We've just received the season's third big shipment from Tea Collection - this time, we're in Sweden!

Our Top Five Most Favorite Things about this delivery:

BRAND NEW ROMPERS FOR BABY

Isn't chilly weather perfect for wrapping your little bundle of joy up in something soft and warm? The cozy Tea rompers you love get even better with generous hoods, elbow patches, gentle floral prints, and plenty of space for chubby baby legs!

WHIMSICAL GRAPHIC TEES FOR GIRLS

From a magical woodland fairy (complete with silver embroidery) to a very wise Mr. Owl, girls have plenty of options for days when dresses stay hanging in the closet. Layer them over your stock of Purity Tees for an extra-big cozy factor (and consider picking up those floral print cargoes - how sweet!).

NEW TEXTILES

We're pretty obsessed with the extra-soft flannel Tea has introduced into the collection. In a perfect-for-school shift dress for girls and a just-slightly-hipster button-down for boys, the plaid is brushed on both sides for extra coziness. Bring on the chilly weather!

THE FOREST FOXES TEE

It needs its own mention. We're in love.

NEW CORDS FOR THE BOYS

The Tea pants you love - adjustable waist, a touch of stretch - get a little hipper with these vintage-wash cords. With a slim fit and two colors to choose from, these pants are rugged enough for the playground and nice enough for dinner with Grandma. (Plus, they look pretty cool with all his graphic tees.)

This delivery has us excited for the arrival of chillier days (even if, here in San Francisco, they're still a ways off!); here's to flushed cheeks at recess and curling up in something cozy to (dare we say it?) start those holiday wishlists...

Welcome back. Back to fresh notebooks and sharp pencils. Back to new clothes and shiny shoes. Back to growing minds in the classroom and making friends at recess. Back to School, of course!

Here are our top five Back-to-School must-haves at Fiddlesticks!

Dante Beatrix Backpacks and Lunch Boxes

Quirky, durable, and 100% kid-pleasing, Dante Beatrix delivers a fresh new batch of bags for a fresh new school year.

Animal Sound Alarm Clocks

Rise and shine! We've got a menagerie of animal alarm clocks to choose from: how about a ribbiting frog, a chirping red bird, or a giggling raccoon to help tug sleepy heads out of dreamland? (Our favorite is the clip-clopping purple unicorn, of course.)

Eco-Friendly Lunch Gear

Here's one you might want to snag for yourself: totally reusable lunch tins and snack bags. Fill with something delicious, send them off with hungry munchkins, toss them in the dishwasher, and repeat! Perfect for school lunches, picnics, backseat snacks, airplane trips...

All the Fun Things

For us here at Fiddlesticks, it was always stocking up on fresh new school supplies that marked the transition to a new year at school, so we made sure to gather up some goodies for this year's back-to-schoolers. Goldfish pencil sharpeners, ice cream cone pens, metallic colored pencils, rocketship pencil toppers, robot erasers (with removable limbs!)...now we almost want to go back to school, too!

And finally ... The I-Wood

One more that's too good not to mention: we are SUPER excited to be carrying the I-Wood! It's a laptop, done Fiddlesticks style: smooth wood exterior, and inside, instead of a screen and keyboard, two blackboards (and plenty of chalk). Perfect for getting some serious work done - like practicing 2+2=4, or drawing superheros, of course.

We wish you and your favorite little academics a wonderful start to the school year! See you soon!
