Love hearts. My mum told me that when I was little I would always say ‘love hearts’, never just hearts. Everyone had ‘love hearts’ inside them and Grandpa died of a ‘love heart attack’ etc… And today I’ve seen love hearts everywhere! In the shop windows, including ours, in the little smiling faces of the babies and children who’ve come into visit, and last week, I saw slightly crazed love hearts, in the eyes of all the mums snapping up bargains during the sale. Ah, love.

This week my love heart is thumping for all the new stock coming through the doors. There are some seriously beautiful things in all of the ranges that has arrived so far. Ouch knitwear is going to be hot property this season, I can feel it. Our first drop of Purebaby is flying out the door already. I nearly wept over a pair of knit leggings with a customer last week, they were just too cute! Love, as always, goes to Penny Scallan rain jackets in stars, cars and apples, for making even the rainiest days just that little bit brighter. And I’ve got a huge crush on the new Walnut Desert boots. I practically fall over myself every time I see them in store.

I think I just blushed thinking about them! Oh dear. Better go and make dinner.
