Ever since Annie and I laid eyes on the knit pieces by Fournier, we've been oohing and ahhing over them... and for good reason! Anabel Fournier's collections are luxurious and the designs are so chic and fun.

My daughter Sydney was given Andoni on her birthday (and was super ecstatic to unwrap him!!). In the days following, we've all fallen in love with this finely knit gentleman . His daily uses are many: decor pillow, travel friend, shopping assistant, and reading partner. What's really striking about Andoni, and all Fournier products, is the incredibly soft, silky feel of the alpaca wool. I've learned that alpaca wool has a reduced tendency to pill, so wear is reduced and our Andoni shouldn't loose his shape over time (barring the overeating of Pintxo!).

The entire Fournier collection is crafted of the finest baby alpaca wool, organic cotton, and pima cotton (grown in Peru) - resulting in a luxuriously soft texture in every knit piece. We love that Anabel Fournier founded her company as a poverty alleviation project in Bolivia. The result is an exquisite, eco-friendly product that will draw attention in any room. 

We are so pleased to carry a brand with such a great ethic and products. You can find Fournier pillows in our Accessories section and Fournier soft animal toys in Animals & Dolls.

Hello! My name is Kelly Fondots, I have a wonderful and supportive husband named Anthony, and together we are raising our three amazing children- Greysen (5), Sebastian (3), and Ivy Scout (8.5 months) in San Diego, CA. We believe in spontaneous trips, park picnics, and the importance of family meals together every Sunday.

I was born here in San Diego, CA and my children are fifth generation "locals." I had Grey at a young age, and I dove into motherhood with the idea that we both needed each other very strongly. I wanted to do what was best for the new tiny person person in my life, which for me, meant nursing, wooden/bpa-free toys (which in 2008 were not as popular as they are now), co-sleeping, and baby-led weaning, etc.

I felt a sense of peace with myself at the path I had chosen, and knew instantly that motherhood was what I was meant to do-- it was effortless and felt so natural. I have a fullness in my heart that is a bit overwhelming at times-- in the best way possible. Our family love is raw and true, blessed beyond measure. My confidence lies within my children, but has also grown as we all grow with each other. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I was so excited when Kari and Annie asked me to be a Brimful brand enthusiast for their shop! I had ordered Ivy a few Christmas gifts last year and was so appreciative of their customer service, and equally as happy with their well-curated, eco-friendly shop. They are both stylish and whole people that I knew instantly that their shop wouldn't disappoint. 

A few items I am loving from Brimful:

Cozy Mouse Teether - Ivy has used this teether since she was three months old and it’s still a constant favorite around here. Bonus is the rattle inside and softness!

Wooden Baby Maracas - We love music in this household and think these maracas would be a super added bonus to the three piece band we already have going on. 

Wooden Ring Stacker - All three kids are using this item. I love that it is all wood, and that Ivy can’t choke on the rings. Grey is teaching Seb how to count, and Seb is teaching Ivy how to sort. It’s great!

Juliette Rabbit - We love stuffies and you can never go wrong with organic fleece. 

Melamine spoons - These melamine spoons we are using are so cute and the colors are great.

Mama and Baby! - We love this book! The pages are baby-proof, meaning Ivy can “read” without a sibling worrying about her tearing the pages.

The Swing - This is also a current favorite, with such beautiful the illustrations...it's a second teether for Ivy :).
