SEWING AND KNITTING
A simple knitted beanie!
One of my many New Years resolutions (which I started over the Christmas period) is to continue making things - just because it makes me happy. ; ) I love watching movies in the evenings, but I also like keeping busy so I have started to try to find simple projects that I can do while ...

Olivier Baby and Kids, at the ShopUp this week!
Olivier Baby and Kids is one of my favourite places to find cosy cashmere products for the kids. Last winter Marlow lived in her little bonnet and all the kids had one of their snoods, each a different colour to keep things easy when bundling up before leaving the house. This year they've added hand-knitted pom-pom hats (with ...

Booboos' Bonnets
I received the sweetest email last month from Sophie McCurley, a mother of three and a maker of bonnets. She wrote to introduce me to her beautiful collection of handmade bonnets and I'm so glad she did. Aren't they beautiful? I love the simple, classic styles and the gorgeous fabrics. I ended up ordering one for ...

Colourful cashmere accessories from Olivier Baby and Kids
I recently got the kids cashmere snoods and I honestly don't know what took me so long to catch on to this convenient fashion trend. Snoods are so much easier than scarves. Hands down. (I can totally understand now why scarves were banned from Emilie's girls' school! They're a pain to keep wrapped around the neck, and often ...

Toto Knits, with a darling new Capsule Collection
Slowly but steadily autumn is upon us here in Amsterdam. We've been super lucky with the weather so far (I've heard it's been the same in other parts of the world), but leaves are falling and mushrooms are appearing. So it's time to get ready for the cold season! I've been ordering socks and tights, shoes ...

Gorgeous hat/scarf/mittens sets from Mini McGhee
It's nowhere near as cold as last year, but still cold enough for warm woollens -- here in the Netherlands we tend to take the kids around on the back of our bicycles (or in the bakfiets), so kids have to be bundled up in the winter. These SUPER soft Pixie hats from Mini McGhee ...

Customise your own Summer Hats
We have a bit of a hat obsession in our house -- an obsession which I encourage during these hot, sunny summer months. As the Australians say: Slip, Slop and Slap -- slip on a shirt, slop on some suntan lotion and slap on a hat (do correct me if I have got that one ...

Mittens that stay up -- no strings attached!
Now here is a concept I wish I would have created... mittens that stay put, really.  They're mittens with long, stretchy cuffs that reach the elbow, making sure that no matter how much your child wriggles, runs, or plays, those mittens won't budge, and they won't fill with snow either. With sizes ranging from baby ...
