My Life

Welcome to Cradle & Crayon

Well this is where I am alllllllllllllll day long. The picture on the right is me pretending to work. I really just have fun all day long. What can get better than pregnant tummies and little babies?

My co-worker, Erin, and I recently started referring to Stella as 'Our Mom.' So, naturally, before she left for Peru I asked for an allowance. It is after I made this simple request that the picture on the left was taken. However this picture doesn't do her kindness any justice... my next paycheck I had a dollar raise....



The children's clothing is on the left side of the store. We carry many different brands... I love all of them! Tea and Cakewalk are two of my favorites. How come things are always so much cuter in miniature? Next to the clothing on left (sorry I didn't get any pictures of that portion of the store) are the toys that we carry. None of which have been recalled during this last rampage of recalled toys...



We carry a lot of Morigeau-Lepine furniture. This is a French-Canadian company located in Quebec. My favorite is the 5000 series in chocolate. Ironically, the crib shown in this picture isn't from this company. This is a Shermag crib. I wasn't thinking about displaying anything in particular when I took this picture so I apologize! The stroller in front (which you can only see half of) is a Phil and Ted's stroller. It is genius! I don't know if you can tell, but there is a seat behind the main stroller seat. So it can be a double stoller, but it moves and feels like a single stroller. PLUS, the extra seat is an attachment... so you can use it as a single stroller first THEN when number two comes along you just have to pop on the double seat. AWESOME! The red one is my favorite. You can see better pictures here...

Down to the far right are the maternity clothes. Only the sales rack is seen in this picture. Sorry! We even have some REALLY cute maternity clothes. I mean, really cute. Some of the brands are: Olian, Japanese weekend, Um a Nove, etc. Olian is my favorite. To the right of the picture are: polka dot, wood letters from New Arrivals; small diaper bags from Fleurville, slings by Hotslings (the Ana Stretch is my favorite print...)

These are a few of the nursing chairs that we carry. It is the Storytime series of Best Chairs. The mint colored one seriously amazing. That fleece jacket on the left is actually pretty hilarious. It is Daddy gear. It's a wearable diaper bag. Haha. There are hidden compartments for diapers, wipes, bottles, etc. We also carry fine art work for kids by Oopsy Daisy and Goodnite Moon. They have some really cute stuff... from murals to personalized growth charts....

Well here is where I work! I love it! I am so sad to be leaving. I have really grown to love this little boutique...
