Summer baby clothes
Now that the warm weather is here it's time to put baby in cool cotton, but don't forget how chilly the evenings can be. That's why we offer a range of wraps and short sleeve cardigans, ideal to pop over t-shirts and dresses.

New patterns
I have had some gorgeous new cardigans made in cashmere and alpaca for baby boys and girls. I have found a vintage pattern and given it a modern twist, and these fabulous clothes will be going into the new website, so keep watching for updates !
New website
Well I have finally gotten around to some ideas for a new website.
It will be designed and built by Cogensis, and hopefully go live in June.
I'll post some photos as and when the site is working, but for now this is the photo for the home page.
