1. Neëst…ok, I’m torn…torn between my beloved vintage-inspired pattern-y, layer-y, colorful, cottage-y, handmade aesthetic and the natural, organic, linen-y, woodsy, pure, calming, muted, hand-crafted aesthetic. I am passionate about both…i love these shops…
not a big surprise that we had an organic baby section at Hey Little Diddle and i’m sure that those items will creep into my collection online as well…
2. no 74…this kids’ shop has amazing stuff as well…
3. Lili Grenadine…so sweet and french…always good…
VS…
4. London Mummy…
5. Manuela Olten of juime…delightful as they come…
See what I mean? Hard to choose so I go with both styles…which one is your favorite? I’m so happy that I went with Big Cartel as my online boutique platform…they are driving lots of traffic to my site…and I’m on the front page of their kids’ directory woohoo…
thank you Big Cartel…enjoy your wednesday, xocc ♥
Hi everyone…I’m incredibly excited to announce that my online boutique, Hey Little Diddle is now LIVE! It has taken the collaboration of many people to get to this point and I want to thank Tabitha Emma, my graphic designer, and Robot Jamie, the graphic designer who coded my store, for their talent. I am using the big cartel platform but wanted a custom design for my store and for it to blend in seamlessly with my website and blog and by gosh I think they got it, thanks guys!
Here is it is…click here to visit the store and welcome back to all my loyal customers…and to my current design clients, Claudia Clobes Interiors is alive and well and will continue to grow, only now Hey Little Diddle, my ‘baby’ will be by my side…
Thank you to my entire family & my friends for their unwavering support…i hope you visit soon…have a great weekend, xocc ♥

Hey Little Diddle is the name of my bricks and mortar store that i co-owned and operated with my sister, interior architect Maria Lucoff, for 13 years…boy, did we have some fun times together curating our beloved collections. After taking a break to focus on my career as an interior decorator, it’s time to re-focus on hld, which i’m soon launching as an online store, offering a curated collection of baby things very similar to the stuff we carried at “the store,” what we called our labor of love.
I could not be more excited to share my new business cards with you, originally designed by Shannon at EightCrazy Designs and then reworked by graphic designer and illustrator Tabitha Emma. Tabitha did a great job on my new hld logo and online store and incorporating hld into my existing website and blog to form a cohesive brand.
so many exciting things are happening right now for hey little diddle, including a collaboration for some exclusive baby announcements, designed by one of best in the stationery industry. One of my other talented sisters (i have 3), Connie Echeverria, founder and designer of the amazing MochilaMia Handmade Designs will be selling her line of handknit afghans, baby booties, ponchos, etc…stay tuned for details…have a great day! xocc ♥

I’m in loVe with mixed media art…i first saw sushipot’s flickr photostream on Poppytalk and then i found Suzanna Scott ‘s work…

All things kids…since I’ve been scouring the internet and reconnecting with my coveted sources (from my Hey Little Diddle brick and mortar days 1994-2007) as I put together my collection for my new big cartel store, Hey Little Diddle, it seems fitting that I focus on kidstuff this week…here are some of my faves, the likes of which inspire me to no end…i adore childrens’ fashion and really all things kids…
1. Chakra…
Designer and founder Bindu Kasinadhuni got her master’s degree at Philadelphia University, where my sister used to teach and which is minutes from my house. I just love her company’s philosophy, responsible manufacturing practices and the fact that everything is hand dyed and block printed using an ancient Indian printing technique. She’s also providing work to under-privileged artisan women in a small coastal Indian village. She simply speaks my language…
2. Handmade baby mocs by Susan of Freshly Picked…
3. Lots of inspiration…
Will Taylor…via Sweet Paul Magazine…
my new logos…
Logo design by Tabitha Emma.
Sweet right? The launch of Hey Little Diddle is still a few weeks away, but stay tuned…Have a great day…xocc ♥
Isn’t this one of the best things you have ever seen? LoVe!
