Little Darlings

I have just ordered some prints online for our baby's nursery. I'm not into cutesy themes or pastels at all, particularly for nurseries, so have been searching for something appropriate to spice up the room in a modern way.

Enter the Little Darlings range of prints. I can't remember where I first saw these, but they're from US photographer Sharon Montrose, who specialises in modern animal photography. I love her clean, crisp style and I'm sure the prints will work nicely as our child grows. I can't decide which little face I love the most! After much umming and aahing, I finally settled on six: the lamb, giraffe, duckling, kangaroo, lion and bear.

And I really love how it weaves in links to both our native countries: a kangaroo for my Australian roots and a lion for my husband's South African birthplace. If only she had a baby panda to represent China!

Now, I just hope they arrive in time and don't get held up at Chinese customs...
