Babies!

Filed Under Children, Shop 

The Shop Tart loves baby showers, particularly when they’re for girl babies. You see, she has three boy babies and one husband. Although she adores the boys, she’s always excited to have an opportunity to shop for a girl. It’s probably a good thing she has no daughter, because she might blow the poor girl’s college account on clothes…

In her quest for the perfect baby gift, the Shop Tart found too many to count. Here are some highlights:

  • Tickled Pink is the place to go for all things custom. Owner (and designer and seamstress!) Caroline Glenn can monogram anything and has a room full of fabric to choose from. When the Shop Tart stopped in, she was working on monogrammed night-light shades. Too cute! Tickled Pink is known for their custom nursery bedding, but they also do clothes, curtains and bags. Speaking of bags, they carry the très chic Petunia Picklebottom diaper bags. They also have baby socks that look like Mary Jane’s by La Trompette if you’re looking for something small. If you’re looking for something big, they are the only place in town carrying Silver Cross strollers.
  • Debbie at Sid and Nancy had the perfect gifts for a mom who plans to keep rockin’ after baby. She showed the Shop Tart several Rock onesies (in black, so they won’t show dirt!), tiny rockabilly-style sunglasses and the absolutely essential Temporary Tatoos for baby! She also had a totally punk-rock messenger style diaper bag that made the Shop Tart (almost) wish her toddler wasn’t heading towards potty training.
  • Little Lambs and Ivy as always had plenty of great things to choose from. They carry a ton of the very stretchy, cute and cuddly Zutano, which the Shop Tart has found holds up very well to repeated washing and wear.
  • Paul D. Sloan Interiors isn’t a place one would normally think of when shopping for a baby. In fact, actually bringing a toddler into the store could end up costing you thousands of dollars in damages. But they carry the cutest bowls, cups and divided plates by BabyCie. They have French words on them, which makes them très chic and educational, too!
  • Last, but not least, Tiny Treasures has a great selection. The Shop Tart particularly likes their collection of traditional baby clothes, like day gowns and bonnets. They also carry very pretty small diaper bags in Toile, perfect for baby’s trips to church nursery!

Happy shopping!

    Great find. I’ve been longing for a baby girl my self as I have 2 boys. But that doesn’t stop me from getting cute baby stuff - I have nieces. Thanks for the post.
