In less than two weeks my baby girl will be celebrating her first birthday.  In the midst of all those “how did my baby grow up so fast?” moments, I am planning a small but joyful little celebration fit for an energetic, cuddly, and all around amazing little girl.  Yes, I am admittedly biased, but I think that is my prerogative as her mother!  I have a plan for a couple of gifts (handmade, of course!), and intend to bake a delicious cake that I will hopefully manage to transform into a monkey.  But, as this is my first attempt at planning a birthday party for my very. own. child (eek!) there are many details that I haven’t ironed out quite yet.  One of those would be a topper for my hopefully magnificent monkey cake.  So off to the internet I went, and boy, did I hit the jackpot!  Lesley Wellington Cake Toppers (aka: The Cat’s Pajamas), are unique, fun, and super-cute.  Just right for any happy celebration you can possibly imagine.

Lesley also has fabulous ornaments that will capture your heart and personality.  I know it’s a little early for holiday shopping (ok, a LOT early – our 2010 tree is still in our living room), but why not do it now while the holidays are fresh on your mind, and the storage boxes are still easy to reach!

Lesley sculpts her little creations from polymer clay at her home in Hamilton, Ontario.  She also welcomes custom work, just let her know what you are looking for, and she can make it happen!

You can learn more about Lesley on her website (it includes fun pictures and a blog), on facebook, or visit the Cat’s Pajamas Etsy shop to see the whole selection of toppers and ornaments.

Here’s to celebrations all year round!
