birthday today...we remember when you came to visit us for the first time...have a lovely day my dear!
