I'm crazy about this darling peacoat for little girls, by one of my favorite Locallectual children's clothing companies, Shrnk . How adorable could it be??? Shrnk is a great children's line, offering lots of hip, graphic tops and tees for both boys and girls. But on my last visit to their site, it was this coat that really caught my eye. And this peacoat is made in the USA, naturally!

The NHS Board will source local meat, which will benefit local farmers and producers.
