At the Park

 the small boy is big enough now

he really likes exploring at the park

Little Sailor Boy

If you've been reading here for awhile

you might have noticed I'm rather fond of anything

of a vintage nautical nature

hence it seemed a logical theme for Otis's 1st Birthday

this wee outfit has a thrifted sailor top

wee vintage short overalls

and Portugese vintage shoes

this wee series of pictures is to make his birthday invite

but I'm having a hard time picking my favourites

March in Solidarity with Palestine

Arlo

his favourite thing is to

snuggle in our bed to watch some TV

his Keffir was a present from Ella

Otis

because I'm happy

linking up here

some bonus pictures of the whanau

Two exciting things over the last month

the first was the lovely Anissa at Growmama

 asking me to write in her series

 about my most treasured possession, 

you can read my post here

 the 2nd was that Billy did a drawing

for the Winter Collab  over at Tiny Eyes

we were more than a little excited when Dee

picked his drawing as one of the 6 to be made

(especially as we have one of Dee's gorgeous dolls

 waiting for a small boy's 1st birthday )

also pretty excited to see Sadie's fox girl as well

you can see all the lovely drawings here

Dee posted an Instagram pic of the fabric for Billy's doll today

she is going to look beautiful

I'll be sure to let people know

when the dolls are up for auction

A few more pics
