La Carrousel Paris
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Shopping
Laventelin tuoksuinen silkkipaperi rapisee. Pienet karamellit tipahtavat paketista ulos. Mitä ihanaa? Pari mitä kauneimman haalean, pehmeän vaaleanpunaisia pellavaisia lyhytlahkeisia lappuhaalareita ja sitten vielä toiset samanlaiset. Selästä ristiin kulkevat olkaimet pienen lapsen päällä saavat äidin sydämen sykkimään hieman kovempaa. Pieni käsi taas kulkee kultaisen tereen reunaa ja pysähtyy ihailemaan helmiäisnappeja. Nämä ovat kuin pienet aarteet!
I have a few little brands I really like and one of them is Le Carrousel. These French clothes are so lovely! I ordered my girls little linen overalls for the end of summer and even more so keeping our fall and winter vacations in mind. They came wrapped in silk paper and starched with a lavender scent. Heavenly! The girls were very excited about the french candy that came with the parcel too. These salopettes are the sweetest ever and I´m so glad we still, or finally to be more exact, have some warm days here in Finland so the girls get to wear these beauties to nursery and pre-school. I´m really looking forward to seeing what Le Carrousel has planned for the Autumn-Winter season.
Gorgeous little details like golden piping and mother of pearl buttons.

Pink and bows… yes please!
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Shopping
As you must very well know by now I´m a huge fan of bows. And as my blog´s appearance tells you pink is not my least favourite colour either. So when I saw these cuter than cute sweatpants with pink bows on them I just had to buy them for the girls. Matching sweaters were for sale too but I wanted to match these rather with cardigans. Sweatpants are great for nursery, they are comfortable and easy to wash ( No ironing! Tumble dryer!) but my girls are not usually thrilled with pants. These they loved. And in my opinion these look so cute! I actually gave them as a “first day of nursery”- present when they started last week. ( Ha, I would have bought them anyway but just added a card and it became a treasured present! Cheeky mom!) The price tag did not make me grimace either, I think they were about 15 € a pair. I can not find them online ( to link for you) but these are sold at H&M.

Jump in puddles
by Sofia - in Good things for kids Shopping
I recently found out there is a word ( made up) for people who love rain.
Pluviophile
(n). A lover of rain;
someone who finds
joy and peace of mind
during rainy days.
I´m definitely a pluviophile! And to make kids in to pluviophile´s too I wanted to share a few of my favourite wellies with you. We have raspberry pink, pale pink and yellow rain gear so we have opted for colours to go with those but I love all of these below…
Onko sinulla suosikkimerkkiä kumisaappaissa? Meillä on ollut Hunterit käytössä jo monta vuotta ja ne ovat kyllä kestäneet erinomaisesti käytössä. Tyttöjen sadeasuissa on väreinä keltainen, sekä vaalean- ja vadelmanpunainen, joten tämänhetkiset kumisaappaiden värit valikoituivat niihin sopiviksi. Alla kuitenkin muutama oma suosikki ( ulkonäöllisesti) kumppareista…
Jos voisin jotenkin järkeillä sen, että tytöillä pitäisi olla kumisaappaat myös tummansinisten tikkitakkien tai pitkien punaisten juhlatakkien seuraksi niin hankkisin nämä Jacadin ihanuudet aivan varmasti.// These from Jacadi might be my favourite pair. I love the combination of red and navy and as you know I´m a huge fan of bows too. If I could justify a pair of wellies to go with our navy quilted jackets and little umbrellas I would most definitely get these. But the colours just do not match our rain gear.
