wee wednesday with jennifer: jess brown dolls

Hello friends!  Will you indulge me today and let me do a whole post on Jess Brown dolls?  Ok, great! You’re the best.  I have admired the work that goes into these dolls for many years.  Each doll is made of cotton muslin or linen and dyed in Persian black tea.  Jess Brown dolls come in the sweetest little dresses (liberty of London), cashmere shawls, or soft tulle.  You can also purchase a quaint little wooden bed with spool legs from a silk mill and handmade linen quilt.    I just happen to have a little girl who doesn’t really play with dolls (so sad), but maybe I could get one for myself:)  

This little video is so cute!

Xoxo,

wee wednesday with lindsay of darling clementine: childhood

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is madly in love with Pinterest, am I right? Besides it being how Traci and I "met" it's also a GIGANTIC source of inspiration for my shop Darling Clementine, it's a place to see what people are loving, from kids clothing trends to what's exciting in playtoys. I often refer back to Pinterest to be inspired. (and to kill time, shop and fine dinner recipes!) Here are a few shots from my 'Childhood' board that capture that perfect innocent carefree happiness that IS childhood. Take a peek at all of my boards here.

1. Nothing sweeter than little ones and gooey peanut butter and jam sandwiches

 

2. This girl

3. Boys on Second Ave by Louis Stettner

4. Little music lover 

5. 2 sweet Madelines! click to buy Madeline, a classic story that should be in every home library.

6. Cowboy in the city

7. Little artist

8. Sweet giggles 

9. Sweet little girl blowing milk bubbles

And please leave a link to your boards in the comment section, I'd love to see what inspires you! Xx Lindsay

wee wednesday with jennifer: minty

I’m sure if you’ve walked around any stores lately or looked in the spring magazines, you’ve noticed all the mint colors!  I am having a brief obsession with the color mint.  It’s fun, cheerful and fresh.  Here are some pictures to help you think beyond mint for the girls.  These little boys are rockin it!

wee wednesday with lindsay of darling clementine: bobo choses's petit grocery

My philosophy when choosing brands for my shop Darling Clementine or when buying clothes for my daughter is simple. Do the clothes inspire happiness? Are they soft and can they be played in? Spanish children's brand (and cult favorite) Bobo Choses encompasses all of those things. I simply adore the whimsy of their designs and the soft fabrics they use. Each year I hunt out the latest collection and scour the sales at the end of the season. This is the first season Darling Clementine is stocking them and I couldn't be more excited. This season's theme is Petit Grocery and the clothing is adorned with tomato's, pears, lemons and even herrings. Here are some of my favorites from this season.

 All available at Darling Clementine, but hurry, they are selling out fast!

wee wednesday with jennifer: hearts

I can’t believe it’s almost February!  I am one of those people who really love Valentine’s Day, especially after having kids.  We love making homemade Valentine’s crafts.   I think I need to make my little girl the felt heart hair ribbon!   And I finally have a few denim peasant dresses with heart pockets in my shop just in time for February 14.  I hope you have a chance to pop in and take a look.
