THIS IS J......HEADBANDS FOR WOMEN.




I may never be seen wearing my hair without one of these again! They are so lovely and come in so many different designs that it is impossible to not wake up in the morning and want to wear one again and again and again. Shown here are just a few of my favorites. Stretchy cotton and handprinted in Toronto you can't go wrong......I think any mom can relate when you are rushing from one thing to the next with your little ones your hair is often the last priority of the day. These headbands are the perfect solution to our somewhat hectic lives and we can still feel pretty, fashionable and somewhat put together!
Come visit in store and you will also see the gorgeous umbrellas that are also available.
xo Sarah.
(Be on the lookout for their bamboo pyjamas to arrive in early November)

Dainty and Dirty!

Most moms with a toddler probably agree - dirt just becomes part of life! I'm learning that the most important thing for Addie is to explore the world and build her confidence. Which means clean comes in at a distant second!



But that doesn't mean boring clothes! So far for me Sophie Catalou fall is wearing really well. I learned first hand today after she insisted on crawling through an entire antique store on her own, and i think this little plum velvet jacket makes a pair of summer pants transition reall well into fall. It's a nice alternative to a sweater and washes really well.



So far, i'm a fan! Next - we'll stress test the knit dress!!!

Fall Accessories and Inspirations!


Something happens for me at the end of August...the leaves start to blow around, the evenings cool off, and I start hoarding saturated colors, soft fibres, and look forward to new hats, scarves, bags, and shoes. Cozy, safe, and comforting.
And now that i have a baby i can start snuggling her in them too! Although 14 months isn't really a baby anymore, is it?
So the only question is - what's your color? This week I love the saturated plum and olive. The boho grey and teal. And the crisp celery and raspberry. Each one of these hand knit creations is crocheted in multiple colors with a contrast band by a wonderful woman from Japan. Really, you can't go wrong (and they keep little wet rain sprinkles away from our little ones previous little heads!) :)
Take your pick!

WONDERBOY


Wonderboy for boys ages 6 months to 6 years has arrived for Fall. This blue mosque pearl snap is Kobys favorite. It also comes in the same style in a burnt orange and charcoal gray. Or for a more classic choice there is a solid heather grey button down that is very handsome. Pair it with a leather wonderboy belt, Joes Jeans and a pair of Ugg Boots and you will have the best dressed little man for his first day of school!

COZY SUGAR BOOTS

Sugar Boots have arrived. Lined with Faux Fur they are oh so cozy for Fall. They come in sizes 7 to 12 which tend to fit a 2 to 7 year old girl. They are flying out the door quickly as the weather right now feels more like fall than summer so hurry down today.
New Fall items are arriving daily!

Take me home in Westcoast Baby





I have to tell you about this wonderful customer that came in this spring. She is eagerly awaiting the arrival of twin boys (grand children!) in the fall and wanted to pick up some special treats for her daugher. In my opinion every expecting mom needs a mom like this.


She picked up two matching tiny (special small newborn size) blue west coast baby kimono nighties, with matching blue hats and chocolate brown super stretchy cocoon blankets so they could come home from the hospital in comfort and style. I am so excited for these babies. What a wonderful and caring and excited family to be getting ready for them!!!


She also tracked down a tub of creme for mom to help with her growing belly (and keep her skin soft and feeling great) and some extra little treats for the new members of the family. So of course i have to dig out my old picture of Addie at 9 days old in her pink outfit to reminisce!


Cheers to all the wonderful grandmas out there!


And of course the lucky (and hard working) new moms.


Kim


PS We are currently a little low on West Coast Baby (there has been a rush!) but we will have more in store very soon! Call before hand if you're looking for a special size or color.
