A new design from Ontwerpduo, the Rockid looks like a lovely little spot to rock and read your warm lil' bundle to sleep... Sweet dreams mums - it's not available until tomorrow! ; )
You can get your hands on one, here.
P.S. it's not totally impractical - once your mini outgrows the cradle the whole piece can be converted to a rockin' bench... Cheers!
The Jewish Museum of New York is now hosting an exhibit: Curious George Saves the Day, interprets this lovable iconic monkey's knack for savior to be symbolic of the actual safeguarding of his creators as they fled war-torn Paris in the 1940's with their first manuscript in their suitcase. This exhibition delves into the life and works of Margret and H.A. Rey, and tells the story of their narrow escape from Nazi-occupied Europe; their belongings being searched at the border, and upon being found with these wonderful children's illustrations being allowed to pass through and eventually arrive in the United States. Featuring close to 80 original drawings and telling a story of escape and encounter through the curious little monkey, this exhibit will likely delight both adults and children. If I were in the greater New York area - I would definitely stop by for a visit.
This exhibit is open now through August, check it out!
Here's a little peek at some of those originals:
I'm always looking for scents to keep on the go: solids for the diaper bag, samples for my evening bags etc. You never know when you'll need a good freshening up, and a scent is one of the simplest ways to get that refreshed feeling. Re-apply some lipstick, add a spritz of fragrance - and you're good to go!
I love this perfume-bubbles concept from Francis Kurdjian! Lightly perfumed, and simplistically packaged, these bubbles release a subtle fragrance when blown; offering some desperate entertainment during a toddler-meltdown-moment, while providing the drained mama with some fresh scented solace. And better yet - these bubbles won't stain even your delicate fabrics!
In Cut Herbs, Cold Mint, and (my favorite) Pear. Available here.
Apologies for being rather out of commission recently - been busy with a few new projects and exciting aspirations (details may follow) : ) Other than that, I've been surprisingly busy working to transition Freida's nap from 10am to 12pm. I am still shocked at the amount of diligence it took on my part to keep her nice and distracted enough to ensure she stayed awake. Had to revamp our whole schedule (which had worked so beautifully until now, it was hard for me to admit it needed a reroute)!
While researching some playroom lighting options, I came across a new favorite for children's spaces, offices, reading corners etc. The NUD collection offers this: a meager lightbulb on a simple/spunky chord. And I love it.
Hung in a single file, these make a wonderful minimalist lighting exhibit while adding a subtle pop of color (depending on your choice of cord). Gathered in a cluster, these lights add a bit of industrial-style-whimsy; clean, chic, and modern.
