gladness for every little one...:-)

You know how last week, we were telling you about People We Met & Instantly Knew We Wanted To Work With?

That's exactly what happened with From Babies With Love, a wonderful group of people in the UK...​
​
​We suspect you may not know about them. Today we'd like to change that. Since they've been up to A Very Big Thing since 2013:

...at From Babies with Love, we do things differently. Every penny of profit from our unique, ethically sourced designs goes to orphaned and abandoned children around the world...

It made us laugh & dance & spin around (& a certain Yoshi barked quite loudly to add to the celebration...). After our first conversation with Cecilia & Rachael, we jumped right into the studio & made a stack of stories & art, so they'd have something to work with. You can see a few teasers here of the illustrations they chose, but...

​
Here's another fun part. We gave them so many stories & artworks they couldn't use them all. (Try as we might to talk them into it. HA.)

So, on the same day From Babies With Love is releasing their Moon & Stars collection of organic babywear, we decided to release something special here at Flying Edna. In prints & cards & new Moon & Stars ornaments (which you can see below) that you can hang everywhere in your house. Yay!

Because you can never have too many stories that remind us & all of the children of the world that we're glad they're here...​
​
Drop in when you get a chance & see why we're so excited around here we almost forget to breathe...:-)...

with love, kai & fia

as long as we were on the moon & stars thing...:-)

​
Some of you don't have babies or young parents in your lives. But you do have plenty of places that are perfect for a hanging ornament...;-)

& honestly, some of you are Just Holiday Ornament People. (We know because you told us in emails. Funny how that works...)

Which is why we added five ornaments today as part of the From Babies With Love collection. Four moon & stars ornaments & one mermaid. (Because mermaids like the moon & stars as much as the rest of us...)
​
Drop in when you get a chance & see what's there...

what wants to come into your life now... a few of the ones you'll find...:-) Last week, after the first release of originals, someone asked me this: How can you let your work go so cheaply? she said. Doesn't it lessen the value of what you do?That question spun me around a bit. Because I thought it was obvious why I was doing it... But then I stopped: maybe it's obvious to me, but quite possibly Not At All Obvious To Anyone Who Is Not Me. HA. So, here's what I'd say about that: We all do it....

the unexpected gifts...:-) We run into this every year: little things we want to gift, unexpectedly... This year there's the now & then UPS backup driver, neighbors who already told us to keep an eye out for a holiday party invite & the giant St. Bernard next door who regularly exchanges barks with Yoshi... There are so many reasons to send along a card or a little something extra to people this time of year - to say thank you, we're thinking of you, or hang in there... the tricky thing is...
