Vintage shopping





A recent arrival in our home is this amazing wooden hippo piggy bank. His little leg pops out of its socket so you can retrieve your pennies!


Amelia is totally spoiled rotten by her grandparents in terms of toys, books and clothes, so I wanted to pick up something for her first birthday that she can treasure for years to come. It's robust enough to stand up to a bit of childhood rough and tumble (obviously it will be staying on the high shelf for a few more years to come) but delicate enough to be taken good care of.


Happy Birthday, little one.

Love, love, love it! Thinking along the same lines for Findlay's 1st bday (sturdy, keepsake, no plastic) but no great finds yet.
