One of many fabrics debuting at Javis Davis is the new Java Pear collection. For the mom out there trying to steer clear of traditional pink and blue, but yet not go too modern, this is a great option. The little green elephant in this print is just adorable, and I think this would look great with a dark wood crib in either a baby boy or girl nursery. It's also an option if you want to keep the gender a surprise (not that I could ever do such a thing!).
Small Fry Children's Clothing in Denton, Texas is such a great place to find unique clothing and accessories for your little one. With brand names such as Baby Nay, Baby Lulu, Biscotti-Kate Mack, Le Top, (the list goes on and on), you are sure to find something adorable that you can't live without.
Considering the ups and downs of our economy over the last several decades, Small Fry has really stood the test of time. They will soon celebrate their 40th year in business under the watchful eye of the original owner, Nancy Cole. She must be doing something right because customers keep coming back again and again. The customer service is superb and you feel like you are part of the family when you enter the small little store located at the corner of Sunset and Anna Street in Denton (just off University Drive).
I always turn to Small Fry when looking for a special outfit for my baby girl, and also back when my son was little. I must say that little girl clothing is definitely the focus here. You'll find that in the section containing newborn to 12 month size all of the clothing is pretty equally divided between boy and girl, but once you get into the big room the focus is all girly girl...lots of dresses, bows, headbands, tights, bloomers, hats...you name it!
What is really incredible is that my mom used to shop at Small Fry for my clothing back when I was a little girl. I still remember our special trips there for new "school clothes".
And while it feels great to support such a wonderful, long standing local business, it feels even better to get a great deal. Small Fry's regular prices are better than anything I've found online. To give an example, I found a Baby Biscotti Christening gown for my daughter at Small Fry with a regular retail price of $86.00. The best deal I could find online for the same dress was $100.00 + shipping.

Head on over to Small Fry Children's Clothing, and tell Shelby and Nancy hello for me.
Inspiration boards are a great tool to help you visualize and create the look you are going for in a room. If you haven't mastered a graphics program like Photoshop, I've found a much easier way of creating your own inspiration board on a website called Polyvore. Polyvore is a free web-based application that allows you to drag and drop items from your favorite websites to create virtual inspiration boards such as the Coral Vine board listed below.
Polyvore will save the board you create and it will also save useful information next to the board such as product description, source website and price.
Here's more information about how it works. The general layout reminds me a lot of Flickr. All in all I have found it very addictive, fairly easy to use and best of all...free!
In honor of all the dads and soon to be dads out there. Here are a few cute ideas for the man in your life.
When I'm asked for my opinion about must have baby items my number one answer is always - INVEST IN A GOOD ROCKER OR GLIDER.
It is really incredible how much time you will be parked in that chair during your baby's first year of life. From my rough calculations I would say I spent approximately 720 hours in my rocker during the endless nursing sessions and sleepless nights of those first three months alone. And even after the first year you will spend plenty of nights curled up with your toddler reading Good Night Moon for the umpteenth time, or rocking your three year old for hours on end when they are not feeling well. A comfortable rocker is a must!
You might want to try to pick out a fabric that is neutral enough to use with a second baby or that will grow with your child into their big boy or big girl rooms.
But even if the fabric you choose for baby #1 does not work for baby #2 you can always have it recovered. My rocker was initially a denim fabric for my son's nursery which was a western theme, then for $250.00 (plus fabric) I was able to have it recovered in a green chenille for my daughter's room.
A good glider or rocker is an investment, but in my opinion is well worth the money.
Etsy is such a great resource for affordable and unique artwork to decorate a nursery.
And wouldn't this one be just perfect along with the new Georgie Girl collection from Javis Davis?
And what about this little guy? I just fell in love with this cute little bunny.
I think he would look great along with the new Bollywood collection from Javis Davis.
