Spring shopping: adorable items I'm coveting for the little guy.

I'm always on the lookout for some cute clothes or fun room decor for buddy.  I browse a LOT, as my 'baby baby baby ooh' pinterest board can attest.  I wanted to share some really cute items I've found - many great for both little boys or girls.

Aren't these items cute? I've looked at some of them so many times, I really think it's time to buy. Take a look at my baby baby baby ooh pinterest board to see some other great finds. And I love recos - so share your pinterest info or favorite items here!

Could it be an over-the-pond Etsy? Yep, another great shopping website!

Ok, I'm in love. with a new website. just over the pond.

Fantastic. Or bloody brilliant as our friends across that pond would say. It's a cross between Etsy type stuff and oh, any other site you're loving.

Actually, as I'm browsing the site looking for international shipping charges, I just found out that the reason it seems so similar to Etsy type stuff, is that it is in fact a site that features products from over 2,000 British small businesses.

But unlike Etsy (and do forgive me Etsy, because I love you), it's organized much like an online shop. So, much easier to browse and find items.

Ok - so back to shipping. It's a little bit high for me (I tend to pretty much only go for free shipping), but it isn't as much as I'd think for shipping internationally.

Here are some items that caught my eye right away during a quick peek around:

I'll add the links later -- so tired. Must go to bed. Quickly approaching 1am.  And I've just eaten eight Joe-Joe Cookies from Trader Joe's. 

Cheerio.

Pink duvet cover.

Wow, it's been a whole week since I last wrote. not sure why - busy week at work, busy with the little guy and spending time online searching for all things pink.... mainly on etsy and pinterest.

why?

well, after many years of the same white with white stripe duvet cover, i bought a new one. actually, i bought it about five months ago, and finally last week, took it out and put it on the bed.  the pic online that inspired me to purchase appears to be almost satiny and a ballet slipper pink.  see the pic below.

love it. however. it turns out that in real life, it is definitely more of a pink pink. you know, like this:

not. what i expected. but i must say, i still love it.  it's ruffly and feminine.  but. it doesn't really match with the paint or the room.  so. i need to pink it up and get some pink accents for the room.

my thought is to get some pink prints or cards, frame them and put on the dresser, so it ties it all in a bit more.  been browsing and found some cute items, but just keep looking. it's becoming maybe a waste of time -- what did i do for hours? looked for pink things.  ok. next post - i'll share some of the options i'm considering.
