Queen Christine for Your Little Princess

Does your little girl like bold colors, flowing fabrics, and fun? Then she will love the spring collection from Queen Christine. Pant sets in a rainbow of bright colors mixed with feminine prints in funky styles are the hallmark of this line. Our favorite this spring is the lime capri set, which is amazing in person!

Giddy Up!

You can find well made, stylish cowboy and cowgirl clothing and accessories -- from fun cozy pajamas to swim trunks to authentically styled cowboy shirts and everything in between for your cowboy baby! Planning a western themed birthday party or baby shower? Take a look at some sweet cowboy and cowgirl invites and cowboy goody bags. Yee haw!

Tra La La

Just that very phrase reminds one of simpler, more carefree days of childhood, but it's also the name of super sweet line of little girls' clothing. From kimono style layette sets to baby bubbles to pants sets, Tra La La's beauty lies in its attentions to details and gorgeous prints in top quality cotton.

~Bargain Alert~

Five Day Sale on designer children's clothing by Sara Sara, Hannah Banana, Charlie Rocket, Sprouties, Zutano, and Lipstik through January 21, 2005. Save 25-60% off on clothing for infants through size 8. Sizes and quantities limited, so shop early for best selection.

Clothing as Art

Handpainted children's clothing by Indygo Artwear is a beautiful sight to behold. Funky, flowing styles are handpainted by artists to create beautiful garments, each with their own unique personality. Sizes range from infant to teen, and there truly is something for everyone in this robust line, from dolly sets to Lolita dresses.

Tiny Bubbles

Call them rompers, bubbles, or onezies, but they are the sweetest, most practical spring and summer clothing for baby girls! Of course our favorites are made with wonderful, whimsical prints in comfortable cotton and adorned with unique trims and accents like tiers of ruffles and three dimensional flowers. You'll see more and more of these as the season progresses, but check out lines like Baby Baubles and Tra La La for their current selection.

Brazilian Beach Babies

Brazilians love their beaches and designer swimwear, even for the smallest of tykes. Submarine makes beautiful swimwear for kids from boy cut one piece swimsuits to itsy bitsy bikinis, pastels to bold colors. Add three dimensional accents and unique trims and you have very special swimwear for babies, toddlers, and little girls.

Pretty Little Things

The best part of shopping for baby gifts is being able to indulge in purchasing pretty little things that the new parents might not purchase for themselves, from sweet layette pieces to cashmere baby sweaters. Three piece layette sets for baby boys or baby girls now come in lovely prints and are not only pleasing to the eye, but practical as well. In the last couple of years kimono style layette sets by Tea Collection, Mad Sky, Tra La La, and Baby Nay have also become popular, in no small part due to the fact that there is no tugging the top over baby's head. Comfort is the key in layette items -- look for 100% cotton or other soft fabrics that won't clash with baby's delicate skin.

Picture This...

Now that you've gotten back all the holiday photos where to put them? We love the beautiful linen covered photo albums by Terra Traditions. Each album holds 200 photos on acid free, archive friendly pages, with a space to write a short memo beside each photo. With several styles to choose from you'll be organized in no time! These photo albums also make great baby shower gifts, birthday gifts, or gifts that just say "I love you!".
