I am a lover of childhood.  My heart aches to make sure that my children have the best childhood, full of memories.  When finding new items for the kids to enjoy and play with, I am always on the hunt for items that open the imagination.  I love items that spark their individual creativity and give them a thirst to explore and figure things out on their own.  I know some of my very own most fond memories of my childhood were times when I played "pretend" or was in a moment full of imagination.  That is why I was so drawn to Fanny & Alexander when I first came across this inspiring brand!

Fanny & Alexander, are committed to enriching the lives of children with toys that are beautiful, simple and enduring.  F&A’s toys encourage fantasy, imagination, creativity, and ingenuity.  They also foster manual skills at the stage of life -infancy- when that is most critical.  Their items range from wood-carved toys, hand-knitted items and handcrafted collectibles.  Whether it’s through a hand-knitted wool jumper with intricate trims, a wooden toy camera, or a charming pair of leather ballet flats, it’s about capturing that unique feeling of childhood from another time, today.

When we received some of our very own items from F&A's endearing collection, we were swept away into fantasy land.  No, but seriously, I can't exclaim enough about the perfection of every single detail on every single item.  We've had our items for a few months now and they have become some of our most beloved items and most played with toys.

Delfina, the founder of Fanny & Alexander say's it perfectly, 

"Our products are keepsakes... they're objects people get sentimental about."

If you are interested in carrying Fanny & Alexander items in your shop, you can contact Defina directly here.  Or if you are looking to purchase some of their beautiful products, you can find their stockist list here, which is includes one of our favorite shops; Four Monkeys.  I know you will love these amazing keepsakes as much as I do.

I hope everyone has an awesome Friday and weekend!

I don't really remember how I came across The Littles, my only regret is not coming across them sooner!  Kirsten has created a collection of the sweetest hairclips that ever hit mankind.  My favorite is the color combo's you get with each clip and I am in love with the fun different materials Kirsten chose like leather, pompoms and tulle.  These clips are not only amazing to look at, but they are also so well made and stay put, even in the finest of hair, like Everly's!  This is huge for me, because I can't even tell you how many hairclips we have lost since Everly had enough hair (or not enough hair) to clip.  And we have yet to lose any of these! 

These hairclips are made with lots of love and after the short amount of time of getting to know Kirsten, I would have to say they are the exact replica of her personality - fun, pretty, bright and cheery!

Here's Everly in her day-to-day via iphone photos where she is rocking her hairclips!  And you can see a recent post here to see some photos of her wearing one of our favorite clips!

You will be seeing lots more from The Littles around here, because we are hooked and they go with everything!  They have become an everyday essential around here.  Also, be on the lookout for a GIVEAWAY with The Littles in the very near future!  ;) ;)
