Kind over Matter

Sometimes life takes over. 'Mind over Matter'?
Do you ever realise that you're losing focus on the most important things? Surely I'm not the only one! Perhaps what I mean, is that the business/tiredness of life seem to cloud what were once plans/dreams/imagination?

It's nothing seriously really... but sometimes I stop to realise that the plans I'd made, have been lost somewhere in the world that is my head!

Things haven't taken off quite as I'd imagined (not that people have been cold, but that I simply haven't done as much as I'd wanted). My plans were grand - Etsy store and blog running consistently and me churning out the little items with love. I am, more than ever, wanting this to happen... but firstly, I am wife and mummy :)

Wow this has turned a bit heavy... ;) I just wanted to thank you for being patient with my slack blogging and primarily, for being supportive of my product. Definitely can't do any of this without you! Today I am reminding myself to be kind, to love and to make the most of every day!

Hope to have things to show you soon! x



Ada Lavender

Yes, I'm willing to admit... 
I might just have the most beautiful baby in all the world.



Although I'm fairly sure most mother's do...

'with love' skirts and flower pins coming soon.

Love to you today!

Marney

Hello out there. Hope you are having a lovely week!




Just wanted to show you all a new pair of shoes available for purchase.



They are called Marney and feature hand-cut purple blooms with a gem centre.
Natural unbleached cotton and a faux leather sole (perfect for walking baby).



They are a size 3 (approx. 6-12months) and will be $15. Email me if you'd like them!
bandkfindlay@gmail.com (or facebook email is fine)

Summer

Yes please! After our string of cold days/nights and rain, I'd love a little summer warmth... but for now, a little pair of sunny shoes will have to do  ;) They remind me of lemonade, and summer... hence how they got their name. They sport little yellow stripes and a soft rope that ties up around your little girl's ankles.




I thought I'd show you a photo of a few pairs from our first with love collection...
I've been working on inventory for a little stall I'm doing in November - but if you are interested I would definitely offer some shoes before that... let me know.




I wanted to thank you for your support - it's nice to know that someone is out there reading! I'm sorry that I haven't been posting/sharing very often but I have been without internet for a while now... which proves to be a bit of a dampener on blogging ;)

You'll notice that the URL has just changed again - I'm sorry for the stuffing around! withloveblog.com and the label with love are here to stay and will hopefully prove to become my little home-based business (with LOTS of work to do!)

Hope to chat soon,

Gracie one-off available!

Hello, how are you all today? I hope you are enjoying your day! 
It's rainy here, so we are enjoying it with cuddes, some sewing and of course, a cup of tea (or five!).

The Gracie shoes are finished and available for purchase! There is only one pair at this stage, in a size 4. To fit approximately 12-18 months, but you're probably safer to go with measurements... So - the soles measure approx. 12 cm.


They are made of pewter crushed velvet, with organic cotton lining. They close with a velcro strap and are finished with a black, raw edge satin bow. I think they'd look so cute teamed with little distressed jeans and a black and white striped top! A little parisian baby perhaps :)


This particular pair will be $10 as the pattern is still being perfected. They are a little too wide, but still totally cute and more than fine to wear (they are probably great for a baby with wide feet :) ) Please email me if you would like them. It's gonna have to be first in, best dressed! Quite literally ;)

With love x

Gracie

I've decided today to share a little secret.
I've been working on something for you... or rather, for your little girl.
So here is just a little sneak peak...


The 'Gracie' shoes are made of gold/pewter crushed velvet and have flexible faux leather soles (suitable for walkers). They're not yet finished however... so stay tuned!

I'm currently putting together a little collection of baby/toddler's shoes that will be available to purchase.

I'm hoping that there's someone out there interested! Let me know!
Love to you today x

A first try at Boots



Three little buttons down each side.
A label 'with love', I even tried.




The label I left with a raw edge so that it would fray a little. 
Brown floral lining, and a quilted sole.

As for the name, much research and more on that later.

Wishing you a rest and many blessings this week. x
