Cover your kitchen in gardens of flora with this nature-themed dishware
I spied an Amazon-exclusive dishware line by Seattle-based Carolina Silva, called Dorotea, and fell into a fantasy of rose tea and scone-filled mornings in my sunlit kitchen. But it can actually be that adorable in your house! All of the floral and nature-themed dishware patterns are hand-drawn, and the colors are a muted and gorgeous throwback to pastels from the ’70s and ’80s — but with way more subtlety.
Make breastfeeding punk again with these bad-ass nursing shirts
When it comes to breastfeeding-friendly fashion, you’re probably feeling a wee bit limited right about now.

These thrifted tees are upcycled with zippers to allow access for your up-and-coming punk babies.
These literary purses are actual BOOK bags for bibliophiles
I stumbled upon these literary purses and instantly wanted ALL OF THEM. Carry around my Harry Potters in a Harry Potter book bag? Hell yes I will. Etsy seller Krukru Studio Books has tons to choose from, too. Think Anna Karenina, the works of Jane Austen, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, and so many more.
We solemnly swear you will LOVE this Harry Potter pregnancy announcement
If you’re adding a new wizard to the family, this Harry Potter pregnancy announcement will make you cry, “Merlin’s most baggy Y-fronts!” The announcement says, “I solemnly swear we were up to no good” and has the pitter patter of tiny feet on a Marauder’s Map.
My geektastic heart can’t take the magical cuteness/dirty innuendo of this baby announcement.
