I’m up super early today because I’m working on an fun new project that will be launching soon (excitement)! Since I’m in such a good mood, I thought it was only fitting to kick off the day something super cute that would give you all a smile. These little handmade softies are crafted by Katie from The Crazy Little Fox.

Katie loves to work with bright colours and bold patterns. She makes her plush toys from a mix of cotton and felt. You can find her on Madeit.

To all the lovely Mums of even lovelier daughters, today’s subscriber’s giveaway is especially for you.

To all the lovely Mums of even lovelier daughters, today’s subscriber’s giveaway is especially for you. It is simply impossible to scroll to the bottom of this post without a twinkle in your eye and a quaint little smile creeping across your lips. Perhaps there’ll also be the odd “oooh” or anticipatory “ahhh” as you imagine winning one of these handmade delights from Oh! Veronica!

Although I don’t know for certain the story behind the name of this fabulous Australian handmade label, I can only assume it comes from a series of enchanted customers exclaiming… “Oh! Veronica! What a beautiful dress!!”

Designer and sewing extraordinaire Angela Veronica has an eye for beautiful fabrics and a special fondness for those that “are reminiscent of vintage french textiles found in turn-of-the-century Parisian homes”. Angela uses design elements such as shirring and open sleeves to extend the life of her garments, with dresses converting easily into tops as your child grows.

Have you fallen in love with one of these Oh! Veronica! dresses? This month one lucky reader will win a garment of their choice {dress, top or set} from the Oh! Veronica! collection.

Congratulations to our winner, Tameeka L.
