Who:Wee Blue Bell
What:A new independently owned kids interiors brand that uses eco-conscious materials
Why:
The unpacking of Wee Blue Bell’s parcels was a highlight of setting up the Junior Design Awards judging space. Beautiful boxes covered in bespoke stickers, filled with ladybird print tissue wrapped packages had us gasping from the get go. Our judges were even more excited by the fabulous contents. The range of Satisfying enamelware in punchy colour combos, perfect for kids meals and picnics and joyful bedding covered in original sketches and prints with coordinating wall art was a huge hit.
Such fun, cute bedding - love the pockets.
A refreshingly original interiors brand.
I love the thoughtful details, the patch pockets are genius for an age when bedtime procrastination is rife (plus an obsession with pockets in general!). I also love the whimsical playful design that will spark so much imagination.
What a fabulous new discovery. Bookmarked for all future gifts.
Such a beautifully thought out range full of heart and imagination. The way every item works so well together makes this a real lifestyle brand that I want to buy into.

Who:Willa and the Bear
What:Small batch ethically and sustainably produced artisan nursery essentials
Why:
Every piece from this collection was marvelled over by our judges who loved the fresh use of block print and the softest fabrics, to elevate ordinary nursery essentials into something very special indeed. The exquisitely crafted satin edged muslins featuring a delicate hand block print were cooed over as was a sweet bow motif fitted sheet with coordinating nappy caddy and a beautiful frill trimmed cushion. The panel felt this brand was tasteful, elegant, whimsical, luxurious and the perfect gifting destination for new mothers and babies.
Beautiful and sophisticated yet pretty and playful. I adore the block prints and think Willa & The Bear would upgrade any nursery or child's bedroom.
A beautifully considered collection rooted in craftsmanship, sustainability, and timeless designs.
Beautiful block printing and the softest cotton make this a super sweet, classic kids brand.
I found Willa and the Bear on Instagram and I love the prints and all the designs - really beautiful, cosy and happy.
Just beautiful. The print and trim combinations are so fresh and original. This collection makes me wish I could do the baby years all over again!
