Mopsey Designs has introduced mobiles. There are five different canvases in the series including woodland and sea themes. Each single canvas has five different items on it and comes with hardware. Each is finished separately and hung from a baby’s crib. I think later the mobile could be turned into five ornaments. The designer has eight new hatbands. one of the designs, a bright floral is also available as an ornament round or as a glasses case.
Belmead has new belts for popular vacation spots, Stone Harbor and Newport. The company also has several different water towers, in many different modern tower styles. Although these do have destinations on them, I don’t see why you couldn’t put your town’s name on the one that matches your local tower. If you live along The Main Line, you can get either a pillow or a belt with the towns on the railroad route.
