Aunt Bucky Gifts….

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

Well, Aunt Bucky is an aunt again! This time is a lovely little fellow who has a big smile and already wants to stand up at the little ole’ age of 3 months!

She recently told us that she went shopping for little boy’s clothes under the age of 6 months and was surprised to find how limiting selections were when it came to little boy trousers. She agrees with all of us, lots of cute tees but the pants department is just too overstocked with knit pants. She was tired of seeing all the little boys in mini track suit like trousers and decided to take matters into her own hand!

She scoured through her collection of heavy cotton/corduroy fabrics and spent many long nights sewing away so her new little nephew would have some nice sturdy trousers to wear with the adorable tees she bought from various retail shops.

Aunt Bucky handmade Houndstooth Corduroy Baby TrousersCorduroy, Corduroy oh how cute you are! Aunt Bucky has a wonderful collection of corduroy fabrics and this black + white houndstooth is just too darn cute. Elastic waist and rolled up legs will do just fine for now on her little wee one nephew-he can wear these a long time and be a big hit with all the fashionistas!

Aunt Bucky Brushed Denim Baby TrousersBrushed Denim what a wonderful fabric and so cute made into sturdy trousers for a little boy! Self colored Star appliques reinforce the knee area for little guys that crawl around a lot and look supah cute too!

Aunt Bucky Turqoise Denim Baby Boy TrousersAunt Bucky is in love with this heavy denim fabric that is the most amazing turquoise color! This sturdy denim doesn’t need knee patches but these self colored Star appliques are the cutest embellishments we have seen in a long long time on a pair of Baby Boy Trousers!

Aunt Bucky Blue Dungarees Baby Boy TrousersOh boy nothing like a pair of dungarees for a little tiny boy baby! Gosh, this heavy dark dungaree denim fabric is one of Aunt Bucky’s all time great finds! Little pockets are just too cute for words!

Hope you enjoyed Aunt Bucky’s lastest sewing binge-Baby Boy Trousers!

Aunt Bucky appreciates her customers so much that she’s added a new page to her website, ‘Testimonials’  where you can find all our customers giving their testimonies on all of our Aunt Bucky collections.

Receiving a testimony like the one below really made Aunt Bucky’s day:

Fairy Tales make you smarter!

Albert Einstein said,  “If you want your children to be smart read them fairy tales. If you want them to be even smarter, read them more fairy tales.”

Aunt Bucky agrees! Fairy tales are so wonderful for the imagination and such an important part of our early childhood memories. To celebrate her love of fairy tales,  Aunt Bucky has chosen two supah cute fabrics for part of her Modern Baby Bedding Bumper Sets.

Aunt Bucky Peter Pepper Pals Bumper Set‘Peter Pepper Pals’ Bumper Set is ever so cute and very unisex! For all those little ones’ out that love to imagine themselves flying and loving a good adventure!

Fairy Tales make you smarter!

“Once grandmother gave her a little riding hood of red velvet, which suited her so well that she would never wear anything else; so she was always called Little Red Riding Hood.”

Aunt Bucky CinderElsa Bumper SetFor those little ones that love castles and fairy tales where villages are full of flowers, princesses, and hot pink our ‘CinderElsa’ Bumper Set is going to make them tickled with happiness!

Fairy Tales make you smarter!“They followed it until they came to a little house. When they came closer, they saw that the little house was built entirely from bread with a roof made of cake, and the windows were made of clear sugar.”

Where Children Sleep….

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Where Children Sleep....Photographed over two years with the support of Save the Children (Italy), Where Children Sleep is both a serious photo-essay for an adult audience, and also an educational book that engages children themselves in the lives of other children around the world. Its cover features a child’s mobile printed in glow-in-the-dark ink.

That said, some of the children sleep in very different environments that one may find very different than what they imagined. However, this book by James Mollison captures the fact that are bedrooms are part of who we are….

Aunt Bucky has chosen just a few photos from the book that show how unique and important it is to have our childrens’ bedrooms be their space….

Where Children Sleep....

Aunt Bucky loves everything about this room!

Where Children Sleep....Two rooms very different, but I get the feeling both children love their rooms!

Where Children Sleep....Children love to surround themselves with all their accomplishments: they love positive affirmations!

Where Children Sleep....Kawaii stuff in a very organized room….

Where Children Sleep....Remember….A child’s play is work!

This book is a great way for you and child to sit down together and see how other children all over the world live, and the best part is the cover graphic GLOWS IN THE DARK-How fun is that!

And don’t forget….

Where Children Sleep....Aunt Bucky Crib Bedding, Modern Baby Quilts and Shadow Pillows are a great way to start your child’s imagination and creativity in becoming their own!

In photo: ‘Tiny Bit Farm’ Bumper Set, ‘GaGa Farm’ Modern Baby Quilt, ‘Moss Bark’ Crib Sheet, ‘Moss Bark’ Crib Skirt, and ‘Pinky’ Shadow Pillow.
