    Good points, I got all nervous there! Yeah I had forgotten that Owl and Thistle has some (very cute) baby clothes. I will need to check out that store on Washington ave!

    The pharmacy a little ways up on Franklin and St Marks has a variety of Melissa and Doug toys and puzzles.  Their selection is better than you might assume.  A recent neighborhood quest for good bubbles resulted in better ones from the pharmacy than Stork.

    Thanks. I will check that out as well. I didn't know about Blueberry kIds either.

    I remember there used to be a second hand kids clothing store on Vanderbilt . Nice brands. Beautifully presented, ok priced. Unfortunately they closed last year or so.

    You can do all of your baby shower shopping here in a few weeks:



    First came love on OKCupid, then came an indie marriage. Now comes a hipster baby expo.

    Handmade toys, French lessons for newborns, and local and artisanal food will be sold at the first-ever Rattled Brooklyn, happening Aug. 24 at The Warsaw in Greenpoint.

    The event is geared towards style-conscious, free-spirited parents who wouldn’t be caught dead in Babies ‘R Us.

    “These people love locally-made and handmade goods. They’re not into mainstream products and services,” says Rattled Brooklyn co-founder Tara Arjona.

    Sounds unlikely to be sponsored by Kraft or McDonalds. Totally different market.

    They happen more as you go west.

    They reach an apex on the Upper west Side, then they decline again as you continue west.

    Soon, one will no longer be able to buy baby stuff at Boing Boing in Park Slope: They are closing too.

    Uh, didn't think she'd close it after all the publicity from her article about being under the wheels of $1,000 strollers (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/karen-paperno/hiding-in-plain-sight_b_4490436.html). I also wonder what will happen to her family. I know he's had serious health problems.

    Davina, French lessons for newborns still makes more sense than DJ lessons for newborns/babies.

    This song was written a while ago about some Park Slope moms. It now works for some Prospect Heights and western Crown Heights moms as well.

    Enjoy. Listen to the words...

    Sorry to see them go, they did occasionally have good sales on shoes. 

    But no need to go to Park Slope. Pipsqueak Children's Shoppe in Bed-Stuy is great. In my opinion, it's the best kids shop in the area. 

    You really can't beat not one but two Thomas the train table/sets in a store. http://www.pipsqueakshoppe.com
