Back in 2006 my blog started as I had a company in which I made Handmade Jewellery, the blog was a place for me to share my creations and to make new friends in the community.

Fast forward 8 years and I still have all my supplies, but little time, with this being a year of change for me I have promised myself to start making pieces again, I enjoy it so much, but to not focus on spending night after night making enough pieces to make money, I shall do it as a little hobby.

To start a fresh I am selling off the few remaining pieces I have at cost and also offering a piece as a giveaway, allowing me the fresh start I need.

Below are the 6 pieces I have left which are up for sale, if you would like to purchase one just drop me an email kara@innocentcharmschats.co.uk – contact me on twitter or leave me a message below.

I love my G Plan sideboard, if you don’t believe me, check out my guest post at Style Arch where I share her beauty. I am in search for another G Plan beauty, to add to my collection of 2 chairs, sideboard and side table, I am looking for a low line sideboard for my TV.

I am not worried on the condition as if she hasn’t been looked after and is marked I am willing to give her paint job, I have been inspired by some awesome beauties on Pinterest and I thought I would share my favourites.

Which is yours ? Do you own any G Plan I would love to see pictures.

Deacon has been teething for over 5 months now, no word of a lie and we still do not have any teeth! But what we do have is ALOT of dribble, he can soak a bib in 15 minutes flat and if I remember anything correctly with the others this could go on for many more months. So I was very pleased when Funky Giraffe contacted me asking if he would like to try out some of their Bibs.

We have had Funky Giraffe Bibs with both Grayson and Addison before, they have always worked well, but that was 2 years ago so I was interested to see if they had made any changes.

First thing I noticed when I visited the site was the amount of choice, when Grayson was little dribble bibs were still quite new on the market so there wasn’t a great deal of choice but for Deacon there is now literally hundreds of choices, I found it quite difficult to choose.

I picked 5 designs which mean something to us, 2 stars as Deacon has always been in Stars and has a star bedroom, it was just something I became obsessed about when I found out he was a boy.
We also got an awesome dinosaur, Addison loves Dino’s and I knew she would love seeing him with a dino bib (I was not wrong). Also we got a lovely bright yellow and white chevron pattern as I love Chevrons, it is such a funky design for a baby to wear.

Lastly Deacon received a Digger bib, diggers are important in our family as we have run a business with them for over 40 years, I knew Deacons Popsy would be proud, actually Addison wants this bib for herself.

The bibs as before are great quality, they are all machine washable and they wash well, they are the perfect size to grab dribble whilst not covering up his cute tees but as I said the designs make an outfit in themselves anyway.

I love that Funky Giraffe use a double popper system, I prefer poppers to any other fastening, as they hold better and don’t irrate the skin, with the double poppers it makes sure they fit any size neck, which is great as even Grayson still uses a dribble bib on bad days.

I would totally recommend Funky Giraffe, the products do just what they say with so much choice for boys and girls and there is always great offers on their website, don’t forget though Funky Giraffe are no longer just selling Bibs, it’s a one stop shop for a great deal of your baby needs, including cute little dresses, larger feeding bibs, T-Shirts, socks and slippers, you can kit them out from head to toe and with matching pieces.

Disclosure – We were sent 5 bibs and a pair of slippers FOC for purpose of review, all opinions are our own.

I am living in the hope that nicer weather is on it’s way and after seeing a giveaway on Maggie Stone for Saltwater Sandals I was excited to finally find a reputable UK company who sells them.

I have wanted a pair for a couple of years now as my cousin in New Zealand constantly teases me with pictures of hers. So this week my wish list item is a pair of Navy Saltwater Sandals, honestly I really want the bright yellow, but the Navy would go with so much, I am hoping I really do buy these from Milly Mog this year.

How about you, what shoes are you excited to wear or buy when the nice weather sets in ?
