Etsy.com has made Aunt Bucky so happy today! She absoutley loves French Bulldogs and was so happy to see a beautiful Frenchie on their blog, The Storque. She also noticed that they picked Aunt Bucky’s Twitty Bird Crib Sheet (shown with our Alfalfa Shadow Pillow) for this posting too! What a wonderful gift: Aunt Bucky and a Frenchie together at last-a dream come true for Aunt Bucky to add a cutie Frenchie to her little family. I hope Aunt Bucky’s pug, Buta won’t mind having a new family member soon….Because this blog posting is definitely a sign that good things are coming Aunt Bucky’s way-like a Frenchie!

Twitty Bird Crib Sheet looks adorable with our entire 2009 Crib Bedding Collection, but Aunt Bucky’s fav combo is with our darling Pinky Panda Bumper Set and our Pinky Shadow Pillow . All of the above items are currently available on our online shop. (see above photo)

So modern parents are really getting into their babies rooms being hip and nurturing, all at the same time-well who better than Aunt Bucky to make this possible. Aunt Bucky knows how important it is to new hip stylish parents that their mid-century antique collection and newly remodeled spaces are passed onto their wee ones’ rooms and their psyche style. Our “Granny Garden’ Bumper Set would look so cool in a sleek modern crib next to a “to die for” mid-century credenza stacked with adorable handmade toys and vintage children’s books. Aunt Bucky is out to make everybody happy including Baby…..
Thanks Alexa for including our Aunt Bucky ‘Granny Garden’ Bumper Set in your recent feature “Nursery Cool: Raise a Little Design Fiend with Hip Cribs, Mod Rockers and Sleek Toys” in “Express Night Out website. Aunt Bucky is very happy! Thanks to The Pajama Squid for lovin’ Aunt Bucky so much too!

Aunt Bucky is featured today in DailyCandy website! Wow is that delicious news! They wrote a cute poem/song that would be perfect to whisper into your little one’s ear when they are falling asleep so happily on their Aunt Bucky crib bedding!
Here goes:
Sung to the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
Twinkle, twinkle, little bed,
Where my baby rests her head.
And to keep it looking great,
With Aunt Bucky I decorate.
The vintage-inspired bedding can’t be beat,
Mix-and-match patterns aren’t overly sweet.
Printed with pigs and birds that tweet,
Graphic skirts, bumpers, and sheets.
Silhouette throw pillows are oh so cute,
All in bright colors juicy as fruit.
The minute you lay her down to sleep,
She’ll be so comfy you won’t hear a peep.
Twinkle, twinkle, little bed,
Where my baby rests her head.
….awe that is so sweet, thankyou DailyCandy!
