OT: Need UK help looking for something for son

[Wendybird55]

Hi,

My son LOVES ITASW especially the "soldiers" with the trumpets. We are redecorating his room and he wants those soliders (Thei outfits remind me of the guards a Buckingham Palace). I luckily found a wall paper boarder with toy soldiers on it that look like the small world soliders, but am having a hard time finding a bedding set.

I was wondering if this decor theme for a young boy might be easier to find in England. I checked online at Harrods but didn't see anything. Does anyone know of a British store that may have this type of item that has a website and delivers to US?

I know it's a stretch, but I figured it's worth a try. It's bad enough his favorite ride will be closed for refurbishment when we go this year, I was hoping I could find a bed set with wooden soldiers on it intesd of going for one that just matched the colors of the wall paper.

Thanks!

Id say try www.etsy.com
The ladies on there are very talented and can make anything !! If you can think it they can sew it !!
It will save you hunting and also save a great deal in shipping as most of the sewers are based in the US.

I found a company called Adventino that has a range of "toy soldier" items including a bedding set, I can't post links but if you Google Adventino you should find it.

They deliver worldwide although delivery is quite pricey.

Wow! Thanks so much for the info. I will definately look into those sites. I've seen etsy when I've done searches - now I know what it is.

I found this set to after a quick search for you. I'd love it if I had a little boy it's so cute...
One thing to mention, I'd check the dimensions of the duvet cover sets, US standard bedding sizes are different to UK ones. I know this because my Grandma bought loads of bedding home from New York for us back in the eighties, and none of it fitted our duvets
