Bubblecakes offers a number of unique designs for baby blankets.  Whether you are seeking a vintage look, a modern print, a trendy minky fabric, or a simple swaddling blanket, there is sure to be a design to capture your imagination.

I am particularly fond of this Playful Puppies and Kitties print.  The blanket features a soft white cotton chenille on one side and an adorable vintage-inspired print of kittens and puppies on the other.  The soft blue color would ber perfect for a baby of either sex.  The blanket looks extremely cozy.

This is a one of the larger baby blankets I have seen recently, measuring a generous 30″ x 40″.  It will definitely grow with your child well into his or her toddler years and beyond.  As he or she becomes more aware of the world, the charming kitties and puppies will no doubt become treasured friends.

This great blanket retails for $40, which includes the cost of an optional monogram.  Other personalization options are also available.  You can purchase one, and check out the company’s entire fun line at bubblecakes.com.

Featured at Shop the Frontier, these funny and adorable Rag Doll Kittens are handmade by artist Linda Harvey at her home-based enterprise, Harvey’s Humbles,  located on the banks of the beautiful Methow River in the Washington North Cascades.

All Harvey’s Humbles critters are original designs, created not just to satisfy their designer’s sense of whimsy, but also using material and production methods defined with safety in mind. They are made from synthetic acrylic yarns and polyester fiberfill to minimize any possiblity of allergic reaction. Acrylic eyes and noses are on shanks inserted through the fabric and secured with lock washers. No glue is used.

Choose from Pale Grey, Seal-Point Siamese, Black Puss-in-Boots, or Watercolor characters. You can purchase one of these adorable cats for $15.50 at ShopTheFrontier.com.
