m•o•m

We stumbled on the most cutest little garage shop in Encinitas over the weekend, just next to the Hansen's ski treadmill (those of you north county folks will know what I mean). It's called M•O•M and it's full of little handmade clothes and toys and buntings and such, styled perfectly with vintage toys and tables. It's exactly what I thought I'd be doing after I had a baby... sewing bloomers and the like. Turns out, NOT! Maybe some day sooner than later I will finish the crib bumpers I started?

But at least there is one mom out there making things I'd like to make one day:



See, it's a tiny little shop, but just the perfect size for what it is.



Cute bunting from vintage hankies.





Little bow ties.



And sunsuits from a vintage pattern.



And ties.



Standing there I had the perfect "I'm sad and glad I don't have a girl" moment. Sad because I couldn't buy vintage sunsuits and dresses and aprons and buntings. Glad for the same reason. Instead I bought a little set of bean bags, which are the perfect size and weight for little hands learning to grab and carry and other important life skills.

Of course I didn't have my real camera, but iPhone is surprisingly good in a pinch.

Love MOM. LOVE.

those beanbags are pretty sweet themselves. especially imagining a baby slapping them around!

isn't this the cutest shop?!... I am addicted to her ties for Henry. Plus they are the best little gifts.

You might start sewing and crafting once he's a little bit bigger. My mom sewed lots of our clothes, but not till we were toddling around :)
