Mobiles from Argington (and some new bedding)
Argington, an Eco-friendly and affordable modern baby furniture brand, has recently debuted a versatile pair of mobiles that would perfectly accessorize any modern nursery.
The Birds of a Feather and 5 Little Monkeys mobiles are made of laser cut walnut plywood and retail for $65 and $55 respectively.
Notice the new bedding above as well. There are a few new Bam Organic bedding pieces from Argington. The orange in the photos is their Plaid pattern and there are lots of other patterns that can be used to mix and match.
You can see the Birds of a Feather mobile above as well as the Nest bedding pattern. They’ve got some really beautiful options and they’re available for twin beds too!
Happy Holiday Giveaway 2012 with fawn & forest: Stroller Blanket and Boudoir Pillow from DwellStudio
My boys’ birthdays are at the end of November and the beginning of December, so while I’m focused on that, the holidays ALWAYS sneak up on me. To make sure that we are all prepared in plenty of time this year, we’re going to start this year’s holiday celebrations right now!
This year we’ve teamed up with fawn & forest, a beautifully curated online shop with modern children’s furniture accessories. Together we’ve come up with a series of four gift giveaways that will take place over the next month leading into the holidays.
Our first giveaway in the Happy Holiday Giveaway 2012 is a stroller blanket and boudoir pillow set by DwellStudio. You can choose one of their two new designs, Galaxy or Meadow. The retail value of this prize is $84 and it would make a lovely gift for a child of any age.
I previewed the new collections at ABC Kids last month and these new designs are great, unique bedding options and inspiration for a spectacular modern nursery.
Galaxy

Annette Tatum’s New Tailored Bedding Collection and Giveaway of a Moses Basket
We’ve talked about Annette Tatum before, and now I’d like to introduce you to their new Tailored collection of baby and child bedding from Little House by Annette Tatum.
While it seems that the pink and blue colors are no-brainers, the patterns are modern and super sophisticated. If you’re doing pink or blue, you can do it right with these new designs. Looking closely, you can see that there are many different shades and variations to the fabrics.
With the Rose Sea pattern, you even find a feminine mix of pink AND blue.
Take a look at their catalog to see the entire Tailored collection of nursery bedding and child’s bedding. I love that all the crib bedding patterns are available in a bumper-less version with Annette Tatum’s Perfect Fit Crib Sheet.
To celebrate the launch of their Tailored collection, Little House by Annette Tatum is offering one of our lucky readers their choice of a Moses Basket featuring fabrics from the Tailored line. A Moses basket is a simple and beautiful alternative to a bassinet, made even more beautiful with this collection of fabrics. The eight choices are pictured below, but visit the Little House page to find the name of your favorite pattern. The prize is valued at $160 and the sweepstakes is open to US residents over the age of 18. It starts right now and ends November 5th, 2012 at 12:01 am EST. There are several ways to enter via Rafflecopter below.
New Sponsor Welcome
I can’t believe that we’ve already reached October and are starting the 4th quarter of the year! Even my 6 year old just said that 2012 is going by very quickly. The final quarter of the year is very busy for me with ABC Kids Expo, Halloween, both my children’s birthdays, Thanksgiving, and the winter holidays. It’s a lot of fun, but things are going to get crazy!
To help me through this busy and exciting last quarter, I’m welcoming a new blog sponsor this month. I’m thrilled to welcome my friends at Olli & Lime to my lovely family of blog supporters. I’ve been a fan of theirs all along and it’s fulfilling when the feeling is mutual.
It’s been fun to watch as Olli & Lime have gone through some exciting transitions like moving to the US and tweaking their collections.
They have recently even added twin bedding sets for all their ranges.
I hear we may have a fourth range coming soon as well as some other really cool changes, so keep your eye out for those! I’ll share them as soon as pictures become available.
Thanks to all our advertisers for their support! If you have a product or shop that would fit on this blog, please email us about advertising opportunities- esther@buymodernbaby.com.
Etsy Find: Circus Stroller Quilt
I love this Circus Stroller Quilt from Treefall Design. I loved the orange version (shown below) even more but of course, it’s already been sold! Hurry and pick this one up for $55.
Perfect Fit Crib Sheets from Annette Tatum
I knew it was coming– more decorative crib sheets that are meant to be used without bumpers. There’s no doubt that bedding makers are rethinking their crib bedding sets in light of new safety recommendations, but parents are still looking for beautiful decorative fabric choices to dress up their cribs. That’s what Annette Tatum’s Perfect Fit crib bedding has been designed to do. You can still enjoy her soft beautiful designs while following the most current guidelines.
There are 18 options to choose from including the ones above (India Toile, Brick Whisper, Forest Orchid and Goa Sorbet). The sheets retail for $84. The coordinating crib skirts can be added for $136.
Etsy Find: Baby Blanket Sets From Organic Quilt Company
These Baby Blanket and Burp Cloth Sets from Organic Quilt Company make gorgeous baby gifts. These are a few of my favorites for $57.50.
Organic Baby Blanket and Burp Cloths Set, SOAR
Organic Baby Blanket and Set of 2 Burp Cloths, TANGERINE PEBBLE
Organic Baby Blanket and Set of 2 Burp Cloths, Baa Baa Black Sheep
Argington’s New Website and Bedding
It had been a while since Argington updated their website, so I’m happy to announce that as of today it is shiny, up to date, and better than ever. They’ve started a Healthy Living blog and included a Design Center. I’m really interested to see how their Design Center will work. It’s coming soon so we’ll still have to wait a bit to check that out.
One thing that you CAN finally get your hands on right now is the new bedding collections. Argington’s crib sets are made with 100% certified organic cotton and retail for $185. That’s a great deal for organic bedding!
All the bedding collections are also available as twin sets and with a variety of accessories.

New Rikshaw Design Crib Sets
Rikshaw Design is one of my favorite brands on buymodernbabybedding and I’m happy to share what’s new for the nursery from them this year.
First is Goa, a fresh, green, gender neutral set.
The new Taj crib set comes in blue, pink and green. It features paisley, elephant and monkey prints.
Both sets are also available in twin bedding sizes, so you can keep the same decor as your child grows. It’s also a great choice for kids who are sharing a room when one is in a crib and the other is older and using a twin bed.
