Hi Everyone,

I’m so excited to tell you about a favorite line that I’m now carrying. Mimi’lou is a French designer brand created in 2005. Behind the brand is talented artist Miriam Derville who started turning her illustrations into wall decals. With the success of the wall art, the collection quickly expanded into home textiles and accessories. I first saw this chic and beautiful line at Bonton, the exquisite Parisian children’s shop and I’m now one of a few shop owners in the United States carrying it. I love the colors and detail of every single item. They are charming and have a sweet vintage feel to them, yet they are decidedly contemporary at the same time. I can picture these sweet images in a sweet French inspired nursery or a cool mid-century modern kids room bursting with colors. Inspired by the fanciful and quirky world of children, each design has a story to tell…. Take a peek in the BABY section of the online store. Merchandise is limited.

Have a great week!

Jennifer

One of my favorite new things, these paper placemats from Cakepapers are great for teaching kids how to set the table, or use them instead of doilies to make your cheese platters look even more yummy.

So many Moms have discovered my line from Right Bank Babies, a lot of the items are gone. Get them now before Spring comes!

How adorable is this insulated lunch tote? Also available in other styles.

And last, how can you resist these One Hundred wishes tickets? What a sweet little gift for the kids or your true love.

Right Bank Babies….

Like most Mommies, I’m always looking for beautiful, adorable things for my little one to wear. When I started shopping for a few lines to carry, I did a lot of research. How could a company with the name Right Bank Babies, not catch my eye! Created by Los Angeles mommy Ellen Uzarowicz, Ellen started by making dresses for her own daughters. After constantly being stopped on the street and asked where she bought them, she launched her company which is run by a group of women in the LA area and of course, the Right Bank is a reference to Paris, where she met her husband while receiving her MBA. I’m in love with the colors and the unique patterns. Please note your size request on the order page in the “notes” section. I’m still trying to figure out my online store’s computer program!

Aren’t they just lovely?
