The best trees for me not only possess lush foliage, but also bear fruit, and Lime Tree Kids – www.limetreekids.com.au – is sporting a bumper crop right now! This superb new baby and kids boutique’s branches are adorned with the most beautiful array of  items for learning, playing and growing with little people. Developing the art of one-on-one play with your child is at the center of proprietor Shelley’s philosophy and this is evident in the wonderful array of products she has carefully chosen to grace the pages of her online boutique.

Gorgeous new stock just ripe for the picking include the stunning tram scroll style wall posters. We have the Family Rules Print up in our dining room and I must say, I love everything about it: the black and white, the retro bus roll feel, and most of all the sentiment found in each one of its words. I refer to it with my children, and is offers poignant reminders as I glance at during my days.

There are also some brilliant new 3D Play Rugs all the way from Turkey at Lime Tree Kids. These rugs are designed with simple role play in mind for your little tot – and I love them! I can think of nothing better than pulling out the toy farm animals, cars or dolls and snuggling down for a good old fashioned game of pretend. I can envisage hours of fun and some really sweet times to be had with the help of these designer rugs.

Your family’s ‘show time’ is bound to go to a whole new level with the help of these adorable Hand Puppets by award winning brand Fiesta Crafts in stock now at Lime Tree Kids. There are a whole range of lovely characters and they reasonably priced for such beautifully made product. My faves are the Green Dragon and the King – so cute!

I love to read and do so widely: books, newspapers and blogs all fall within my range. What I always find the most captivating are the human interest stories, and there are none better than a love story, and the story of Lime Tree Kids – www.limetreekids.com.au proprietor Shelley Mason and her family will melt your heart, as it did mine.

Shelley travelled with her husband in 2007 to collect and bring home their son from Taiwan. Shelley discovered that he really needed dedicated time spent learning to be loved  – so that is exactly what she did. Shelley spent hours researching and in turn filling their home with toys and other items that would enhance her son’s experience of self esteem, bring him joy and laughter and ultimately help forge them form a very special bond. Out of Shelley’s journey came a unique perspective on the incredible benefits of one-on-one play with children.  Her labour of love covered many and varied products and she now has a passion to share all of her finds with us through Lime Tree Kids.

Lime Tree Kids is a collection of gorgeous items for learning, playing and growing with little people. As you can see by the pictures below, many of the products in store have a funky retro feel but with all the benefits that come from being made in the 21st Century. No item at Lime Tree Kids is there by chance because Shelly has handpicked each because of its “usefulness, creativity, developmental and emotional encouragement and general fun-ness!”

Shelley is extending the pages of her love story to you, dear KidStyleFile readers, with a very special introductory offer: 20% off storewide. Enter code KSF001 to redeem your discount until midnight 1 April 2011. Share the love!

I’ve also been eyeing up the many brands represented in My Keiko’s range and I just can’t go past Nature Baby.  A kiwi brand featuring organic cotton and nature-inspired prints and colours, it’s perfect for gifting or just for stocking up your baby’s wardrobe with soft and snuggly pieces that wash and wear amazingly well.  Trust me on that one, my bambinos have had a lot of it in their time!
