mother stork's baby book {good taste}



in what almost seems like a lifetime ago, i had a precious little retail business called, petit luxe. i specialized in luxury + lifestyle essentials for women + newborns through four years.  i am often asked for recommendations for the perfect baby shower gift + i always point toward one of my most coveted petit luxe items, the "mother stork's baby book". truth be told, i discovered this book years before i conceived of petit luxe or my first child.  i fell in love with this timelessly classic book + knew in an instant that this was the book in which i would archive my babies' special moments + memories.

i was pleasantly surprised to learn of the family history behind kistner supply, the family owned publisher of this prized baby book, + could not have been happier to make a new friend in the owner, elizabeth brantley. 

mother stork's baby book is comprised of archival quality paper, timeless stories by such writers as robert louis stevenson + ink drawings reminiscent of a time gone by- all of which make this an heirloom quality book + my go to gift for new mothers.

petit luxe {revisiting an old life}



my present life has inspired me to revisit an old one, the one that revolved around the baby and children's fashion world and everything that is fun and fabulous about dressing and pampering your little miss or mister.

it seems many moons ago now, but when i was pregnant with my son i founded a luxury children's retail business, petit luxe.  my collection was thoughtful and edited, consisting of luxury and lifestyle essentials for newborn through four year...and i loved and obsessed over every piece that i carried! my mission with petit luxe was to stay true to my own aesthetic and to only carry lines and products that i used and would dress my own children in, and believe me, there was a lot of dress up at my in those days! 

as a significant part of my napa valley life is to share my obsessions, i have decided to add a new section, bon bébé, that highlights this other world of mine that i love.  it will consist of a listing of the designers and products that i love and carried for petit luxe, where you can buy them now, along with other discoveries that i've made along the way.

below is just a glimpse of what i have to share.

i hope that you enjoy! xx
