Stroller Reflections

Settling into the autumn routine also means getting used to the early sunsets. And while some folks are winding down for the day at dusk, lots of moms may still be on the go (an attempt at an evening jog, last-minute groceries for dinner at Trader Joes, an evening coffe-time with a friend etc.) - with babes in toe. I know when Freida was a newborn (and the first few months after that), I was always out at dark... I would go to evening classes and get some fresh air by walking there, and even in the late afternoon - walking home from shopping and play-dates etc.

I recently happened upon a wonderful invention for late-night moms-on-the-go: Wagalum Stroller Reflectors. Their tagline is "be seen, be safe", and I'm incredibly fond of the concept. I know when I'm driving, how easy it is to miss pedestrians at night - sometimes you don't see them until you are right in front of them! A stroller (especially a dark one), is even more unlikely to be seen in the dark. These reflectors are a great safety precaution for this time of the year, and definitely a smart buy for you city-moms - always out and about in throngs of traffic...

 

(doesn't look like they are in the US, but if you are an American retailer - go for it, please!)

From the Ballet to the Runway

Everyone knows shades of pastel and flat soles are on the rise, but who knew the ballerina was in the fashion-spotlight?! Perfect for us mums - with ballet you get to mix girly and athletic... resulting in comfortable-chic. Get a load of these images from Chloé Spring/Summer 2011:

The color tones, the textures, the lengths, the accordion-pleats... I'm smitten by the ballet bug!

Why fix it if it isn't Baroque?

My husband and I have been getting lots of inquiries on reclaimed and refurbished items in our home for a while now... we keep finding more items we'd like to work on, but don't really have the space to keep them. We finally decided to move out some of our pieces and free up some space for some new productions. We put some beautiful mirrors up for sale on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, and I thought I'd share the offer here (for those of you readers who are local). We are selling two Baroque wooden framed mirrors:

The white mirror has great detail and is glossy white, measuring 28" x 34".

$200

The black mirror is a refurbished antique, featuring hand carved wooden detail gone dramatically modern in jet-black. It measures 35" x 53", and would be absolutely stunning in an entry way (it can be used vertically as a full-length mirror), or as a piece of art.

$450

Both pieces would do wonders for any space, bringing a hint of luxurious charm to its walls - entry way, dining room, over a breakfront, hallway, bedroom, or simply in leu of art.

If you are interested, please email me: FreidaFroo@gmail.com

(I didn't plan on shipping these, but you truly fall for one (or both) I'm sure we can work something out...)
