It’s our favorite time of year again, the gift-giving season! And it has now become a tradition to offer you guys free holiday gift-wrapping downloads! Hope you’ll love this year’s collection designed by our talented friend & collaborator, Marie-France.
I love them so much I can’t really decide on my favorite! You can download all the designs over here! We made them 11″x17” so you can print them out on larger paper if you’d like.
Hope you‘ll have fun with it! Wrapping gifts is the best, isn’t it? Show us the gifts you’ve wrapped up with our Baba papers, we’d love to see! Tag us via Instagram.
I think this one is my fave gift-wrapping from this year’s collection!
We went a little wild this year with our holiday décor, this tinsel mint tree reminds me of the 90’s! We thought it deserved some pompoms. Cute vibe right? Thanks to or collaborator Camille for this fun styling!
These pompom baskets, handmade in Marrakech, are one of my favorite treasures in the entire shop. I just think they are amazingly cute and I might also have an issue with pompoms. Hope you guys have the same addiction. Anyways, we thought we’d show you how much fun they could add to you decor. So here are 3 different ways to use them in your decor.
They just make the coolest planters ever. Add a little bohemian fun to your home and turn your pompom basket into a planter. I really love the look with this big plant called a Strelitzia Nicolai.
This smaller basket with pompoms makes the perfect cactus planter. How cool is this cactus by the way? It’s so photogenic, I love it.
Our pompom basket also makes the cutest toy bin for your nursery. If you have a little munchkin, you know a toy bin is a must. (so many toys on the floor all the time) It might as well have pompoms.
Tadam! The floor is tidy again!
This is a little sneak peek of my pink desk at the Baba loft. The bigger basket also makes a fun paper bin! Well, I would put pompoms everywhere if I could 😉 -Stephanie
We made some henna pumpkins! We’ve joined forces with the more than talented illustrator, Farah Allegue, to create these boho Halloween pumpkins inspired by henna patterns. Farah has apparently been making this kind of flourishing pattern forever, and I really believe it as I saw her draw live without even tracing the henna patterns on the pumpkins!
I’m still wondering how she manages to make everything so symmetrical. I guess practice makes perfect! Anyhow, don’t worry, you don’t have to be as good as her, we’ve got you covered! We have a little template with henna motifs you can download and print out. Click here to download it. You can use it as inspiration to decorate your own pumpkins or you can even use it as a stencil. How gorgeous would this set up look as a table center piece for a boho Halloween party! (Thanks to my friend Camille for the wonderful picture styling.)
Also, aren’t these white pumpkins cool? I think they are my fave. In any case, they are perfect for drawing on! You can find them at any farmer’s market these days.
Ps: A little picture behind the scenes of Farah drawing her free hand henna motifs! Apparently, the best pen to draw these motifs on your pumpkin is a paint pen (she used a Posca pen if you’d like to try it out.)
We’d love to see your boho pumpkins! Tag us via Instagram so we can have a look 🙂 Have fun! -Stephanie
Montreal is magical in the fall. The entire city is morphing into a cozy, beautiful, colorful landscape. I have to admit after the crazy hot summer we had, I was craving chunky sweaters and rolling up in a blanket with chai latte and a book. My collaborator, Camille, and I thought the was perfect timing to put together a boho bedroom with some cozy vibes.
Our pompom blankets are the perfect item to add to your bed at this time of year. It can totally change the entire look of your bed. The pink striped one is my personal fave (of course).
We love this rattan chair! (a vintage find that Camille snapped up) and our most popular pouf in a beautiful shade of tan leather (it is actually paler than what it looks like on this picture, check the product picture here for the actual color). You can also add a beautiful wall hanging on your wall, it makes a beautiful artsy-cozy addition.
This eucalyptus wall hanging is a little DIY project Camille made for our friend, Isabelle, founder of the Si Simple jewellery brand. It’s surprisingly easy to make, all you need is a beautiful branch of drift wood, cotton cord and dried eucalyptus. And it smells so good! I really want to make one for my bathroom.
Hope this gives you a few ideas to cozy-up your bedroom for fall. –Stephanie
We’ve been having a bit of a new age moment at the Baba loft lately and we thought we’d share our latest obsession. My friend and collaborator Camille is really into stones and their healing powers. At first, I thought she was a bit “woo-woo” but it turns out, after hearing about it so many times, I’m now really into it too! I’ve been gathering a little collection of semi precious gemstones for our jewellery section and I feel they are so pretty and special. And if they can help us feel more grounded, I say hell, yeah!
We’ve rounded up our favorite gemstones into a mini guide and looked around in books and on the Internet for a bit of info on the properties of each gemstone. Fun fact: apparently, when we choose a gemstone for ourselves, our intuition guides us to pick the stone that will help us the most. Try it. Let your intuition pick the rock you prefer in the mini guide below and then read its short description below. Does it match your needs? (I’m always drawn to rose quartz, I guess I need a bit of peace and calm, ha!)
Calligraphy by my talented friend Emeline Villedary. (Thanks Em, your handwriting is oh so very pretty.)
The ritual: Ok, this part is absolutely optional but Camille says we need to purify our rocks once in a while so they can heal us better. It’s an energy cleanse! You can do this by burning sage or Palo Santo (Obsessed with that smell too). I must admit it’s a bit woo-woo for me. BUT, the smell is so nice and calming, so why not?
