    Throughout February we have been focussing on our very girly Looby Lou range so I thought it was time to steer you towards something a little different. Pick and Mix is another of our exclusive collections which has many similarities to Looby Lou yet is suitable for boys as well.   This collection, like the others, brings together the core elements of Little Lucy Willow. Beautifully designed and carefully crafted furniture of the highest quality.   The selection of Pick and Mix beds incorporates both cute and sophisticated designs, suitable for toddlers..

If your little girl is about to move out of her cot bed and into the big wide world, perhaps you need to look at our Looby Lou exclusive collection. For a first big girl’s bedroom, it ticks all the boxes. We can never emphasise the quality of Little Lucy Willow furniture quite enough, but a quick glance at Looby Lou always brings the message home. Looby Lou Bed in Ballerina Pink   The bed’s unique adjustable height feature is perfect for toddlers, as is the option to add your child’s name, topped with a crown if you so wish. And as she grows, you could always creat..

So, for all you mums out there, married, bored and hoping to be swept off your feet this Valentine’s Day…Here’s an ode to you.   Valentine’s Day is a funny old time, We get flowers and cards with a cheap tacky rhyme. It should be romantic, it should be the best! But I just can’t get frisky when I see that string vest.   I decide that our love needs a kick up the bum So I think about what we could do for some fun, I write a long list, I re-do my hair, Then hope that his Lordship will notice, or care!   “Let’s go on a date! Let’s have a nice meal...

  Whenever a little girl comes into our showroom at Heskin, she never fails to drag her mummy over to the Looby Lou bedroom collection. It is rather like a magnet to the wide eyes and innocence of girly girls who love to be surrounded by hearts, dolls and lots of pretty things.   It is also a magnet to my eyes each morning I might add. It’s lovely to come into work and see lots of nice tidy beds with beautiful quilts and dolls all laid out perfectly – unlike the chaos I’ve just left behind at home!   Maybe the attraction of the Looby Lou furniture also lies in its ‘make..

For the month of February at Little Lucy Willow, it’s all about love!   Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, when hopefully, we will all get something to acknowledge our existence, even if we do have to buy it ourselves! Half term is upon us too so we can shower our little ones with love (when we’re not grumbling at them that is). And Fifty Shades of Grey is released at cinemas across the land however I think this may be less about love than, well…let’s leave that one alone for now eh?   So, to celebrate this happy theme we have a new Valentine’s Day gifts ..

It’s that time of year when we must reinforce our letter boxes and dust off all those hand-me-down vases currently stashed in the attic. We must take the day off work, clear all windowsills and employ a small team of helpers to deal with the onslaught of cards, balloons and flowers which will transform our homes into something more like a hospital ward…That’s right, it’s almost Valentine’s Day! In truth, I have never, in all my life, been ‘inundated’ with Valentine’s Day cards. In my heyday at school, I think the most I got in one year was, erm, one. It was a rather large, padded fell..

  Can you believe we have completed one twelfth of the year already? Box ticked, done and dusted. It’s been a long month though eh? It’s amazing how time can drag on when you’re not drinking alcohol, eating chocolate, cakes or biscuits and squeezing yourself into compression pants for tedious sessions at the gym…good job I haven’t been doing any of that then he he. No, My January has been long, but quite alright thank you very much. Bumbling along nicely, revelling in the normality of life, that sort of thing. In fact, it’s at times like this when my general contentment peak..

January is nearly over and hopefully our collective blues will soon be gone along with it! Talking of which, I’ve never understood why we named these unwelcome feelings after such a beautiful colour. If you ask me, they should have been called ‘the browns’ or ‘the mauves’, or better still ‘the fawns’! Here at Little Lucy Willow we have been enveloped in the pretty shade of seaside blue from our beds to our drawers thanks to the Barney and Boo exclusive collection, which is currently on offer. And we couldn’t be happier for it. In fact, I would recommend it to anyone! Am I selling this..

There are times in our lives when we start to question how we got to where we are today. Was it because we passed our geography exam at school? Was it because our mums and dads taught us how to use our cutlery correctly? Or was it because we decided, at the very last minute, to go out on that rainy Saturday night – despite our bad hair – and bump into our soul mate?   I suspect it’s all three and a lot more besides. I often get to thinking about these matters, especially in the midst of a bleak January morning when there’s nothing on the horizon but the same old same old...

Everyone needs storage, whether you’re a minimalist maniac or not. We’ve all got keys, paperwork and general paraphernalia we don’t quite know what to do with. The kind of stuff we don’t really want to keep but annoyingly, feel like we have to as it might be useful one day…So despite everything, we grudgingly stuff all those leaflets from school, along with the instructions to the microwave, into a drawer, or in the magazine rack or behind the utensil jar in the kitchen. And then we forget about them… It’s much the same with my children. At one time, there were brand new toys i..

  1. We love a bit of country music here at Little Lucy Willow and are listening to Laura Cantrell in our office this week. “Two seconds of your time…is all I need of you…” Love it. 2. Which leads me nicely to number two…I once sang in a band and my stage name was Louisiana Lou. Make of that what you will! 3. Our very own little Lucy Willow, after whom the company is named, is also a talented singer (‘extremely’ as opposed to my ‘arguably’) who narrowly missed out on winning the title role of Matilda in the West End production. She made it to the last six… 4. Heskin Hall..

When choosing a bed for your child, I’m guessing you might have a tick list. Perhaps it includes things like comfort, style, size and longevity. Basically, you’re looking for a bed that your child will love climbing into each night and will stay there tucked up until morning (with any luck!). You’re looking for a bed that will last many years but will still look as good when your child is leaving home as the day you bought it… When finding furniture for our own daughter, we had the same few things in mind. In the end we decided to start our own children’s range which ticked all..

The grindstone is rolling again. Sigh. We have climbed aboard the good ship 2015, our keel is almost even and I am no longer feeling as bad. It’s nice to have the house looking a bit tidy again, although the sentimental fool in me doesn’t half get sad when the last bauble is removed from the tree and put away for another 12 months. I can almost hear the Muppets Christmas Carol in my head as I’m packing the decorations away, recalling the laughter we had as we got them out. Of course my selective memory conveniently excludes the arguments about who puts the fairy on top – plus my sweati..
