This bustling shop stocks a mixture of whimsical items and sweet clothing (think tiny knit caps, posters and wall hangings). The simple toys—a wooden duck with red wheels can be pulled by a string—evoke the olden days. Egg Baby, a line of stylish soft stuff, is equally adorable: blankets and layette gowns are adorned with tiny egg or heart prints, as are the jersey separates. The pastel clothing from local line Lino will make parents yearn for their own childhood. Play bibs are wipeable and supersized—a great way to keep baby’s smart new clothes clean.
