Beatrix Potter

I just love the Beatrix Potter series and all the characters. They are just such classic and timeless characters in my opinion and I am so glad that my MIL knows how much I love them as she has been spoiling us (or should I say grandchild #1 to be) with so much Beatrix Potter things...

the latest, which I totally adore is these soft toys. She is planning on getting us the whole series eventually but they are hard to find here in Australia (let alone expensive) so we feel very lucky

sorry I couldnt resist sharing.....

Awww Danielle their so cute! I love Beatrix Potter as well

I was brought up with Beatrix Potter books, and saved all my old ones so that my daughter could love them too, which she did. They were special to her because she featured in an advertisement for BP mugs and plates, back in the late 70s. when she was only a toddler!

I was brought up with Beatrix Potter books too....they are the greatest!!! What a lovely MIL you have......I bet these fantastic toys will be treasured both by you and baby!

Beatrix Potter books are the greatest! Fantastic, these are just so cute! How wonderful that your MIL is already spoiling your sweet little baby, Dan!

oh yes Stephanie we are being spoilt by everyone at the moment - its quite amazing... our nursery to be is getting filled quite quickly this is going to be one lucky child I can tell you!!

In the 70s and 80s I was writing and producing short TV clips/ads about British products and culture for showing on TV around the world. Faith was often called on to participate - she did the first one when she was only 6 months old! I have a roll of film somewhere with most of them on - it embarrasses her now to think about them!

oh how wonderful that you still have the film

Those are just precious! A local shop offered stuffed BP toys. I remember I wanted (probably about 10 yrs ago) and stuffed Nutkin Squirrel but DH didn't get it for me. He was the cutest. Nutkin is from the story isn't he?

yes Squirrel Nutkin is part of BP

I can't find him (the exact one I wanted) I thought he was a Gund stuffed animal so I was doing a search. Look what I found

Isn't it lovely? Is this how you are decorating the nursery?

Awww Danielle, those are so adorable!

I did find a Gund Peter Rabbit though. Isn't he adorable, too?

I want to put some BP prints on the wall - but do you think I can find them here? It really is hard to find BP things here
