Dream dollhouse for a modern family

Dream dollhouse for a modern family

We are ridiculously in love with this gorgeous mid-century dollhouse from  Brinca Dada called Emerson.  Because every awesome house should be named, you know. A second bit of coolness is their gorgeously designed modern furniture that perfectly complements each of the house’s 7 rooms.  Oh mah gah.  If we were ...

Sock monkeys are a girl’s second best friend

It’s important that I get right to the point here:  I love sock monkeys. If it was possible, I would start sharing this love in a more physically manifested way with the Ella by gifting her this amazing sock monkey Christmas stocking. Snuggled inside the stocking would be this wunderbahr ...

It’s all black and white

As is to be expected from a baby her age, Ella LOVES looking at things with strong color contrast.  Sunshine and shadow, smiles with lots of teeth, window shades on a sunny day. That’s why I really love these Wee Gallery animal flash cards – no fancy schmancy color schemes, ...

Hollaback Girls for sale – I kid you not

Gwen Stefani has launched a line of dolls at Target called Love. Angel. Music. Baby. (so much for naming originality, but whatever). The dolls are cool because 1) they are of Gwen and her Harajuki girls and 2) their outfits are detailed mini-replicas of the costumes worn on their last ...

Pogo the UglyDog

Ella 9/23/06 Originally uploaded by maggieminder. Ella received her first UglyDoll from her Buela this weekend.  His name is Pogo and he not only has more teeth, but is also currently larger than his little owner. UglyDolls (which as you might be able to tell by their name happen to ...

They call him Pooki

They call him Pooki

The French Pooki & Co. makes zany plush characters out of felt with back-stories to rival any Asian toy company (can we say hi to Hello Kitty and her 10-page biography on her favorite breakfast cereals?). I think Pooki is the coolest – mostly because of the mismatched eyeballs and ...
