when i was born

Everett + Piper love this new book on our shelves,

When I Was Born by Isabel Minhos Martins + Madalena Matoso

I was immediately taken by the bright illustrations
against the mostly black background.

It's clever and sweetly written.

Our new fave

a perfect book to give a newborn baby.

fredericks and mae's worry beads

When and if you're worried and stressed,

you should carry around your worry beads.
Put them in your pocket.
Pull out and count beads to yourself
to relieve stress...to pass the time.
Here is a pretty strand
made of
wood
leather
horsehair
thread
pigment

fredericks and mae.

japanese split toe garden rain boots

 

Something about this rad pair of garden boots has me...

Is it the cool navy and royal blue?

Is it the orange top?

Is it the yellow label?

Yes to all of the above.

Of course it's the split toe 

{that would probably drive me crazy but who cares! }

to be worn with these split toes socks.

If you can figure out the sizing...do tell.

Order here.

happy new year!

Everett's new school sneakers
