Petunia Picklebottom Cake
I've been waiting for the PPB "Cake" line to come out & even though it debuted some time ago, I only noticed it the other day at a local baby store.
At first blush, it's an interesting looking bag - beautiful, in fact, when you see it on the PPB website.
When I picked up the store model, I thought it must be filled with baby items. Diapers, wipes, paci, rocks, change of clothes, LOTS OF ROCKS.
I couldn't believe how heavy it was EMPTY!
At $300+, I would hope for something lighter and actually something that looks better close-up than from afar.

I know...anyone reading this is just sick to death of all the crib talk here! But what can I say? I'm obsessed right now.
I HAVE decided that I want to do a Filipino theme. So depending on sex, it will be either a dark, orangey-pink painted room or a tea green. The other walls would be a light mocha color.
Little abaca butterflies should be arriving shortly.
Bedding - probably cream sheets with "colorful" accents that will fit with the overall scheme.
Romina Nerva - $1100 (+ $300 drop ship) - $1400!!!!
34.25w" x 63l" x 48"
PROS: Gorgeous, solid alder, made in Europe
CONS: PRICE!!!! Not sold/distributed in SoCal!
I love, love, love this crib but I fear DH would disown me if I so much as touched this crip!
It's a toss-up between the next two cribs:
Chanderic Cierra - $402.50 (sale from $460)
33w x 55.5l x 48.5h
PROS: Love the turned spindles, simple
CONS: Haven't found one in my town yet; matching dress is quite ugly
Bonavita Heritage - $489
33.5”w x 58.5”l x 47”h
PROS: Beautiful, very antique-looking, converts to toddler/day bed
CONS: Hard pressed to find a negataive.
$399 (sale from beyondbedding.com)
42" inside
44" outside
76" height
PROS - unique shape, turned swindles,
CONS - have to have custom bedding made all the time, accessories expensive, don't know where to see one in person.
As I look at the measurents, the diameter/width of the round crib is actually 44" as opposed to Nerva's 34.25", Cierra's 33" and Heritage's 33.5.
Doesn't look like a buy any room depth-wise with the round crib except that it's also only 44" across whereas the others range from 55"-63".
Hmmm...thinking to do!
Right now, the only one that I can actually see is the Heritage, I think.
The Cierra is not readily available here, the Nerva is not even in this state & not sure where to find the round.
The Heritage does look the most antiquey which would follow the idea I have of having an Old Spanish nursery with lace curtains (already in the room) and bedding made with some jusi fabric I already have.
We shall see!
