top picks #40

Handmade Illustrated Stuffed Plush Vintage Retro Bear on Etsy

It’s the end of April – that time of the year when Summer is just around the corner and still full of all its promise. It’s one of my favorite feelings. Much better than when August 1st arrives and I realize, yet again, that it’s slipped by me without my full attention. This week I’ve been so focused on the two big blogger events going on right now that I haven’t even thought about Spring!

I want thank you all again for your votes and your boosts of confidence when voting for me. It’s paying off! I’ve made it to the top 20 finalists for the Hopscout Stay at Home Millionaire contest. (stay tuned for my next video on that subject, coming in the next week). And, I’m in the running to make the Top 25 Kids Style Blogs over at Circle of Moms. Just to make sure, can you remember to vote once a day through May 9th on the Top 25 blogs? I’d so appreciate it!

Here’s this week’s top picks:

  • (image above): This Bear in Red Pants’ beautifully detailed face has me remembering my 1970’s printed lion pillow doll. Man I miss him! via Kickcan & Conkers.
  • I’m still looking for the perfect Mother’s Day Gift, but I’m loving this gift list over at Petite Eco Kids.
  • I’m a girl who’s always loved stickers. And now I’ve found the wallpaper idea to match. DIY sticker wallpaper! Seriously, make your own patterns will teeny stickers. It’s brilliant! DIY Wallpaper Stickers from Decor Hack.
  • Loving the felt flowers, guitar, and guitar-carrying doll from Pretty Little Things, via Bloesem Kids.
  • A quick, simple, and mod approach to kid-made paper flowers for your mother’s day gifts. Of course it’s from Made by Joel, my hero.
