One of my first little critters I designed was Little Foxy. When I was a wee thing my Nana had a fur shrug called Foxy; how politically incorrect these days to have a real fox head, tail, legs and all around your neck! But never the less when I was a little girl it was my favorite dress up along with this beautiful white ball dress.
I have always loved the imagery of foxes; and growing up in the 70's there sure were a lot of illustrations of them around.
They conjure up a magical and adventurous world; the little fox scampering across the yard in the moonlight to get to his burrow or who knows where! They are of course a little bit naughty and cheeky but some how they are still so cute;
and from my childhood memory soft and fury.
Our Little Foxy is featured through the cocoon couture collection; first shown on our bean bags in a beautiful 1950's inspired blue and white stripe fabric with sweet red toadstools. I chose this fabric as it was reminiscent of the woodland forest the little fox would live in. Now also available in a beautiful cheeky red and white spot on a delicious Chocolate pin wale cord bean bag; you can also find Little foxy in our woodland height chart. For a limited edition Little Foxy kinder bag visit mummy's favorite site now. Stay tuned for more Little Foxy pieces in 2010.
There are some wonderful books about foxes; some of my favorites are Hello, Red Fox by Eric Carle
and who can not mention the classic Dr Seuss Fox in Socks I have also found this link to an animated video of the book...for a bit of fun.
As well as some images from my book collection to make you smile.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteFantastic bean bags I love the sleepy owl design. Have you considered doing a butterfly (?) or even including a mauve/apple green in the range for girls?

ReplyDeleteHello There,
ReplyDeleteI ordered a bean bag and height chart today and cannot wait for your beautiful designs to arrive and brighten my little boys room.
P.S. Thank you Pam for being such a delight over the phone :O)
Hi again, I got my price last week. Thank you so much. It was really nice. The boys can't wait to get it filled up. We are in the middle of remodeling our house, so as soon as we move in I will get it ready for their room.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the canvas bag too. You have some really nice products with really cute characters. Thank you again, Monica
