The Lizzie Shirt Autumn/Winter 2009 range is available for pre-ordering now, and absolutely scrummy it is too! As always Lizzie Shirt has designed 4 ranges: Carousel and Firebird for girls, Beano and Ramble for boys.

Lizzie Shirt childrenswear is designed and made in the UK, on the waterfront in Falmouth. The business operates from a Cornish sail-loft. The name 'Lizzie Shirt' originates from an eccentric local character who lived in the Falmouth area towards to the end of the 19th century. 'Lizzie Shirtie', a pedlar, was popular with local children, selling sweets and treats from her big basket at the town's fairs and festivals.

We expect to receive the collection in early September 2009. As always when you pre-order with us, if you pay by credit/debit card your card will not be charged unti the goods are ready for despatch (though please bear in mind that if you use Paypal the monies will leave your account immediately).

The Lizzie Shirt Autumn/Winter range is available for pre-ordering here.

We are delighted to welcome the Award Winning Sleepytot Bunny Baby Comforter to The Flower Shop.

This soft and strokeable Bunny with satin ears for extra texture is designed to adapt to baby's changing needs. He has velcro paws enabling you to attach baby's favourite things (such as dummies or a comfort blanket), ideal for when baby wakes in the night looking for his/her dummy or blanket. In fact the Millpond International Child Sleep Clinic recommend the Sleepytot Baby Comforter as a way to help older babies find their dummy in the middle of the night so your baby can go back to sleep independently without fully waking... and the whole family can sleep all night. Perfect!

As well as being so very practical the Sleepytot Bunny is bound to become a great favourite with little ones. In fact our chief baby product tester was kissing and cuddling his Sleepytot only hours after they met. But then again, he is VERY cheeky!



Presented in a gift bag with instructions, this makes an lovely new baby gift at £12.99 with free UK p&p and free gift-wrapping - we can even send it to someone else for you if you like.

Let's hope this sun sticks around, gorgeous isn't it?

So we've extended our range of BabyBanz and KidzBanz Sunglasses, now incorporating two superb new ranges. The Retro range have bigger lenses than the original Banz and look so cool on little faces! Meanwhile JBanz wrap-around sunglasses are designed for older children (4-10 years).

Plus there are new Banz Sun Hat colours available including red, green, orange stripe, fuscia floral... in two sizes from 0-2 years or 2-5 years.


If you're in a hurry for your sunglasses and sun hats because you're going on holiday next week then we'd recommend paying £4.95 for UK Special Delivery - if you get your order in by 3pm Monday-Friday your order will go to the front of the queue and you'll have it the next day.

If you're not in so much of a a rush, remember we post first class for free over £12 in the UK and we will still aim to get your order out within 2 working days of receiving it.

If you spot something you like in the Banz range and it seems to be out of stock then do ask to be notified when it's back in stock as we have Banz deliveries once or twice a week throughout the summer months.

Well look no further, we've got the Brights & Stripes in.

These knock-your-eyes-out-gorgeous rompers, blankets and pyjamas are just the thing to brighten your day. And for the footed romper fans amongst us, Brights and Stripes are just perfect!

All designed in the UK, the range washes happily at 40°C and won't fade due to the print and dye processes used. The fabric combination of 95% cotton and 5% lycra means every garment will stay in its original shape, whilst fitting perfectly and giving a bit of a stretch. As Brights & Stripes say: "We want our clothes to go on looking great into the future".

The Beatles' Yellow Submarine recently celebrated its 40 year anniversary. What better way to mark this occasion than a release of super-cool fabulously wonderful tops in lovely organic cotton?

The Beatles Yellow Submarine Collection by Organic designer Green Eyed Monster features unusual stills from the film including the main Yellow Submarine design as well as images taken from the Sea of Science section and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Green Eyed Monster have been working with Jack Stokes, the Art Director from the original The Beatles Yellow Submarine animated feature film, and the results are stunning.

As always with Green Eyed Monster designs, the range has been produced with more than a little concern for the environment using super soft organic cotton and non-toxic dye and print processes.


The Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Smock Top is embellished with 'diamonds' from the Crystalline Swarovski Elements range (bling!) which are also Öko-Tex approved.

Check out the fabulous range here.

Children's party coming up and wondering about having a theme? What better than the very wonderful Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Inspired by the children's classic by Eric Carles, this lovely range is a riot of bright colours, dots and images from the book.



You may have already seen The Very Hungry Caterpillar balloons, tablecovers, party horns, party invitations and thank you cards. Now the rest of the range has been released which includes party hats (aaah - lovely cone-shaped ones), loot bags (party bags if you prefer), paper plates, paper cups and napkins.



This is one of the loveliest party ranges we've seen. It really captures the mood of a jolly children's party and they'll love it!

Please remember that we send all parcels by first class post which often means it'll get to you the next day if you're in the UK. However please leave plenty of time as unfortunately sometimes the post takes a little longer and, if in doubt, we'd recommend you pay £4.95 for Special Delivery. We believe this is the cheapest guaranteed-by-lunchtime delivery service you'll find in the UK, plus it's less than you'd pay to send the parcel by Special Delivery yourself at the Post Office. Best of all, it puts your order to the front of the queue!

That way, if you place the order is with us by 3pm you'll have it by lunchtime the next working day thereby taking all the stress away for the party-organiser - hurrah! Well it'll take the stress away for that bit of the party arrangements anyhow...

Lizzie Shirt's gorgeous Posie Collection came earlier than expected yesterday afternoon, and very lovely it is too!

Lizzie Shirt is one of our most popular designers at Little Sunflowers, and our customers return every season to buy the latest collection knowing that we always carry the full range. Sarah Bond, owner and designer, established the Lizzie Shirt label in 1992. The business currently operates from her work premises along Falmouth's Harbour front, and the entire range is designed and produced 'in house'.

Twice a year Lizzie Shirt produces 4 gorgeous ranges - 2 for girls and 2 for boys. This season the girls' ranges are Posie (now here) and Smartie (due in the week before Easter, still available for pre-ordering).

The name 'Lizzie Shirt' originates from an eccentric local character who lived in the Falmouth area towards to the end of the 19th century. 'Lizzie Shirtie' was a pedlar who was popular with local children, selling sweets and treats from her big basket at the town's fairs and festivals.

And what a sweet treat these beauties are! Posie is a stunning floral cotton range perfect for those lazy summer days, beautiful enough for a wedding or other special occasion. How about a gorgeous bonnet as a stunning alternative to an Easter egg?
