All sets come in recycled hard paper boxes, for safe keeping, and are made by hand in Nepal under Fair Trade conditions. So really, it's Fair Trade food! Hooray!!

Gone a little bit girly....

Papoose have some great girlie accessories - all hand felted and really cute too!
The brooches are big and bold - for the older girls and mummies.
The hair ties and clips can mix and match with any outfit and the chunky bangles come plain or with flowers on them.

Type 'felt freebie' in the comments box at checkout when you buy any 2 Papoose items and I'll throw in a felt freebie with your order! (offer ends 2nd Nov.)

Who's King of the castle now??

Me! Me!
It's a great day when the boys can play with crowns too!
Be a King, a Knight, a Prince, a Superhero........ we've got felted crowns (4 types) for the boys. They are strong and tie up at the back - so will fit lots of different head sizes.... yep, even daddies can play too!

Of course the girls have not been forgotten.... as if!
There are 4 different crowns for them too. Be a Fairy, Princess, Queen, a Fairy Princess..... you know the story.


Check them out in the new 'dress ups' section at bpab . Only $13.95 each.... cheap enough for the Christmas stocking! And Fair Trade made too.
