How about these sweetheart dolls from Mio Mucaro Creatures? Each doll is made with 100% Cotton fabric (custom printed with Eco-friendly, water-based ink) and […]

I’ve been staring around my home the last couple of weeks in dismay. Where did all the clutter come from? How does it keep growing? I need to be more vigilant. It’s time to start thinking of clutter solutions! How about only buying miniature things? I’d start with these little toys from Mirianata. Teeny tiny […]

Ok, quick, before the the Holidays with a capital “H” take over. What comes after New Years? Valentines’ Day, and even though you may not think you need to worry about it now, let’s just think for a second. Are you ever prepared for Valentine’s Day? I’m not, because I’m too busy with everyone else. […]

For the first time in weeks, I had a slower, calmer work day yesterday. It was almost pleasant. I had time to answer my emails, wrap up some loose ends on a few projects, and in general, breathe. All in all, I felt much like these sweet dolls from Kathryn Davey. Calm faces, restful poses, […]

Denim. It’s everywhere. Yet, it’s really rare to see it done well in toys – unless you’re looking at a Bratz doll, maybe. It seems Evie Barrow has found a way to make denim and stuffed toys look just right. The Sweet Dreams characters are each one of a kind, with faded, well-loved denim and […]

pillows that come in all flavors

Average pillows, poufs, and bean bags are ok. They serve their purpose. But I think any kid would agree that Woouf! has made some much more appetizing options! But where do we start? The bean bags shaped like cupcakes, ice cream cones, or maybe a giant tennis shoe? Or, you can start smaller and choose […]

Puzzles are practically a universal thing. Loved by young and old, and a great activity for kids to really work on their concentration and perseverance. I’m always amazed how long Birdie can focus on a puzzle – especially if I’m there with her and it’s somethhing we do together. Press2Fit puzzles are a little different […]

I have loved Roxy Marj’s blankets since day one. I remember when I first tried to find them and they were always out of stock – clearly other people like them as much as I do! I secretly wish they’d make a larger size to cover me while I work on my sofa at night! […]

when you need a toy to be a little bit of everything

Thumbnail image for when you need a toy to be a little bit of everything

There are toys being made that don’t fit into our preconceived ideas of what a toy is all about. It takes some innovative thinking to really step back and look at what it means to be a plaything. Ember Design has created a toy that may, at first glance, look like a railroad car. But […]

animals with a name like filomeluna must be good

Thumbnail image for animals with a name like filomeluna must be good

Ears like leaves and feathers, bunnies with a mermaid’s tail, and mustachioed cats. That’s definitely the kind of creative world I want to live in. Looks like Filomeluna feels the same way, because her animals are exactly as I described above – elephants with leaves for ears, bunnies with fishy fins, and a dapper cat […]

Modern, but classic, timeless, and full of play value. Those are the things I love to find in a toy – and the things I can’t wait to share with you. I’ll be honest, the first thing that drew me to desEnfantillages was the minimal styling and color palette. But don’t be fooled, desEnfantillages has […]

Pugs. The most adorable and simultaneously the strangest dog I can think of.  But they’re a great source of inspiration. Take the world of Dodobob, for example. These sweet stuffed animals are all inspired by the creator Arzu’s own little pug and people’s reactions to her dog. There are three different families of pugs that […]
