The Baby Gardner Offers Up Original Creations
Vintage children items are beautiful, yet hard to come by. When it’s found, it is usually very expensive or not for sale.
Deanna Gardner has made it so that parents can buy their children those items that gives them a look back in time, without paying the prices. That is because the art used is styled to fit into that vintage style without actually being that old. All of the items are artist originals which gives each item something special.
Not all of the art shown on the items sold by Deanna at The Baby Gardner are by her, though. The extraordinary talent of others around the world have been given to the items she sells as well. All of the artists used have a love for vintage and for children, making their artwork just as fitting as Deanna’s. Anyone looking to buy something from her website just needs to look for the artist credit with the item to see who is the artist behind the item.
With a degree in fine art and graphic design this mom of two, I can tell that this mom has succeeded at turning something she loves into a great business with it’s own unique style.

I’m kinda loving the idea, you’ll able to find the designs way back on your moms earlier age..
Sure it’ll look nice and cute knowing they’re made to wear by your children’s..

It’s a nice website. However, she uses images without permission from other vintage sources. I would be leery of doing business with someone who claims the art is theirs when it is not.

Mel:
If you had read a little closer you would see that she does give credit to those who created the vintage-inspired art featured, if it was not designed by her.
On the front page of her website you’ll see 2 short paragraphs right in there includes this line:
“Our collection consists of original designs created by a variety of talented artisans.”
She goes further into detail about the origins of the art on her about page as well: http://www.thebabygardner.com/aboutme.html
I hope that clears up any misconceptions. :-)
