Dollhouse for the kid on the go
Back in the olden days my best friend and I used to cart around our Sylvanian Families everywhere we went. We would have gone gaga for this awesome “mobile home”. Although it does appear to be big mean brother crushable it could at least stand a season or two of play, can be decorated with paints and markers, and would be able to be recycled once the fun was done. What an ingenious idea!
Can be purchased online at Tiny Dodo.
New Marimekko for Spring ‘09
Is it my imagination, or is Spring peeking at us from right around the corner? I sure hope so! Marimekko is sure in the spirit with their new line of designs for Spring ‘09. Lots of the usual whimsy and bright colors. I likey.
Gift show super find
Blue disks necklace
Disk charm bracelet
Multi Strand disks necklace
Grey and white disk necklace
The NY International Gift Fair was this week and let me tell you, it is a totally overwhelming and daunting experience. It is easy to feel like you are missing a lot of good stuff, if something doesn’t catch your eye you just keep on truckin’ through the booths. Well, these pieces which I found at the Yvette Fry Inc. booth grabbed hold of my eyeballs and wouldn’t let me pass by! The maker of these super cool pieces of jewelry is GS Lillian, and let me tell you, they are even better and more eye popping in person. Total statement pieces. Very much recommended.
Lovely enamel jewels
Boring days at work call for a lot of scouring the internet for groovy goods worth posting here. Anyone who has looked at this site before knows that I am a sucker for enamel jewelry, so here’s some more enameled awesomeness from Etsy seller Smashing.
From the top: Currency bracelet, Mars cufflinks, and Teeming necklace.
Wood you wear these glasses?
I am something of a glasses aficionado, but I have never in my life seen cooler frames than these handmade wooden pairs from Urban Spectacles. Why haven’t I ever seen glasses made from wood before? It sort of makes sense doesn’t it? File that under things that make you go hmmm.
