We’re already very taken with the divine felt slippers by Sew Heart Felt and have a lot of love for their fox rug, but now we are all swooning over Herby Hedgehog. This rug is made by shaping organic Tibetan wool with soap, water and hand pressure. It’s chemical free and all their pigments are […]

Camp Bestival 2013
[slideshow_deploy id=’60687′] So, 2013 marked the fourth trip to Camp Bestival for Harry, Alfie and myself and the second for Kitty, who was just five weeks old at last year’s event. We had a new addition this year, too – a fabulous Pukka Tents bell tent, a birthday present from my wonderful friends and family, which […]
EQD felt motifs
Kitty was lucky enough to receive the woodland set of EQD felt motifs from a friend for her birthday and they really are the loveliest things. Themed felt shapes come in a cute cotton bag with a felt applique on the front. You can choose from a huge selection of designs, from bugs and […]
White Rabbit England Herbert the Hedgehog lamp
Sticking with the animal theme, I’ve long coveted White Rabbit England‘s china owl lamp and now I have a new addition to my wish list. Herbert the Hedgehog is handmade in the Stafforshire potteries and couldn’t look any more cute if he tried. Not cheap at £78, but definitely an heirloom piece (as long as […]
Make Your Own: Wallpaper Houses
I love craft ideas like this – stunning, simple and economical. I spotted these wallpaper houses and instantly bookmarked, thinking I need to raid my parents’ wallpaper stash! You could use the idea for lots of themes – animals, vehicles, trees – anything that works well in silhouette. Fabulous for the nursery and playroom but […]
Hot on the High Street: Tesco’s Dinosaur Party
I’m a little impressed at the Tesco’s partyware at the moment ,especially their dinosaur range. Top items are the dinosaur shaped party hats with googly eyes (8 pack for £6.99), the Dinosaur Piñatas, (£12.95 each) and the giant stegosaurus centrepiece with sound (£18.99). They also have all sorts of party bag fillers, and Natural History Museum wrap, so if you […]
Cakespiration: Circus birthday cake
Saria ‘the bambino’ recently turned six and up until the morning of her party I was all set to decorate her carrot cake with bunting but then I spotted Cloud Cuckoo Design’s circus cake over on Pinterest and it was a change of plan – bunting and circus! All that’s needed is a couple of […]
London in a bag wooden play set
I have just been checking out The Museum of London shop and this wooden London play set. It features some of London’s most famous landmarks such as Big Ben, the London Eye, Big Ben, Tower Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral as well as London buses and Buckingham Palace guards. It’s FSC certified wood, so from […]
Frogs & Sprogs Woodland Blanket
This Frogs & Sprogs blanket would make such a wonderful new baby gift. In fact I’m wondering if I can sneak it into the house for Kitty’s room as it’s taken on a bit of a woodland theme. The palette is fab (check out that orange) and it’s ideal as a playmat. £29.99, Not on […]
Make Your Own: Prize Board
The fabulous duo Carla and Bekka of Sisters Guild strike again with a cool, simple DIY project from their Monday Makery series. This prize board made from cork board, pegs and glitter is a great piece of decor for a party, especially if you have a bit of a circus theme going on. Check out […]
Stay Gold Media animal prints
[slideshow_deploy id=’58755′] Kitty’s room seems to be leaning towards a woodland theme (good excuse to buy more owls) so I’ve been trawling the web for foresty art. This week, I came across Stay Gold Media‘s print which features more woodland animals than you can shake a stick at – bear, wolf, squirrel, lizard, snake, deer, […]
New at Ferm Living: horse mobile and XL cushion
Gee up! Loving the new horse cushion and mobile from Ferm Living. To be fair though, I do love most of what Ferm Living have to offer including their pegs and peg bags – brilliant for hanging little ones art. I digress. The horse heads are lovely. 100% cotton with a nice simple silhouette and detailing – they feature a […]
Inspiration: Alfie’s space party
5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Blast off! Anyone who knows me knows I love a good party, and that extends to celebrations for little ones, too. This year, we went to infinity and beyond for Alfie’s 4th birthday with an out of this world space theme (that’s the end of the puns, promise). Having decided […]
Jennie Maizels Clothes Plasters: New ‘Disco’ & ‘Deep Blue Sea’ sets
We’re huge fans of illustrator Jennie Maizels whose embroidered iron-on Clothes Plasters not only fix the inevitable tears in your child’s clothes but they also add a bit of individual detailing, tear or not. There’s several themed sets and the latest additions are ‘Disco’ and ‘Deep Blue Sea’ which are £7.99 each including postage and […]
Amy Borrell Starlight print
Alfie’s new room is loosely space themed as his current penchant is for all things out of this world. So I’ve earmarked this fantastic Starlight print, $30 (plus $10 shipping), by Australian illustrator Amy Borrell, aka Cakes With Giants (amazing name), as a new addition to his art collection. I love the rosy-cheeked child and […]
The BG guide to… baby bed linen
If you’re spending a small fortune on a statement cot don’t let it down with bobble flannelette sheets and pastel cellular blankets. Â These days, children’s bed linen is fun and fabulous. This week, baby sheets and blankets; next week, duvet sets and quilts. When Kitty was in her BedNest I often used an Aden + […]
Hot on the high street: H&M dinosaur cushion
Inspired by last week’s Deinonychus print and our trip to the Natural History Museum on Friday, I thought I’d post this charming prehistoric chap I spotted online. Love the monochrome (although it does also come ina  rather fetching red colourway) – it could sit happily with any scheme or as part of a dinosaur-themed room. […]
Love Frankie Mr Fox lampshade
Despite the recent unpleasantness in the news, we still love a fox motif here at BG and this lampshade by Love Frankie ticks a lot of boxes with its mustard and grey palette and the long-nosed, pointy eared vulpine. From £45 for a 35cm diameter – available in lamp or ceiling format. Perfect for that woodland-themed […]
Big Forest artist bears
Loving the work of Brighton-based The Big Forest. Their signature creation is the artist bear, a handmade felt animal that comes beautifully packaged in its own box. They aren’t certified as toys as they have small parts, but how fabulous would this lion look perched on a shelf in a jungle-themed nursery? And at £35, […]
A Most Curious Christmas Kids’ Fair
 There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned Christmas fair to put you in a festive mood. A Most Curious Christmas Kids’ Fair is nothing like a good old-fashioned Christmas fair, but it’s certainly going to offer stylish seasonal shopping options for your little ones. Following on from the success of the Most Curious Baby Fair, […]
Finger Monster Tattoos
The BG kids are finger puppet crazy (highly recommend Ikea especially if you need to fill the pockets of an advent calendar or party bags) and I’m loving this twist – finger monster themed tattoos in packs of twenty from the same peeps behind the animal hand tattoos which we featured ages ago. £3.50 Bloomsbury […]
