ETSY Shop I'm Loving: Colette Bream

Gone are the days when I had disposable time to spend hours cyber-window shopping in Etsy.com boutiques. But I did recently stumble upon Colette Breams' gorgeous creations - namely, her organic cotton toddler bedding collection.

I love love love things for children that are not overly juvenile in their design. This set is perfect for a stylish little girl, but I'd like it for my own bedding too!

Colette in her creative space....wow.

Looks like my kind of heaven.

Do you know what I love? POLKA DOTS!!!!

You guys, you don't even understand how much fabric I have in gigantic bins at KP world headquarters.....nevertheless, I continue to add to the supply because now and then I come across adorable Japanese linen cottons that I SIMPLY CANNOT RESIST. The Koos need them!! It is entirely justifiable.

These two are also available at Hip Baby, however methinks I will list them in my Etsy shop too :)

Thanks for checking in, more tomorrow.....

Orange and Pink

Much to my delight, several Koo & Poppet critters have been featured in Etsy treasuries lately!

For those unfamiliar with Etsy, a treasury is a hand-picked collection of items on the site, selected by any Etsy user. It's basically just a way for a complete stranger to say "hey. i like your stuff. i put it in a group of my favourite things."

suffice it to say, it is a humble honour.

Spy Avril and Piquette in these colourful, if not clashing, treasuries:

Marvelous Mousepads

I stumbled upon these dressed-up mouse pads today....just some gorgeous fabric is all it takes to turn the mundane into a thing of beauty!

There's more beauty to behold at SHIM + SONS' shop.

Pleased to make your acquaintance...

Meet Liam, Lou Lou, Milly, Avril and Daria.

Daria, Milly and Avril are already available in the shop, and the others will be joining them shortly.

What a week it's been. I've been sick with the flu and being sick with the flu is quite an inconvenience when you have an eleven-month-old. Luckily I received a lot of help from my husband and my parents! Also, we're moving in a week so attempting to pack up the bits and pieces of our lives is also proving to be a little chaotic. And somehow, these little rabbits keep multiplying....

I would be so delighted if you would take a moment to tell me which of the above creatures is your favourite! 

Have a great weekend everyone.

Sale today in the Shop!

Hi everyone! Today is my 28th birthday so for one day only I am offering free shipping on any purchase from my Etsy Shop. 

My other plans for the day include breakfast in bed, a facial and pedicure at the spa, much sewing, and supper with my family. We were originally supposed to be spending the weekend in Tofino, but there was a flu outbreak up there so our trip was canceled. Turns out, I caught one anyway, but thank goodness I'm feeling better in time for some birthday cake!

Milly Among Bunnies

Little Mill has been chosen for a Treasury this week as well! Thank you to funkisockmunki for featuring her in this exclusive cute bunny club.

Fredrick in a Foxy Treasury

Little Fred has been featured in another treasury on Etsy!

The items in this one were collected by Roxana.

Cat on a Wire by echarrow

What's not to love about this mischevious cat on a wire? I love his scraggly claws the best (click to enlarge). And I love the tail feathers. And the off-kilter eyes. And the unlikely traitor. See more in echarrow's Etsy shop.
