Tea Pony, vintage children's designer love, and a little Belle and Boo


I have been meaning to share one of my children's clothing industry favourites, the wonderful, vintage inspired Tea Pony.


Australian made and so sweet, Tea Pony has such lovely vintage inspired, unique and imaginative designs. x



Another favourite Tea Pony creation is the Belle and Boo 'Lost' dress,


... a collaboration with the lovely UK artist, Belle and Boo, the creator of some very sweet children's illustrations.


If I may sidetrack for a while, because it is funny who is connected to who in this small world... The above Tea Pony dress was lost, with little wooden duck on the back of the dress as well.
Here is the Belle & Boo print 'found'...

I also heard of Belle and Boo from child photography friends, via her very special illustrations for the beautiful Ava.




... and Ava's mother Sheye is such a wonderful soul, a beautiful children's photographer and writer.
