Bondville Does One Fine Baby Sydney 2015

Saturday mornings are adventure morning for just Miss 8 and I while my youngest goes to gymnastics and my husband works out at our local YMCA. We love to catch a train together somewhere, and last weekend, we headed to Redfern to the One Fine Baby lifestyle show at Australian Technology Park. Would you like to come on a virtual tour with us?

First stop - the Dyson marquee, where we crafted up and storm threw caution to the wind and chucked glitter all over the carpet. Multiple times. Take that, glitter!

Then we caught up with our friends Anni and Matthew at the Milk & Honey Photography stand, before getting stuck into the serious business of scouting for cool kids' products to share with you.

Freddy Alphabet always draws me in with the graphic shapes and fun designs on prints, tshirts, onesies, bags, cushions and pillowcases:

Toucan had a great selection of digital prints (we took home the pink swan) and I was wowed by the sweet bed linen designs:

Incy Interiors was flawless as usual with the stunning metallic rose gold Eden bed, dressed in brand new season Goosebumps bed linen and, SackMe! pretzel and candy scatter cushions, La de dah Kids crocheted softies and oversize Kip & Co. gingerbread men cushions:

I totally fell for the mountain, cloud and house-shaped shelves from Sydney locals Willow & Wood:

We both totally loved the endangered bird (especially the parrot) illustrations at Egg Picnic. Camila is such a talented artist and she and her partner Chris are passionate about conservation. Good people doing very good things:

A lovely surprise at One Fine Baby was discovering local artisans Foolhouse who were showing a really interesting selection of nostalgic products engraved with beautiful illustrations including spoons, cards, amazing keepsake boxes, and fun door jamb height charts:

Another brand that is now hugely on my radar is Sunshine Coast-based Green Cathedral (soon to be opening up shop in Melbourne), who create the most amazing furniture; their Bailey bed was dressed for success with brand new (and hotter-than-hot) bedding label Dazed But Amazed. They have collaborated with artists to create beautiful hand-screenprinted pure linen bedding. It's a match made in heaven:

There were so many other great products to see and buy. One Fine Baby is a great event to attend to pick up the latest design-led products for kids that you might not find in stores. The petting zoo, jumping castle, colouring-in stations and performers kept the kids busy too.
