Store of the Day: Fire and Creme

My French friend Ambre always knows all the cutest kids sites and stores, so when she told me that her friend Peggy North had just opened a great new kids store on Lincoln in Venice, I ran! Peggy, also a beautiful Parisian, now lives in Venice with her husband and two stunning sons, and has created a gem for all stylish mothers. Fire and Creme is a little slice of heaven located a block from General Store. In it, she carries all things chic for our little ones – from the most insane costumes for dress up, to adorable baskets that she personalizes herself, to amazing customized cow skulls and irresistable toys and décor.

Besides all of the great finds, what makes her shop really stand apart are her “Party Boxes,” a natural extension of her in-demand event planning company. She has created these incredible customized themed boxes for an array of kids parties, giving parents all the décor and party favors they might need to make the perfect celebration. Also included, a beautiful lookbook that spotlights each party theme and shows you how to put it all together.

And if you really want to take it to the next level, you can work with her trusted vendors for food and entertainment tailored to each theme, or even rent or buy props and furniture, including lighting, tepees, and tents for the day of your event.

I have seen customized party boxes and kits on Etsy and Acme, but never so beautifully imagined. Peggy’s eye and sourcing are amazing, and any child would be lucky to have such a chic soiree. Her themes thus far include Gone Surfing, Into the West, The Zoro Adventure and my favorites, Cowboy Wanted, Here Comes the Circus, and Little Fairies in the Woods. Stay tuned to see individual posts on each of these themes…much too much amazing stuff to include in just one post! XXJKE
