The Land of Nod & Lately Lily

Writing the post on illustrator Andrew Bannecker led me to a gorgeous children's homeware website called, 'The Land of Nod'.  (They had just collaborated, resulting in fantastic Meteorite bedding - see here)  One of the many things that caught my eye was this little cardboard suitcase gift pack complete with three graphic bodysuits in by Lately Lily.  

A little investigating and I found their website.  What a discovery!  Lately Lily is a company that was created by Author/Illustrator Micah Player and Apparel Designer Erin Nichols.  Each season is based on the World travels of their character Lily and her best friend Zeborah.  Cool illustrated posters and Tees are available to buy on their website along with the notes / stories of Lily.  

It is all beautifully done, with great illustration.  A new firm favourite of ours here at Dilly HQ!

Corby Tindersticks Part 2

It was a lovely warm sunny day so we decided to throw on our gorgeous Corby Tindersticks outfits, pack a picnic basket and a few of  favourite toys before heading into the garden.  It was a fun day of lounging about on the blanket, listening to the radio, reading Twinkle annuals and feasting on our delicious picnic.  Plus a bit of skateboarding thrown in for good measure! 

The kids and I love the Corby Tindersticks range.  The kids favour the  feel of the fabric and the ease of wearing the garments as well as the quirky graphics, but what I really love is the detailing.  The appliqués,  the label, the topstiching, the racer back styling - all these aspects make a great garment.  I also love the quirky illustrations, that really are the foundation of this Label and offer a range of toys with these characters, so click on the named link above and check out the whole range.
