Sweetest things.....

Add Video
I think that someone takes the time and care to knit & felts these booties by hand is incredible and admirable.
I am so glad that we have a new baby on the way in our family so I have a baby to buy them for!!
I think after this video feature of the process, I better put in my orders now......

taken by Storm....



This is Storm.....he is a sweet little handmade whale I recently bought from Poink!

Poink plushies are made by hand by Felicia, an illustration and design student in Vancouver BC, during her time outside class.

She hand-makes each whale with its own "Character" and I want more from her but I have to wait until mid terms are over........ sigh.................! http://www.poink.etsy.com

More fabrics....









Here are some more of my recent favorite finds from Japan & some retail sources......




Can't Pick a Favorite!


I am looking for a location to open a retail front for my childrens business...I can't wait to have a space to create and curate.
San Juan Capistrano or San Clemente I think...any thoughts??
Anyway, when I saw this fabric my heart stopped...I can't wait to have it made into wallpaper & place a comfy white chaise in front of it, a fantasy spot to read fairytales.



I love the fabrics for kids from Japan, including the pattern I just ordered this one from nuno-plus.com. I was thinking about pillows or laminating it and making a tote with it....hmmm....grand plans.
