Tea Party Fun And Teething Necklaces In One!

Earlier this week when I went to the Vancouvermom.ca event and was given a wonderful take home bag filled with goodies from local Vancouver Based Businesses. By far the most exciting thing in my bag was this amazing Teething Necklace from loulou Lollipop Vancouver. These are not only Stylish and Safe Silicone they are the perfect tea time and party accessory.

My niece Phoebe just started teething and we loved how quickly she took to her necklace. Mom's can wear these  necklaces too, I actually am thinking of ordering one from their Etsy Site for myself, no one needs to know that it's teething jewelry! We had a lovely little tea party and photo shoot Friday and it was so much fun to see her able to play with Thea and I.
If you have a young doll lover like my teething niece or are looking for some fun Toddler party gifts check out loulou Lollipop Etsy Shop by clicking here.

Madelon's Fun Summer Accents and A Quick Beach Cover Up For Your Dolls


Madelon has added more summertime doll play fun to her playset. She used 4 inch planters and a baby diaper shirt to create some fun items for summer.

"I found these two four inch size planters in the colors of my beach chairs and thought they could add to the fun. One is holding a towel. I may use the other to hold drinks-by adding clear beads."
They make great chair side catch-alls as well as they would work as a  dolly cooler! Love this idea. 
Infant diaper shirts in fun prints easily and inexpensively can be turned into dolly summer night gowns or beach cover ups by cutting off the bottom snap area! I love the flamingo theme that Madelon found! Look for new born to size 3-6 for best fits.
Thank you Madelon for this wonderful fun find! Keep your eyes out for items like these!
