mini marche

My pal @mini.marche sent us the sweetest and most thoughtful surprise—a set of her handmade clips. I thought they were super cute in photographs, but they are absolutely beautiful in person! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness, @mini.marche!  Avery was over the moon about them and is already planning the days that she’ll wear them. ☺️ Please check out Jeanette's shop on Etsy!

lately lily abc travel flash cards

The team at Lately Lily have outdone themselves with this beautiful and bright set of alphabet flash cards! Illustrated by Micah Player, these engaging cards take you along on Lily’s travels and jaunts and make practicing the alphabet and letter sounds fun.  Avery’s favorite illustrations are the ones of the hotel, airplane, keys, and the train. 

lately lily's first book

It’s no secret that we love Lately Lily, so we were thrilled to find out about Lily’s first book, Lately Lily: Adventures of a Travelling Girl by Micah Player.  Micah’s brilliant artistry and thick brushstrokes bring a lovely vintage feel to Lily’s bright and sunny world.  This book is a great introduction to “The Traveling Girl” and her curiosity and enthusiasm about the big world around her.  Lily travels near and far on an endless quest for discovery and new experiences.  We agree with Lily: “There is so much to SEE!  So much to EXPERIENCE!  So much to EXPLORE!”  You can follow Lily’s apparel line to find out “Where has Lily been, lately?"

new shoes

Every year we seem to get Avery a pair of Pio Pios from Livie & Luca.  It's hard to resist their charming and sprightly quality!  Check out L&L’s current offerings of Pio Pios in chocolate, mint, turquoise and silver in babies’ and girls’ sizes along with their spring collection on their website.  Loving these little Charm Vintage Gray sandals for the summer, too.  We’ve gone through many pairs of L&L shoes and sandals and can say that their quality and durability hold up through many an outing and excursion.  Note: we actually purchased this particular pair of purple Pio Pios last year but Avery just got around to wearing them recently.  They’re still available in one size here.
