we thought this week we could have a bit of fun! so for those who are pregnant and for those who would like to recall the experience the internet is a mine field of crazy and interesting information in this area.  some of which is not so great and others just pure fun!

here are just a few of some great and useful websites

having kids over 35?? check out mothers over 35+   or mothers over 40

havings twins….. this is a great site even if you want to buy a present for somebody having twins….check out think twins 

last but not least the one that causes many a dispute within the household - yes - that new baby’s name… well to add fuel to the fire check out the top 100 babies names - you will be surprised!

enjoy…. regards tam!

we love our new artwork!  simply adorable pieces from the gelati art collection. 

whoever said artwork completes a room like icing on a cake was certainly onto something…

all gelati art pieces especially the scrumptious cupcake or the red racer will definitely be the ‘piece de resistance’ in any little girls or mans room

the cupcake has been lovingly adorned with sparkly beads that look like real hundreds-and-thousands and it features the prettiest satin ribbon border

combine it with our sweet tea party set for a room that’s too sweet for words. 

most pieces in the gelati art collection retail at $120.00 which is great value to decorate your child’s wall with an adorable and stylish piece of artwork.

so where does this wonderful new childrens interior design product come from you ask….  vanessa o’sullivan is the marvelous creator and following a successful career in marketing it was the simple task of decorating her daughters first room which catapulted vanessa nto the creative realm of designer wall décor for childrens rooms with her new company gelati art.    vanessa saw a gap in the market as it was easy to source beautiful furniture, and bed linen  but could not find anything special in the market to put on both of her daughter’s and son’s wall. 

gelati art canvases range in size from large 60cm x 60cm statement pieces to smaller coordinating sets comprising three complementing 25cm x 25cm artworks.   the artwork has been designed in collections so decorators can purchase a single large piece to hang above a bed and also a co-ordinating smaller set for a more complete look. 

gelati art uses quality materials including 100% cotton canvas that is coated with uv varnish and ultra chrome pigment ink.   canvases are stretched over an mdf frame and come ready to hang with their own hook.    stay tuned as kounia-bella makes the full gelati art collection available!  in the meantime please contact us if you would like further information or to make a purchase at info@kouniabella.com.au   

this month we focus on our favourite brand eeni meeni miini moh.  why is it our favourite?? in one sentence (we will try to do this in one sentence), it is adorable, stylish, very comfortable, of premium quality (lifecycle is very high – eg can be handed down for years and still looks and feels great), washes extremely well, you always get new surprises season on season with new styles and accessories and it looks just great on for both boys and girls.

who is eeni meeni miini moh

elizabeth o’connor-cowley is the designer of eeni meeni miini moh which was founded in 2002.  elizabeth was inspired following a trip to europe in 1999, from there two years passed and eeni meeni miini moh was launched and has rapidly established itself as a leading australian & international children’s brand.

eeni meeni is invited each year to attend the prestigous italian trade fair pitti immagine bimbo- above picture displays their last exhibit.

how do eeni meeni miini moh describe what the company is about?

eeni meeni miini moh is an innovative children’s lifestyle brand committed to creating contemporary, yet timeless products for today’s urban child.  through the fusion of a distinct palette, figurative drawings and the comfort of natural fibres, eeni meeni miini moh creates unique products.  designed for children aged from newborn to 12 years, eeni exhibits characteristics of practicality and premium quality.

the fabrics of course being quality cottons, wools and linens are all milled to eeni meeni miini moh specifications.  the fibres have been chosen due to their natural characteristics of breathability, softness, absorbency and durability, also assisting in the avoideance of allergies and asthma.

over the past few months it is a lovely compliment to see australian famous icons and mums such as naomi watts and cate’s blanchett’s children wearing eeni meeni miini moh.

with the quality fabrics and unique designs l’m sure it would not surprise you to know that eeni have won two awards for NRA Australian fashion design awards for kids & innovation categories.

we here at kounia-bella love our eeni collections year in year out, we would hope that having given you some background into a fantastic australian company that you will start your eeni meeni collection soon.  like many of us discovering eeni soon find out how lovely their range is - our kids look absolutely gorgeous wearing eeni meeni miini moh creations and feel absolutely comfortable.

p.s  secret eeni meeni miini moh business:- we heard on the grapevine that there will be a fantastic toy collection coming out in time for christmas.  a toy for all ages, and they will no doubt be as creative, individual and fun as the current fashion.
