Planting New Seeds During the Summer

Can you believe that Spring is behind us and that Summer is here?  Next, we have temperatures perfect for taking a walk and exploring nature.  If you have a backyard or a community garden nearby, venture out.  Click here to find the community garden closest to you in NYC, click here.   If you do not, planting indoors in pots are also a great way to garden.  Indoor gardening is lots of fun, great for your space, and can be done all year round. This may also be the time to develop a quarantine hobby and plant a garden of your own.   Not only is gardening peaceful but a socially distant hobby.  As Coronavirus restrictions are lifting, we will embrace a new “norm”.  Take a moment to see beautiful Summer flowers peep their little petals out as well. 

As you plant new seeds over the Summer, we send some inspiration with our Alberta Wristlet in our Nor Collection. Our new wristlet is small enough to fit your Summer essentials.  This is a new item in the Nor Collection this Summer and introduced in Wildflower,  a beautiful blend of colors reflecting Summer flowers.  Salvia, the flower from the calming sage plant, comes in a deeper navy blue color next, the beautiful hydrangea flower in a lighter blue; Marigolds with its shades of red and yellow and finally Bougainvillea are usually bright pink.  Carrying this wristlet around will inspire you to add some color to your garden.

Shop our Alberta Wristlet on Mon Petit Coeur  Ties that Bind, belts in floral or a heart accent.  Select from our Chloe with the heart accent or Zoe with the floral accent, matching belts to complete your Summer ensemble below:

Let’s celebrate dads this Father’s Day. 25% off all purchases use Coupon Code BESTDAD.

So many ways to announce that you are going to be a dad!

Confirming pregnancy can be met with mixed feelings to a mom, were you filled with expectation and joy.   Sharing with dad to be can be equally exciting. 

Fathers today are becoming more involved in the lives of their families.  Due to social distancing resulting from the COVID-19, many dads are spending more time at home and getting to know their children since everyone is working and attending school at home.  I presume that families are preparing meals together, taking walks in the park, watching a movie or simply playing a game.

It is safe to say that we will see an increase in births later this year due to the COVID-19.  Sharing with that dad-to-be that a baby is on the way can be fun and exciting.  If you are expecting this Father’s Day and want to announce that a “bun in the oven”, we want to share a few favorites that could make the event very special.  Consider the following:

  • Give a gender neutral gift so the dad-to-be can guess
  • Dad-to-be is a sports enthusiast, gift a baby jersey from his favorite team
  • If he loves to travel, consider sharing where you wish to vacation in 2021 as a great kid friendly destination
  • Plan a Zoom meeting to simply catch up with family and friends and have cupcakes with a baby theme
  • Miss the round of promotion at work last year, someone is getting promoted to dada later this year
  • Fourth of July is right around the corner, fireworks are certainly a way to celebrate with the dad-to-be

Let’s take a moment to remember those who we have lost since last Father’s Day.  Let us take time to appreciate all those days around us and to celebrate them in simple ways.  To join in the celebration, enjoy 25% off by using coupon code BESTDAD until June 30, 2020.

NEW THIS SEASON: Bags and Belts!

New This Season: Bags and Belts!  Spring is a season of new and showcases creativity at its best!  Our new season will showcase colors as well as bags and belts. All around us, we will see trees become dressed with leaves, we are excited to see the Cherry trees blossoms.  The Festival started in Washington D.C last weekend in our backyard we can view orchids at the New York Botanical Garden.

Design and style were passed on to me by my mom.  I love her style and I can just imagine her as a young woman in her prime. Classic is how I would describe her style. As I grew older, I added to what I saw and crafted my individual style. Today I see my children, a teen and young adult crafting their own. Three generations of style are incorporated in Mon Petit Coeur.

You ask, What’s New This Season: Bags and Belts are launched in our Nor Collection. We are proud of our new accessories, started three years ago with a bunting, considered apparel since parents would use to hold that precious miracle as you leave the hospital, simply go for a morning or afternoon stroll.  We are pleased to offer you and your little heart our Elizabeth tote and a Victoria crossbody. Our accessories offer luxe, handmade, pure cotton, nautical and floral access in our signature basketweave stitch.

“Ties that Bind” remind us to stay close and not to let go.  Ties that Bind are belts, which features a long cord that ends with a flower, Zoe or a heart, Chloe.  Just as Spring will usher in new beginnings, add our fun, fresh and fashionable accessories to compliment that special outfit as you gather to celebrate family and friends.  New This Season: Bags and Belts!

Currently available at Pop-ups or in our Brooklyn Showspace. https://www.instagram.com/shopmonpetitcoeurny/  https://www.facebook.com/Shopmonpetitcoeurny/

Spring in to our Melange of Colors

Children can inspire us to do accomplish great things!

My business concept was inspired by my children and I love spending time with children.  Our Spring Collection received its inspiration from a creative young girl namely, Olivia Knights.  Olivia accompanied me, my daughter and friends to view the 2018 Holiday Windows display this past December.  While we were standing at the Louis Vuitton holiday window on 59th Street, Olivia asked, “Have you ever considered mixing the yarn colors to create a design.” Since our inception we’ve created products with solids and ombres and our only color blocked item was our white bottom booties. I began to ponder her concept, the seed took root in my mind, my imagination began to run wild and here we are today introducing a few firsts in our Spring 2019 Collections. We offer you three exciting hues which are joyful and uplifting. Our colors speak to our need to connect with nature all the while feeling fancy free as we plan to spend time with friends and family.

Cerise is our version of coral that displays the neckline, sunburst is centering the layering piece in the middle and the key lime is our finisher at the end of the jacket.  We are indeed better together and this Spring we offer you our color blocking in our Signature Collection namely, Melange of Colors.  We invite you to look forward to our jackets, hats, headbands as well as our new tote and cross body bag. Spring is certainly a time for new beginnings and we introduce our Nor Collection, a first bag for your little hearts as we witness them “growing up MPC.”

Growing up Mon Petit Coeur was never so much fun, when our newborns leave the bunting bag they certainly have lots to look forward to as the grow older. Pair our new colors also are perfect for combos of whites, denim as well as to other pastels. In about 21 days we will say hello to Spring, so begin to think of sprinkles on your favorite ice cream, jelly beans, water taffy as well as fruits, tasty pastries and delish baked goods. We invite you to view our new collection as they are released in March 2019 and get ready for the beginning of Spring 2019!

Our First Baby Room Decor

Leave a legacy by gifting!

Gifting is an art and Mon Petit Coeur can help you gift handmade and personal gifts.   Giving is living and all things would die if only receiving.  My father-in-law would often share.   Firstly, MPC wants to celebrate and then congratulate all new moms.  Can you believe that January is now begin us and its the first Friday in February.  From the time you found out that you were pregnant, didn’t the ten months go back quickly? I know that all the doctor appointments, not eating certain foods, not sleeping all night, morning sickness, baby moving or even the birth process seemed like a moment compared to the joy of holding a newborn baby is like none other.  Its indeed a love thing!  A healthy baby with 10 fingers and 10 toes are certainly a blessing.   A simple gift to celebrate the birth of a new baby is certainly appreciated by the family and friends.

Our Gifting Hearts Collection offers small and medium hearts, perfect gifts to express your love to family and friends.  Our crochet hearts are our first home décor offering.  Our decorative heart is a great fit in the baby room.  If you have the bassinet, baby monitor, curtains, area rug, and other furniture, our heart is a perfect fit.  The nursery basics are also on order on your baby registry, don’t forget to register for our decorative hearts. Order one of our pure cotton hearts in soft pastel colors as your gift of choice to take on that hospital visit.  If you are waiting to see mom and baby settle, take a decorative heart with you.

Our hearts are sized to be hung on the wall, on the door or anywhere in a baby’s room.  No matter the theme of the baby room, we have a size and a color to fit your color scheme.  They can also be given as hostess gifts where you show appreciation for that upcoming party invite.

We celebrate firsts at Mon Petit Coeur and we are pleased to collaborate with a woman entrepreneur, owner of Studio Hedwig in Amsterdam.  The hearts are our first imported product, handmade from left over cotton tee shirt material from the European Fashion Industry.  We are pleased to work with such a talented designer and offer our hearts to our Mon Petit Coeur family.
