Alfie's Friday Favourite

"Waddler was born of an adventure". Isn't that the most wonderful thing to be able to say about your business? The creators behind Waddler left London and moved to South America when their first little boy was one year old. They now have two sons and regularly return to Bolivia where their collection is produced. Working closely with a team of knitters, the process starts with the grazing Alpacas, the washing and spinning of the wool and of course, ends with the knitting of beautiful garments and accessories. Their clothes are made to Fair trade Standards from 100% baby Alpaca.

The 'Wolf & Bear' hooded jumper is possibly my favourite but I also love the 'Mitten overalls' 

Make sure you have a look at their catalogue images. They share how childhood should be. Carefree and comfortable.

Stylish Bedtime

I came across RaFa Kids while searching the internet for bedding for my bigger boys. Quirky design, great colours, pleasant for me to look at as well as lovely for them to sleep on. RaFa-kids fills that wish list and they have amazing beds to put that bedding on.
Owned and operated by a couple of architects from the Netherlands who are themselves the parents of two boys, their mission is simple, " make good and affordable quality design objects for children".

This combination is the the 'F bunk bed' with the 'R toddler bed' placed underneath. The position of the  toddler bed is easily changed due to the wheels at one end. The 'F bunk bed' used alone would allow your child to use the underneath space for play or study. They make a very stylish space saver.
You can pre-order now for availability at the end of May.

I love the bedding. Hand printed and 100%cotton, the designs are unique and each is produced in a small series. Each bedding range is created by an individual designer/s.

              

Little Red Stuga

Little Red Stuga is a Swedish design company. Through their products and in-house projects, they provide innovative designs to stimulate children, always with a learning aspect.
Looks like fun to me!

The blankie "Indian". A collaboration with designer Elisabeth Dunker.

Mountain Poufs. Fuji, Mount Everest and Kilimanjaro each have a unique artwork from an original drawing, printed on. Look closely and you might spot some climbers!

Buclo. This foam module can be used to climb on, build with and practice balancing on. When its not being used for that, it makes pretty convincing trees and clouds.

Down To The Woods

This store is gorgeous. 'Down To The Woods' is full of products that until recently, could only be found in Europe.
Well look whats new! We all adore the round felt ball rugs but the new 'Lek' rug is inspired by the love of all things Chevron and the Nepalise landscape. 'Lek' means 'mountainside' in Nepalise. Each rug is handcrafted and has a fun detailed edging.
I think your little guy would LOVE this in his room.

You can treat your home to a Lek rug here.

Big Bear

Happy Monday.
I'm loving this new print by Kerry over at The Seventy Tree. 'Big Bear' would add so much fun to your child's wall don't you think!

You can purchase this lovely bear here.
