We’re being over run by plushies here at Mash n Gravy HQ. Blabla Boogaloo’s are about to land…

Blabla’s collection is designed by Florence Wetterwald and knitted by Peruvian Artisans.

Everything is made from natural fibres of exceptional quality grown in Peru, making the line irresistibly soft and cuddly.

Florence’s poetic, simple and vibrant style combined with the ancestral knowledge of the knitters has created products which look contemporary, yet feel like old friends.

Happiness which fits in the palm of the hand.

It was evident from the inception of Mash n Gravy that we had a Multitude of labels in store all beginning with the letter M.

This has been brought to my attention again as we rapidly approach the Month of May.

This season Australian favourite, Munster are sticking to their skater roots and have brought us a collection of tongue in cheek graphics in bright boyish colours.

Mini A Ture have proven their unrelenting ability to produce classic, yet contemporary children’s wear loved by parents and children alike.

We’ve had a significant birthday here at Mash n Gravy HQ recently. My eldest son turned five and as if this wasn’t a big enough deal the first wobbly tooth was discovered!

We couldn’t let the occasion pass by unmarked therefore organised a party – for the birthday, not the tooth – and a special cake, which must be shared pictorially, not literally, (sorry, none left) with you, our blog readers.

The creation was the idea from the girls at Cupcake in Glasgow (www.cupcakeglasgow.com) was a work of genius which I, sadly do not possess. But it illicited the desired “ooh’s and ah’s” from the little people and tasted like a slice of heaven.

See for yourselves.

I don’t know about you but I’m finding all this wind and rain more than a little tedious and last week when the snow came to the west coast yet again it was the straw which broke the camels back. I booked our summer holiday.

Another awesome new arrival at Mash N Gravy

Dandy Star pride themselves on not doing the ‘fashion thing,’ although it is quite evident that they cannot escape their own heritage.

Because they care about what they make, from sourcing the best of soft cotton, to designs that may cause the odd argument over a cup of tea, the outcome is ranges that don’t have a shelf life or sell-by date.
