Anyone found a website selling really lovely mobiles?

I want to get one for baby no. 2 but can't find anything I really like. After something colourful but not gaudy, not too plasticky...

Have you thought about making your own? You don't have to be particularly talented. I'm not, but DS and I still managed to make a couple of pretty-enough mobiles at a workshop at school. We used garden wire (I think) and invisible thread of some sort, and experimented to get the right balance so that our "kinetic sculptures" moved nicely. I suppose wire might be a bit scary if you're thinking about hanging it over a baby's cot but I'm sure you could come up with an alternative.

Or what about Etsy? I did a quick search. Lots of inspiration if you do decide to make your own and lots of lovely finds if you prefer to buy.

THanks Otter, those are lovely, by far the nicest I've found. Yes, I would rather make my own, just don't think I'm going to have time, but that's where I'd got to before I got your post, so maybe...

These are beautiful.

Don't know about mobiles but lovely baby toys and clothes on the Beandrops website at www.beandrops.co.uk and they have a 10% discount on all orders placed before 31st August. They have lovely nursery prints too.

Stop bloody advertising this, stavishka! It is counter-productive, I suspect.

We found the most gorgeous little toy shop in Minehead when we were down that way on holiday, owned by the friendliest, loveliest, most helpful man. They have some mobiles, and some wonderful traditional toys here

go on to etsy - amazing designs

These ones are lovely.
