Wondertime is wonderful

Last week I bought my first issue of Wondertime and I have to confess it was for narcissistic reasons - products from P&P featured on a number of pages. HOWEVER, as I hungrily flicked through the magazine looking for our products (yes, we're still new enough for editorial coverage to be a major deal, and to be honest, can't see the thrill wearing off!) I was hit with what a great magazine I was leafing through. Not only are the articles insightful in their handling of a diverse range of subjects including the change in friendships when you have kids, nurturing kindness in children and the community of mums who blog, the magazine itself has a nice physical feel to it...but I digress, here is a look at all the fabulous P&P items in the mag...

Maja Dress

Mary-Jane gumboots and headband with rosette

#2 is one of our fabulous Rosie Flo colouring books

#11 are our gorgeous Beatrix Potter masks

Think the masks look so cute in this scenario, great for a themed garden party...

Spring Clean

There is nothing quite like the feeling of a spring clean! Here at The Princess & The Pea we have been madly sorting through our collection and have decided to say a fond farewell to more than 60 different products as we streamline our cyber-shelves and make space for some fabulous new goodies. We have reduced their prices considerably, making it an absolutely fantastic time to grab them as they disappear for good. Pop over to our spring sale page and have a look. Here are just a few of the lovelies we are saying au revoir to:

Hanging Alphabet Letters

now $12.00

Cocoon Couture Early Bird Cushion

now $30.00

Silicone Spatula Set

now $8.00

Velvet & Tweed shirt & pants

now $23.00 each

Shop 4 Kids

Have been meaning to tell you all that the spring/summer edition of Shop 4 Kids came out a couple of weeks ago and we were rather chuffed to have a couple of our items included in it. The gorgeous Maya skirt from Australian label mamapapa was featured along with the fabulous Astro Boy, who incidentally has already sold out!

Project Runway

I'm almost religious about Project Runway. After stumbling across it on a lazy night in several weeks ago, I have become steadfast. While the awkward and wooden delivery of host Kristy Hinze leaves me grimacing every time (why they didn't get someone like Sarah O'Hare who is fabulous on Australia's Next Top Model??), I am completely overwhelmed by the talent and resourcefulness of the designers, and can hardly wait for the finale. It's down to Anthony, Lauren and William. I think Anthony is a stand out for his originality but there's something very refined and sophisticated about the work of both Lauren and William. The game really does belong to anyone. Not quite the same thing I know, but every time the paper doll images cut across the Project Runway screen I'm reminded of our own lovely paper dollsmade by the B. Shackman Company who have been making fine paper goods since 1898. They are made from firm card and each come with several cute outfits to change into. They are perfect for road trips or just as a little extra something in a gift. Failing that, use them to stage your very own project runway. Now how's that for a segue?!
