Guide to Maileg: Part One - The Bunny

Welcome to the world of Maileg

The most enchanting bunnies, matchbox mice, woodland creatures, playthings, accessories and seasonal decor await your discovery.

Sisters Guild is one of the biggest stockists of Maileg online internationally and in the UK. It comes from falling in love many moons ago with all the bunny rabbits and their wonderful world.

Here's Part One of the Guide to all things Maileg

The Maileg Bunny

The first Bunny Rabbits from Maileg arrived already named - there was Emily, Christina, Viola...
Now they arrive all innocent in their knitted or floral underwear ready to be named, dressed and adored and taken on many adventures by you! 

The Maileg Bunnies are made of linen fabric in a light or dark brown.  They have long dangly legs and arms and some have floppy ears others tall ears - altogether endearing and all the better for loving. 

Now for the SIZES OF MAILEG BUNNIES
We can finally make this one a bit clearer!

The Maileg Bunnies used to be named baby, small, medium, and then X, XL, XXL.....but now the designs are categorised as follows:

MICRO, MINI, MEDIUM, MAXI, MEGA, MEGA-MAXI

These pics will help you decipher and choose your bunny size.

Measurements of Maileg bunnies: from tips of ears to toes depending on floppy or tall ears

Micro 13cm floppy ears - 16cm  tall pointy ears

Mini 23cm floppy ears - 26cm  tall pointy ears

Medium 46cm floppy ears - 50cm  tall pointy ears

Maxi 53cm floppy ears - 67cm  tall pointy ears

Mega 72cm floppy ears - 80cm  tall pointy ears

Mega-Maxi 86cm floppy ears - 104cm  tall pointy ears

There are also special Bunnies each season including Royal Bunnies & Angels 

The Bunny Wardrobe

So, what do they wear, these bunnies?  As well as making your own wonderful clothes or delving into your dolls wardrobe, Maileg have created many outfits to choose from, for each season. 
There's shoes and bags and this summer there's a Yoga set too.  The Maileg Bunnies do have an inspiring lifestyle! 

And what about the BUNNY HOME?
The Maileg Bunnies have wardrobes, ironing boards, clothes racks and washing lines.
There's cupboards, tables and chairs, benches, highchairs, prams and pottys.
A stove, a cradle, a nursery bed and a scooter coming soon too!

The Maileg furniture is suitable for the smallest bunny rabbits: the Maileg micro and mini bunnies, and some larger pieces for the Medium Rabbits.

Part Two of our guide will explore the Bunny Home in more detail.

Holidays plans for 2012 with Baby Friendly Boltholes

Baby-Friendly Boltholes is a website I go to when I have escape on my mind.. There are some seriously desirable family holidays that are firmly on my wishlist - a Tuscan Villa, a Greek Boutique Hotel or a Devon Retreat. Next year will take some extra planning for me with a 4 year old and a baby arriving in March, but I already feel quite relaxed at the idea of a holiday with all those thoughtful and family-friendly extras.

Here is a Christmas Wish from Baby-Friendly Boltholes:

Baby-Friendly Boltholes, the online little black book of stylish yet child friendly cottages, villas and boutique hotels, is a big fan of Sisters Guild and would like to wish all its users and their little ones a magical Christmas and a fun-filled 2012.

Even though we may be experiencing an Indian Summer, the nights are getting colder and it's time to be wrapped up in some beautiful soft and sumptuous fabrics.

Aden+Anais collection

A baby blanket is a wonderful gift to treasure and we have searched out what we believe is a beautiful example of a traditional hand-made lambswool blanket with a contemporary feel.  The Mini McGhee blankets are made in Scotland from 100% lambswool. In teal stripe with green border, grey stripe with pink border, or a cream design that comes with a vintage fabric bag. A lust-have for the new season.
