By Whimsy on Wednesday, April 17, 2013

no time! always. no. time. to write...

yes, once again sadly neglected *sigh*

so, as a quick update, I thought I'd just share some of the new arrivals from Munster.
Funky, as always, beautifully made, as always
bursting with colour!

my kids want these 'masks'

love these slim fit cords- such a fun colour, bright without scaring the boys away :)

this looks gorgeous with black leggings, I know, my 5 yr old has one!

yep! bright & fun!

all available from Whimsy

We should have been doing our tax yesterday...

That's what we had planned :(

but this just seemed like so much more fun!

procrastination anyone??

If you haven't discovered this yet (& I can't believe that we haven't previously)

there is a wonderful Musical playground, just outside the Museum.

Our kids had a great {free!} time playing & exploring.

then we loaded them up with forbidden foods!

lovely day...

we need to make time for more of these

0 Tegu

It's been so, so long since I've managed to find the time to write a blog post.

I seem to have started the last couple of posts with a phrase like that too...

just too much to do, not enough time!

I guess at some point, something has to give, unfortunately, for me in the last couple of months just one of those things has been the Whimsy Blog.

But... I just had to write about an exciting new arrival.

Not here yet, but I'm pretty excited about this one!

Tegu ticks all the boxes for us!

**They promote open ended, creative play.

**They're fantastic quality- & made from natural, non-toxic materials.

**They're manufactured in an environmentally & ethically sound manner.

& you have to admit, they're a pretty awesome design idea!

so, what are they?

well, they're beautiful wooden blocks.

beautiful wooden blocks with a pretty large distinction... they contain magnets!

Hidden inside these blocks are magnets, so they allow the type of construction & play that previously you could only dream about!

check these!

becomes... this!

Tegu will be arriving soon at Whimsy... we can't wait!

in the words of my four year old... Best. Blocks. Ever!

0 New Generals

By Whimsy on Wednesday, January 18, 2012

In just a one year New Generals has become known for doing things differently than the established kidswear industry. New Generals is cool - unashamedly fashion cool. Yet at the center of the cool, black exterior beats a green heart. New Generals is certified organic from the cotton fields to the shop floor with ethical production throughout. To New Generals this is not a contradiction - they call it being ethicool. And it works.

Lots of black, quirky detailing and crisp graphics are at the core of the New Generals signature look. Oversized pockets, extended backs, pointy pockets, pleat shoulders, high-cuffed leggings, narrow cuts, edgy prints and lots of black and grey with a few splashes of a beautiful pale lilac.

Restrained cool yet playful and quirky, the collection spans 0-10 years
