Last week we came across Bra Bling, a fun bra strap decor/reminder tab.  They are handmade in Maple Ridge by Amber van den Hoven .  Frustrated by forgetting which side she’d last nursed on, she decided to create something pretty rather than the standard safety pin reminder.  ”I’m a blingy kind of girl,” says Amber, “I wanted something girly, fun, and something I could use after nursing.”

What makes these little delights even more fantastic is that $2 of every sale of the pink Breast Cancer Bra Bling is donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.  Love it.

Bra Bling are available online, or at a number of Fraser Valley retailers.  We found them at Feminine Form in Langley.

Created with ‘urban mommies’ in mind, this alphabet art offers a bit more of a modern, funky feel than your traditional alphabet art.  Gone are the days of the boring ‘X is for Xylophone’ that we all learned as children – X is captured with a photo of a gorgeous pink cake and, in The Alphabet Project, X is for XOXO :)

Teach your kids the alphabet, or if you don’t have children simply enjoy the fun photography around your home.  

The Alphabet Project letters are available as single pieces, or buy the complete set.  They are available in matte or gloss finish.   Visit the etsy shop for more details.

Gorgeous!

Co-owner Fran was in the shop that day, and was super delightful to chat with.  She & her friend Heidi run Lellow.  Tired of having to visit the ‘big city’ to find trendy, hip children’s gear and gifts, they decided to open up shop in Chilliwack.

Lellow is one of those shops you have to go around a few times, because there are so many great products it’s hard to decide which to choose!  Abbotsford’s Mally Bibs and Westcoast Baby items were there, as well as tons of other great brands like bilibo, Stonz, Bob, Dimpleskins Naturals, Bug and Pickle and much, much more!  I just loved the great selection of baby & children’s booksthey carried too – unique titles I’ve not seen before!

A really great selection of fun, useful baby items and a seriously cute business name.  Lellow - in honour of every lisping two year old.  I love it.

If you don’t live in the Chilliwack area, no worries – Lellow offers online shopping!  Visit www.shoplellow.com to learn more.
