Visit to Bebe Chic

Friday, January 27th, 2012

I got a chance to visit one of my vendors that make so much of our beautiful custom  children’s bedding at Cici Crib. Located directly across the Hudson River from Manhattan, Bebe Chic is just one of my favorites. Each piece is made locally and with such care and quality. I am always excited to open up the box to see how our vision was translated.

Our current look is made by Bebe Chic..

Her very efficient and organized workroom…

Some inspiring classic fabrics …

Creating very classic bed skirts…

New looks being put together..

Some customers prefer quilts to duvets. An example of their quilting…

I picked a fabric for my new Spring bed…

Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

See you…

Vintage Planters

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

I have always collected vintage planters from the 1940-1960′s. Way back when, they were given as baby gifts and I assume they had plants in them.   I used them to decorate my kids’ nursery.  I use them for their toothbrushes. I use them to store pencils. I have one in my bathroom.

Here is the elephant in my bathroom…

At the shop we have a planter on the counter that we use to hold pens. I used it when the kids were babies  to store A & D ointment and thermometers. It has such sentimental value. I won’t sell it…

The planter that holds the business cards sold recently. A new holder is in place…

We have put together some great little gift planters using some of  the vintage planters. They come with a minky soft rattle and a handmade baby comb from Switzerland. They will be going on our ecommerce website that will soon be up and running.  Hurrah!

See you…

A Teeny Tiny World

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

There is a little shop in Brooklyn called Twig Terrariums.  Each terrarium is made by two very talented women, Michelle Iciarrano and Katy Maslow.  They are teeny tiny worlds inside glass jars…

Their terrariums remind me of the work of Slinkachu. His blog, Little People Project, is one of my favorites!  I do like his darker side. He has a great sense of humor..

See you…
