It’s not very often that it comes up in conversation, but I am, albeit a little tenuously, Welsh. By birthplace alone…and once in a blue moon when they happen to have a half decent result in rugby and/or football. It’s reflected in my middle name (Megan) and although I really hate leeks, I do like having the [...]

At the end of May, we ordered some gorgeous bandana bibs from the very talented Channa Mills, having spotted them on Misi. We at DaisychainBaby knew they were gorgeous and would do brilliantly but weren’t quite prepared for the overwhelming demand, and sold every last bib at the three events we attended in June. [...]

A little while ago, an Australian friend of mine who lives in the UK and is expecting her third child in July, asked if I knew where she could find large muslin wraps. Having used them in Australia where her older children were born, she was disappointed to find that all we have here [...]

In an effort to champion more items which are made in the UK, we’ve been doing a lot of research lately into finding new and affordable products for DaisychainBaby. Crafting seems to have seen a resurgence in popularity of late, and with this in mind, and some good advice from friends, we decided to [...]
