They have special occasion dresses for a baptism or first communion. Their casual dresses and outfits are adorable, however the cost is a bit high considering these are for the growing child. Personally, I think a $75 casual summer dress for a five year old, isn't the most consumer friendly purchase. Maybe your child's special birthday dress, could come from The Blue Horse. Additionally they also sell children's books and licensed stuffed animals. The Blue Horse is located in Downtown Mystic.

Definitely stop in for personal service and unique children's items.

The shop was here for decades, with the most beautiful selection of the finest European children's and infants' clothing, shoes, accessories, stuffed toys, and classic children's books. I shopped here as a child and throughout my children's baby and teen years. The proprietor, Linda Keunkler Ward, sadly, passed away in 2018, it was a very special, tasteful, and lovely shop. My children and I have memories of the shop's pet gerbil, Christmas photo cards pinned to the wall, and a little dish of gum drops at the checkout counter.

I gotta say I've hunted far and wide for the odd baby gift, took great pride in trying to be the cool aunt to my nieces by finding unique clothes, and ive even worked in a shop or two in my day. But I tell you this with great confidence - you'll never find a shop with such an exquisite array of children's clothing. Im not kidding. The owner has impeccable taste, and Ive yet to poke through these racks and find something that wasnt classic and of the utmost quality. If you ever find yourself in Essex, Ct.: 1. consider yourself lucky. 2. visit the red balloon. Love, Sara

We didn't want to go public with the actual name we'd chosen for him before he was born, and for the purposes of this review, I'll refer to him as Ichabod. Hey, it's nostalgic. After "Ichabod" was born, one of the nicest baby gifts we received was from our cousins - a soft white towel with colorful trains on it, and his name on it. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/FVluLU0ipBv3FoeRsBmo1g?select=-bfU5BxCC7DGP8EsUxeJLA Ichabod is not a common name, so it's not like our cousins just picked it up at the store. Our son loves his train towel, and uses it after every bath. Our friends just had a baby and named her Paisley. We thought this would be a perfect present for her. We called my cousin so we could give this great gift to our friends. It comes in a variety of colors and designs (butterflies, fairies, ducks, fire trucks, dinosaurs, zoo animals, fish, sailboats, etc.), and you can have other things personalized, including: * Towels * Hooded towels * Bibs * Spa wrap * Holiday stocking * Pail and shovel This makes a thoughtful gift for any kid and is very high quality. You can order online or over the phone. Ichabod loves his unique towel, and I think we'll buy others - especially for other kids with unusual names.

When Jennifer L. wrote her review of this site I bookmarked it. A dear friend of Tam's was…read morepregnant and I thought this would be a fine place to buy her baby a gift. After he was born I ordered a towel w/ sailboats and his name on it. I ended up calling to order it rather than going through the site because I don't like PayPal, which they use. It's a long story. Don't ask. The woman I spoke to was friendly and warm. She was a little apologetic that it would take maybe three weeks, I told her not to worry about it, that I'd waited this long to contact her and could wait a little longer. We agreed the baby wouldn't know the difference. The towel arrived while we were in KC and I opened it last night when we got home. It is a gorgeous blue, soft and beautifully crafted. I just love it and so will Mommy and Baby, I think. Enclosed was a sweet note w/ another apology for the wait and a coupon for a discount on my next order. Well, I have a little great niece who will be turning 2 this summer and could use a towel w/ her name on it. I look forward to choosing the color and design. This will not be my last purchase here. I think the prices are extremely reasonable and the website gives you a good sense of her products, which Jennifer lists in more detail in her review.

In general I think this is a nice addition to the borough. The owner should know that the young woman who regularly works on the weekends is quite bad -- she is very frosty and not at all interested in making small talk or offering to help (she's constantly buried in her phone). A little interest in customers would go a long way.
