I love when I spot some well-designed version of childhood essentials on the market! Yes, this water table is outrageously overpriced, but just seeing a serious upgrade from the plastic-bulk preschool staples gives me peace of design-mind; for it will eventually trinke down into common-place, affordable, and much-better-looking playspaces. I'm already feeling the summer heat! You can find it in 4 beautiful color combos here.
The Mini Social is brimming with heaps of goodies today! Including 3 of my most favorite children's books, some charming casual-dress clothes for boys, legendary loot by mid-century artist Charley Harper, awesome graffiti style learning via Alternative ABC's, and a collection of adorable baby threads!
If you are not a Mini Social member yet, you are now officially invited to join the party here.
Happy thrift-ing!!
I've stumbled upon these MisseMai images while browsing around out here, and I'm just blown away by the sudden surge of creativity I have in regards to imprinting my wedding invitation onto something more artisitc than a simple print.
Throw pillow got me thinking about bedding, which subsequently turned my thoughts to wallpaper, which led me to land on a laser-cut piece of brass! How incredible would it be to have our own little "family-logo tree" (which was created by the fabulous YossiGraphicDesign for our wedding) boldly exploiting majority of the dining room wall?? What a great way to put the one-time-used wedding monogram (or what have you) to everlasting appreciation...!
Happy sun-soaked Friday to you all! Here's a few links I've been meaning to share:
- A cute + clever creative-table invention for the kiddos.
- The Bugaboo Donkey prices are in. Oh my!
- My latest Algemeiner article, "The Zaidy Syndrome".
- Zara Kids Spring 2011 Collection is brimming with children's chic and class.
- A Rabbi seriously redefines devotion after the tragic New Zealand quake. (Tzippy, you've got quite the man on your hands! We love you and miss you guys!!)
- Some really great lunch-box ideas from Gwyneth - to revamp the old routine.
Happy (almost spring!!) weekend!
I know it's not even quite Purim yet, but the spring-clean countdown has my mouth watering (I know I'm a freak!)... There are so many home-improvement/organization projects I'd love to get done by the time Pesach rolls around. And the housewares collection over at Alice Supply Co. can have you ringing in the spring season with bright, cheerful, and colorful cleaning supplies. Say bye-bye to ugly and hello to happy!
