She is simply stunning........

Nothing is more beautiful to me than the sight of my very special friend Devon. This girl is one of my oldest friends. Living in different cities we rarely see one another but it is one of those special friendships that we can absolutely pick up where we last left off. I went for a visit this past weekend as dear Devon is on bedrest and has been for the past 5 weeks. She is now close to 33 weeks and is very patiently keeping herself busied on her couch until her baby boy Lyric decides that he is ready to arrive. Not able to make it to Chick Pea I brought a bag of items and we had a shopping trip in the living room!
Let me tell you she is absolutely glowing. Just gorgeous and radiating happiness. These two are going to be the most wonderful of parents. Their love for each other is impossible to ignore, just look at the way Dustin is looking at Dev in the photo! I couldn't be more proud of the couple that they are and am looking so forward to sharing in their journey of parenthood.

Mothers Day Gift Ideas...........

We have many wonderful options when wanting to pick up a special treat for mom this mothers day........
Glowology Sugar Mama Honey Scrub and matching Sugar Mama Honey Bar are absolutely scrumptious in the shower. You will smell like you just left the Spa!
Our new line of bodycare by the Matter Company out of Toronto is all natural and they make a lovely mineral soak to take all the aches and pains away.
My favorite are the all natural cleaning products by Caldrea in Lavender Pine. (This will be what my mom will be receiving!) The soap and lotion set for the kitchen or bathroom is a lovely choice.
And finally one of our best sellers.............Hanky Panky Thong Panties in an assortment of blues, yellows, pinks, greens, and the classic black and white.
Best wishes to all mamas, be sure to put your feet up this Sunday and celebrate lifes most precious gift.........motherhood.

OiOiOiOiOiOiOiOi

We are extremely excited to announce Chick Pea now has OiOi diaper Bags in stock!!!!!!
The classic black and white carry all has short clutch style straps if you want to sport it like a purse and when desired nice long straps to hang over the back of your stroller or to wear like a messenger.
The giraffe print(with burnt orange lining) looks very sexy slung over a shoulder or again the straps are versatile enough to use on the back of a stroller or messenger style. Both come with matching change pads, plastic pouches and insulated bottle bags to keep milk cool for the little ones.
Stay tuned as we are on a countdown for our Mimi and Coco to arrive from Italy. Pointelle cottons in whites and aquas include leggings, baby doll style dresses, and fitted hoodies......for girls sizes 6 months to 6 years.

Dagmar Daley has arrived.......

Simple, sweet, beautifully handcrafted.............all words that come to mind when looking at the gorgeous items from Dagmar Daley. The company is located in San Francisco where all of their items are produced by a small team of talented seamstresses.
Unisex in color and style we have 100% cotton handknitted cardigans, fitted henley t-shirts with shell buttons, baby josephine sweaters starting at newborn sizes and a piece just for the most angelic of baby girls is the pearl pink baby dress in a soft sateen finish.
We have many items for summertime in stock now but with our confused weather lately a cozy knitted cardigan, fitted henley, denim jeans on the bottom and a cozy pair of uggs your toddling little ones will be prepared for snow, rain and hopefully some sunshine too!

eggs for inspiration..........

I am sitting at my desk snuggling Koby as I type. (I think a major growth spurt is happening as he is unusually tired..........) and I am staring at this glass jar filled with beautiful robins egg soaps. The store windows are displayed with them hanging in nests and jars on the desk are filled to the brims. I am ready to change things up for I can feel summer coming............I am thinking hanging parasols in white rice paper but other than that I am stuck! I am thinking butterflies, dragonflys, bumblebees, flower petals................not quite sure what or how but I need some help. Any suggestions send me a note and if I choose to do one of your creative genius ideas you will receive a $25.00 gift certificate to spend in Chick Pea! Send your comments my way...............

(P.S. Kobys idea was a Transformer Optimus Prime window with Spiderman and Batman coming to save the day...........how very sweet but not quite a fit!)

Whatever floats your Petit Bateau

So we think that line is pretty cute! And so is the latest collection from Petit Bateau! Sweet florals with lace edging and pink little floral bursts for the girls (onesies with skirts are irresistible for the hot summer months ahead!), these great gift boxes for new moms with baby basics (in pink and blue of course!), and these:

This took me at least a week to realize (although Sarah being quite smart figured it out pretty quickly!) but the size you choose - like this one in the photo for 6 months - is the number on the front! There's also a 3 and a 12 and an 18.... really puts me to shame :)

Adorable on every baby! And I can vouch for the durability and fit of these great French basics. They wash beautifully and are made of the softest cottons and look great the entire time your babies wear them. Unlike the 'pack model' for onesies I have never found a snap pulls off or a seam skews (and i'm picky about these things!).

Happy wearing!

Kobys 5th birthday

I am happy to say that Kobys birthday was an absolute great day. Holding the party at the restaurant Timbre was perfect.(check out www.timbrerestaurant.com as it is a great place to go relax, listen to live music, and eat delicious food and they are kid friendly too.....you have to try their nutella banana french toast, it is my favorite)
The kids entertained themselves by being the silly little monkeys that they are;they ate, opened presents and had a whole lot of transformer cake.
Here is Koby sipping his apple juice at the end of the party visiting with his uncle Ryan and yes, those are batman pyjamas that he is wearing. He insisted on wearing them over his clothes and he looked so darn cute how could I say no!

Birdy sundresses&matching maryjanes

Soft pinks and yellows in organic cotton with birdy prints and shoes to match!
For a classic look try the pink dress with matching pink shoes and for the little one that dares to be different the butter yellow dress with gold maryjanes is sure to make the sun want to shine just a little brighter.
Now all I need is a little girl of my own...................
