peanut to person

Oh Bleubird!

I found the funkiest little lady with the funkiest style today! She has an online vintage fashion shop and writes her own lil blog.. and she is growing a peanut too… cept she calls hers a lil birdy :) http://bleubirdvintage.typepad.com/blog

Here are some AMAZING things i found on her sites.. that I covet!

I love everything about this outfit! And i can imagine Mel pulling it off splendidly. I have NEVER seen anyone pull of high pants as well as the one and only Miss Melissa Duncan:

I lurv this dress… model.. and background… and i want her hair.. bad!

I love toot hair, toot dresses (especially in red) and toot tan boots…yum yum!

paired nicely with this:

or this:

I knowwww jax will love these little bags…. she infected me with he love of carved leather…. mmm with other peoples pen marks on the inside.

I love this cool hair too.. but not her expression! and i love this dress but with a few modifications… and definitely a belt!

I love this .. but not the feather poo on her head..

Ooooh I want this dress BAD.

Like the hat and fabric .. not so much the cut.

I want this dress too!

love this top too! be good for squeezing peanut under.

She also sells things for Peanuts… like this! i lurv it! I love vitnage tees.. and I wish mum had kept some more of my brother clothes.. cos they had some ripper tshirts… at least until the 90s and it went downhill from there…heehee

She also has some unbelievable photos on her site… like the one below.. I would love some pics of me nick n peanut in this lighting/setting.

Peanuts kicking.. reminding me to get back to work…..

Dear Nicholas, I love you….

……. and I just NEED a few small things……

You see… its not my fault really. Its the fault of my two favourite shops deciding to ship to Australia.. finally. www.anthropologie.com and www.urbanoutfitters.com its their fault hubbo. cos look! look what they gots!! They made it just for me I just know it…

www.anthropologie.com

these ones are anthropologie’s fault:

This is the most amazing book that I could read for ages and ages and ages and ages…. you know.. like when im feeding peanut for the 16th time that day…

when you buy me a laptop (so I can work from the beach or park when I take peanut out to play) i can put it in this!

and i can write you love letters with this!

oh and look i can open you beers with this! remember I wanted to buy it when we were in New York and you rolled your eyes and said “i need to get out of this shop NOW” heehee 2 hours just wasnt enough!!!

and if we get this fun one too I can open you two beers at a time - id be the best wifey ever!!!

and when i drop them both from trying to open them both at once i can mop it up with this cute tea towel:

and you can watch and laugh while sitting in this comfy chair with peanut on your lap

then we can draw the curtains to peanuts room so he can have a snooze. Just not sure which colour.. maybe you can help! Red:

or Green:

Hmm i know, its a toughy.

Ohh and so you can watch the footy in peace, ill take Peanut to the beach and Ill wear this hat with big sunnies.. I think its a good yummy mummy hat:

This would be cute to hang over peanuts bed in his little room:

And these are super duper cute to eat off! Look! ish mi birds! told you they made it just for me boomba!

And these plates are fun too, kinda like sea urchins!:

This would be good to hang by the front door so Batman and Peanut dont steal our keys and escape on an adventure together. Batmans driving just isnt up to scratch:

And you know how I accidently always use your towel? Well if you had an “N” hook and I had an “A” hook and peanut had a “P” hook then it wouldnt happen anymore! See im sooooo clever!

i like this shelf bracket… we could …. have a shelf! who doesnt need a shelf these days.. everybody’s doing it ….

Heehee for peanut’s light switch in his little corner!

And here are some yummy soaps so me n peanut arent stinky:

Nooobody wants a stinky wifey!

its just a coincidence that it happens to be my most favouritist brand in the world… Mor….. sheeer coincidence….

Oh and look we can use these drawer handles so we know whose draw is whose… P - peanuts H - Hubbos W - wifeys. so ‘mazing. i know. i thought of it all by myself.

So well.. thats just Anthropologie.. now i jus find you what Urban Outfitters made me!

Dear Seed,

I am writing to you with the following 3 way ultimatum:

1) Stop producing such unbelievably gorgeous clothing that I dont want, I need.

OR

2) Dramatically reduce your absurd pricing

OR

3) Give me one of everything in every size of your entire boys range for the next 10 years.

Please.

Either that or I will pass on the costs of my divorce proceedings to you, as the wrath of my husband upon discovering my sneaky full-price internet purchases from you will divorce me. And make me pay everything back. And he will probably take Batman too.

So as you can see. These are dire circumstances - and you hold the only solution.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely cutting up my credit cards,

Mrs Alexandra Hill

Sponsorship

Dear Daily Juice Company, Harris Farm and Berri,

I would like to apply for sponsorship from you for the birth of my child, Peanut. I am basing this on my longstanding devotion to your juices, particularly orange, of which I having been consuming up to 8 litres a week of late.

In fact, I am pretty sure my child is not swimming in amniotic fluid, but a a tasty orange cocktail - with lots of pulp, i love pulp. It is in fact quite likely that Peanut will be born orange, or at least a tinge thereof.

As such a loyal customer, I would like to request some t-shirts, kegs of juice, and other such juice related goodness. Perhaps an unlimited supply of orange juice for the remainder of my pregnancy would be greatly appreciated, especially given that you charge $7 for two litres. I average a litre a day, so that is $24.50 per week of my wage goes directly to you, which equates to $980 over the course of this pregnancy.

C’mon, a grand in orange juice alone? surely that deserves a t-shirt.. or a voucher.. or a medal or something!!!?

I have not yet worked out how this arrangement will benefit you… I’ll get back to you on that.

In short, can you please just chuck some free juice my way because its costing me a freaking fortune!

Yours sincerely,

Alexandra Hill

Not Gonna Happen

I don’t care how pregnant I get, or how comfy you tell me these are.. there is no way, not even a chance, I will ever ever ever ever ever EVER wear these:

Bonds, i love you, i do, but these are bad. BAD. the worse kind of bad.

I think peanut would come out even less cool if I wore these, and thats not a risk im willing to take.

In Search of THE Blankie

Every kidlet has their security blanket, often a literal blanket… and I wanna find a super special one for mr P.. even though he will trash it and vomot and dribble and poo and wee and grind pumpkin and crayons into it.. i still want it to be great to begin with!

So im hunting them down.. i really wanted to knit one myself.. but well besides the fact that I cant knit.. I have heard stories of woolen blankies unravelling and being super gross and stinky because you can’t wash them as brutally as you can other fabrics…. and I think im going to be washing this thing almost daily if P takes after his mum n grandmas eating skills… so I need a hardy.. but still special blankie.. without paying $950 for it (somehow i stumbled onto the Hermes site ahhh big mistake).

So far Im a huge fan of www.cradlerock.com.au stuff like:

I also really like these ones from www.baby-bedding.com.au

Yes yes yes I am aware that nearly all of these are woolen….but but but i like them!!!!!

Names We Can’t Use

Well, Ithought Id come up with a winner………….

Until I put it together with our last name.

Cypress.

Yeah nah I don’t think so.

Cypress Hill

That rules that one out Mr P - probably much to your fathers delight.

So Cypress goes in the bin with River, Clover, Storm, Ezekial, Jeremiah, Ochre, Onyx, Wolf, Fox and Tiger………. maybe its a good thing nick is a fusspot……. or Peanut will get his lunch stolen everyday at school.
