FunkyMunchkin

Artwork by FunkyMunchkin

Three years ago Emma Skinner was pregnant with her son. She searched around for bold, vibrant baby clothes and decorations for the nursery but was often disappointed. Everything appeared to be either pastel or beige. She began sketching her own ideas and from this FunkyMunchkin was born.

A range of canvas paintings is available for sale at the FunkyMunchkin Etsy Shop. Themes include creatures, science and nature and they’re beautifully captured in bright, funky colours that children will love.

The FunkyMunchkins will be appearing at the next Clutter City market on May 24th.

Lovely baby gifts from Carry Me Home

Carry Me Home is a quirky online shop for babies, little men and little ladies. It’s full of bibs, babygrows, toys, knitwear and other lovely treats.

The brand started life on Spitalfields Market, where you can still find them on Sundays. And from Spitalfields to Carnaby Street they grew and grew and now have their own little corner of cyberspace, where you can find their signature slogan bibs, t-shirts and babygrows and other goodies from a host of talented designers.

The Bonbi Forest Indie Emporium

Indie goodies from the Bonbi Forest Indie Emporium

A little while ago I blogged about Bonbi Forest and Lee May’s menagerie of animal doodles. Since then Lee May has expanded her empire and created the Bonbi Forest Indie Emporium. As well as Lee May’s own range of hand printed t-shirts and quirky jewellery, you can now shop for indie inspired clothing, accessories, zines and homewares. Designers include Fluffstuffs, Cat and Bang, Mr PS and Gallery A. They’re all interesting and original and very very cute.

ThinkingMama

Knitwear by ThinkingMama

I’m always looking for handmade products that have been recycled. Not only are they more eco-friendly but they’re an instant talking point.

This gorgeous knitwear is made by ThinkingMama. Each piece has been reconstructed from old sweaters and then felted to give it a soft and fuzzy texture. Many of the pieces have a science or nature theme. I love the coffee sleeve with the caffeine molecule.

On Cherry Lane

Lovely indie goodies from On Cherry Lane

If cute, kawaii and kitsch is your thing, you’ll fall instantly in love with On Cherry Lane. The brainchild of Rebecca and David Nia, this delightful haven of all things pretty is chock full of indie surprises and unusual Japanese imports. Quirky plushies rub shoulders with bunny earrings and peapod necklaces jostle with cupcake keychains.

Think lovebird wristlets, ice cream tunics and mushroom stamp sets. I really can’t say enough about this site. Go there immediately and prepare to be charmed!
