Interior Decorating Ideas Kitchen: baby

There's a special arrival coming around Christmas time to Lauren of <a href="http://www.purestylehome.blogspot.com/">Pure Style Home</a> -a new baby! So a bunch of us got together to host a virtual baby shower for this very talented and generous blogger. Here are the collected "virtual gifts" - things we think Lauren & her new baby would enjoy.

These sweeties are one of a kind dolls that are keepsakes as well as a much loved plaything. They are made using natural fibres like - mohair, angora, alpaca, wool and cotton...very good for little ones - no nasties. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRo2S-kVZRs9TKiVrH0oZ5oblJqYYr-fBDcZS-TskFiyHL1ybEnmn1ounlzqA-_nY_qWZsPM1cB0t-9XAVu0Uyf4shlafpipee4EyVAZlA_oDs2RgWb70xW5ngB9z4Z9PoAwtgLsSXQfRZ/s1600/acocoawarp2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410392669451388018" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRo2S-kVZRs9TKiVrH0oZ5oblJqYYr-fBDcZS-TskFiyHL1ybEnmn1ounlzqA-_nY_qWZsPM1cB0t-9XAVu0Uyf4shlafpipee4EyVAZlA_oDs2RgWb70xW5ngB9z4Z9PoAwtgLsSXQfRZ/s400/acocoawarp2.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> And finally something for Lauren. I find people often forget about the mother that has just done all the work, so for you my sweetie a gorgeous Tasmania Myrtle wood pendant from a favourite Tasmanian Designer, Sophie Hill from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/sophiehillartist">That Vintage</a>...I like the one with the Deer head or the vine pattern (I have that one and it goes with anything!!). I wish you all the luck in the world, for you and your little cherub! I hope you enjoy your Australian 'gifts' Lauren.

She has always been so gracious and is one of the kindest bloggers I have had the pleasure of knowing. Everyone knows that Lauren has great style with a bit of a European flair, so I thought one of these sweet alphabet prints from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_2&listing_id=35645465">Bibity</a> would be ideal for the new baby. Not only do they speak to Lauren's design sensibility, but I personally love them because of my background in foreign languages. If it's a girl, Lauren can hang the pretty French Alphabet poster in the baby's nursery and if it's a boy, she can go for the more masculine-looking Italian Alphabet print. Either way, I am sure both the baby and the nursery will be beautiful! Congratulations, Lauren! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizzyaIPs55N7I6D-vJZHqjEW6vwQUP1xBAtvkUkvIN5LhvOFp-Ov4KN15ICcPui0oGhnP-Vwk_UWVZ-vqWBGLfHPojjNff9FUwq4sLS4cxUocxYh1hcUeQCtOLseoNqscftFlKcF72so98/s1600/zshower3.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410049637562512578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizzyaIPs55N7I6D-vJZHqjEW6vwQUP1xBAtvkUkvIN5LhvOFp-Ov4KN15ICcPui0oGhnP-Vwk_UWVZ-vqWBGLfHPojjNff9FUwq4sLS4cxUocxYh1hcUeQCtOLseoNqscftFlKcF72so98/s400/zshower3.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 286px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVCaRxkQ2X5L5V0WrtQBq3TjSho6OogfEbh8y6WEcOVIjie2NE_DMdaFuvMUY0HTYdL8ckX6OTfZwe4NAkDzUGa91_VQo6bITD7fMSuxazsUY-jqiHavLbF81bfTsdbgivoTueV4YVb6C/s1600/zshower4.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410049584356849282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHVCaRxkQ2X5L5V0WrtQBq3TjSho6OogfEbh8y6WEcOVIjie2NE_DMdaFuvMUY0HTYdL8ckX6OTfZwe4NAkDzUGa91_VQo6bITD7fMSuxazsUY-jqiHavLbF81bfTsdbgivoTueV4YVb6C/s400/zshower4.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 286px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> from Ally of <a href="http://www.fromtherightbank.com/">From the Right Bank to the Left Coast</a> - the <a href="http://www.dwellshop.com/b2c/ecom/ecomEnduser/items/itemDetail.aspx?&page=&store=oFamily=OWLS&siteId=1&itemNum=B820-55-23">Owls Sky Boudoir Pillow</a> from Dwell Studio <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52Cs2NtxqUePgCQIlgPSf19Y07SGOLxeWSJm6fKkBoL1C1_VTstqcL_TQKbsHmmfY6Ed5UyPPD6qiGuAlVmv3x62bGrtGFtE4rhu8vgBuGsIVE-M4PmO55xSyZQ7LulMbQSPn5RZpE2CZ/s1600/zsecuredownload1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410044669673400818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj52Cs2NtxqUePgCQIlgPSf19Y07SGOLxeWSJm6fKkBoL1C1_VTstqcL_TQKbsHmmfY6Ed5UyPPD6qiGuAlVmv3x62bGrtGFtE4rhu8vgBuGsIVE-M4PmO55xSyZQ7LulMbQSPn5RZpE2CZ/s400/zsecuredownload1.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 321px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>Maria - <a href="http://www.colourmehappyblog.blogspot.com/">Colour Me Happy</a> I chose this blanket for lovely friend Lauren because I have always wanted one of these somewhere in my living room!

Our blog comments led to emails, which then led to a meet and greet when she was in the area and then came numerous phone calls because we are far away from each other! When Lauren told me the news of her latest bundle of joy I was so excited! I've had babies one the brain this last year so it was exciting to know I had a friend I could live vicarously through. I of course jumped at the chance to join in and help Michele with this lovely virtual baby shower. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilgonBP7MvY0o2UAjHae25Sv9xxghBbo7YQU19q8voZXHUDGuQRlAtaFZgYz3MrhM_cQDvGsG14iIkrSyEVHqnN-TaOLzdr3FVEEy9l5n2PBGy1sjIDwwDApwU9-huoIl5Sihya-_Y1ZWH/s1600-h/owlinrow.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410475692899600978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilgonBP7MvY0o2UAjHae25Sv9xxghBbo7YQU19q8voZXHUDGuQRlAtaFZgYz3MrhM_cQDvGsG14iIkrSyEVHqnN-TaOLzdr3FVEEy9l5n2PBGy1sjIDwwDApwU9-huoIl5Sihya-_Y1ZWH/s400/owlinrow.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 360px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 270px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> There is a great tutorial for how to make them here: http://moonstitches.typepad.com/photos/tutowlrial/index.html Now once we know whether it is a boy or girl and what he or she is named I would be more than happy to take a stab at this DIY project and send some little whoo's to VA. It's been driving me crazy not knowing whether it's a boy or girl. Damn lauren for wanting a surprise :) , but either way I know this little baby is not only going to be extremely loved, but have a very stylish room. Lauren has mentioned that owls are on her brain for this latest nursery and I think these sweet little guys would look great on a shelf. Holly of <a href="http://www.thingsthatinspire.net/">Things that Inspire</a> One of my favorite recent posts from Lauren was about what makes a home comfortable. In a house with young children, I think part of what makes a home comfortable is the sound of happy children, and in particular the sound of happy children singing! This is a gift of comfort, happiness, and song to Lauren and her family. I purchased these when I had my first child, as I could not remember any of the words to the classic songs from my childhood. All three of my children have grown up listening to these tunes, and they hold a very special place in my heart! I hope Lauren, her husband, and her children have a lifetime of wonderful music in their lives <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtJHqn83HFm7CYNXl06bsd9j5n5-w_KypUFRr0gdLjdsW5L82PhuwvMH-kTCGSCXB42PuRWgVaIMloDjGsiFjwk-819DZ_NB7-MzBG9CyNAeneYMhshbZaABMPmHVbYEyXEEbhNT7HHvF/s1600/zchildrensfavvol1_238x257.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410043660019361298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijtJHqn83HFm7CYNXl06bsd9j5n5-w_KypUFRr0gdLjdsW5L82PhuwvMH-kTCGSCXB42PuRWgVaIMloDjGsiFjwk-819DZ_NB7-MzBG9CyNAeneYMhshbZaABMPmHVbYEyXEEbhNT7HHvF/s400/zchildrensfavvol1_238x257.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 238px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 257px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKBndGTCz9S6dodCuY0jIYOym3yNOUBmfoWbRVy7My5K21klfsEtUlXjyfAPb3F1UYjbkj_K0GdJ9KTl4J1kdmnyqLd3qxMCCPfo5T4gBYeyaEvhHPwCi16zlZYI1kqen7nZg64fPNC_gr/s1600/zchildrensfavvol2_238x257.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410043590530886946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKBndGTCz9S6dodCuY0jIYOym3yNOUBmfoWbRVy7My5K21klfsEtUlXjyfAPb3F1UYjbkj_K0GdJ9KTl4J1kdmnyqLd3qxMCCPfo5T4gBYeyaEvhHPwCi16zlZYI1kqen7nZg64fPNC_gr/s400/zchildrensfavvol2_238x257.jpg" style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 238px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 257px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Nelya of <a href="http://www.completelytotallymadly.blogspot.com/">Head over Heels</a> As a mama of three myself, practicality reigns.
