Beansprout Pillows....Coming Soon!


Since Hailey, my cherubic niece, was born, my sister and I are inspired by these beansprout pillows for babes.  What are they?  Simple.  They are pillows filled with bean sprout husks used for newborn babies/infants. This method of making pillow has been over a century, as far as our great grand parents can remember. These bean sprout husks are the "shell" (kernel) from the bean sprout we bought for our cooking. With proper handling and sorting, they are recycled for better usage.

Newborn babies/infants are prone to be shocked or frightened by sudden movement and noise caused in their surrounding. 

By placing the bean sprout pillow horizontally over the infant/baby’s tummy when they are asleep, they will have a sense of security and comfort. This pillow will serve to calm the newborn babies/infants. As the bean sprout husks are porous and light weighted, they are safe for use on newborn babies/infants.


They will come in various sizes, but the standard size we are doing at the moment is 45 cm x 15 cm and filled with 220g of kernels.







Back To Me....

The last week has been a sewing frenzy for me trying to finish up our Buttons & Bows July release.  They are almost done now, just adding up the little fabric florets on some of the clothes.  Got myself some leftover fabric from the line, so I decided to reward myself with a dress...inspired by that cute lady I saw at Kat and Kym's birthday brunch @ Fullerton -Town a few weeks ago!  I'm happy with the way it turned out.  Here it is...

Strike A Pose!

This is what happens when a 2-year old meets new clothes (handmade by Omi and from Buttons & Bows) and a camera!

One Harvest At A Time...

Buttons & Bows sales is doing very well at The Nest Shop and I'm thrilled!  We have just delivered new designs and they are just another reason why I love doing what I'm passionate about: baby clothes with a dash of chic and a whole lot of comfy factor!



Buttons & Bows at The Nest Shop 

I am looking to add a line for girls aged 4-6 years old as I'm faced with more demands for this age group from my friends.  My concept for this line will be similar to Buttons & Bows: Chic and comfy.  I am keen to incorporate a design where these toddlers can wear what we adults wear in a mini-me version!  Look out for it!
