It's no small feat, Elmo. I think most parents would agree that the concept of that little red monster is somehow magical. Kids fall in love with Elmo - sometimes at first sight! His giggle is infectious and his love is enchanting; uplifting. I, for one, am extremely curious about what it was like being and creating Elmo. I'm totally looking forward to getting a glimpse at the maker of Elmo and the magic-maker of a timeless lovable furry little character!

Somehow the Macaroons always seem to fill in a hipster holiday music void in our house!

One of our friends (Thanks Zarina!) recently gave Freida an itty-bitty guitar, and while she's now just old enough to appreciate the string variety, I would love to have happened upon this stuffed pillow version when she was just learning to stand and obsessed with the real guitars in the house. For now she's been having a blast practicing strumming and plucking at the acrylic 4 string guitar, but I'm secretly planning an intervention - I'd love to order some wooden Ukuleles for all of us to learn together this summer...
But back to the super-rad find - electric guitar pillows! How seriously rock 'n roll these would be strewn across the bed or couch in a boy's room, or residing lonely on a nursery rocking chair, or even claiming some space on the family room sofa! Soft and colorful, these stuffed guitar pillows are screaming for some soft-rock love songs...
