I'm searching for cot bedding that I purchased in late 2002/early 2003. Mothercare had a whole themed room, I had the wallpaper and everything.

It was yellow with a multicolour gingham trim. Either circus or zoo theme with an elephant as the main character.

It was used for all 3 of my DC and I long to have it back. I stupidly lent it to a friend for her teenage daughter, and they never returned it, it went to a charity shop.

After months of searching I'm all but ready to throw in the towel.

Was it this one OP? It does have gingham on it.

AdditionalCharacter · 25/01/2021 21:16

No not that one, but thanks. The gingham was just on the trim.

I worked at Mothercare in 2002/03 and I can see it in my head.
I'll start a search

I know the one you mean. It was safari animals, lions, elephants, tigers and I think zebras? Green, red, yellow and blue with a gingham edge. I bought it for my ds in 1999 so it would have been out of production for a very long time by now. Good luck, you have brought back some lovely memories for me by mentioning it.

Heybeendyingtomeetyou · 25/01/2021 21:18

But not this style one? How different were the colours/characters?

Was it part of this set? I bought this probably early 2007 so maybe not the one you're looking for.

If it’s the one we had, it was similar to this, but safari animals not farm animals.

Was like a zoo/circus theme, but using those words brings up similar, not the same. The one it brings up has stripes, it's the gingham one I'm specifically looking for.

Thanks @tooearlytobeup, the gingham was multicolour.

I also found this but I don't think it's what you are after.

EduCated · 25/01/2021 21:31

Could it be this?

Fiddlersgreen · 25/01/2021 21:32

It was called Baby Circus.
My DS was born Feb 2004 and I worked at Mothercare, I bought the whole range.

EduCated · 25/01/2021 21:32

Sorry, other people posted while I was looking!

TillyTopper · 25/01/2021 21:33

Maybe www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/757730706030903952/this? Although it doesn't help as it's on pintrest!

lockedownloretta · 25/01/2021 21:36

pretty sure it was called gingham safari and i had the whole lot for my two!
can't find any pics on google and all my photos are on a hard drive somewhere!

dancemom · 25/01/2021 21:37

I had this for my dd in 2005 although I remember it more giraffe themed than elephant?

Fiddlersgreen · 25/01/2021 21:39

We still have the fleece blanket
It’s so hard to google because Mothercare had so many circus ranges since then

Humphrey's Corner? DD1 was born Jan 2004, and we had that range.

HasaDigaEebowai · 25/01/2021 21:42

I have some of it in the loft including rolls of border. Hang on I’ll find a picture
