What a pair of cheeky monkeys!

We are a bit mad on monkeys here at home (as well as mice!), so when we discovered we were having a boy it seemed natural to give his nursery a monkey/jungle theme. I have been slowly picking up fun things from Etsy to decorate his room with ever since. I think my favorite little ornament has to be "monkey friends" by my sweet friend Maria from HeartshapedCreations.


My little monkeys arrived in the mail yesterday evening beautifully packaged, and although I didn't think it was possible they are even cuter than their photographs. I am amazed by all the little details that Maria put into them! If you don't already know about HeartshapedCreations then I highly recommend you visit her store, she has wall-to-wall cuteness for you to enjoy.

Here are a couple more of my favorites!

New Mouse - Carmen the Flamenco Mouse

Carmen is a flamboyant Flamenco Dancer! She is beautiful in her red dress, black mantilla, comb in her hair and little beauty spot on her chin. She is a passionate Spanish Senorita who kicks and twirls with effortless beauty!
