Bookhou TEXTURE!

Sculpture!

Baskets!

More sculpture!

Objects!

Oh, the sculpture!

and even some baby love for the tiniest modernists!

If you crave texture and crave the natural look and feel of textiles, and sculpture, you may find the little Canadian company Bookhou as delightful as I do!

Sticks and Stones, Let Them Eat Cake!

It's back to school time. Online school shopping mostly. I think I'm the one who needs to shop though...my little girl informed me that if I would only wear skirts and dresses more often we'd never have a bad morning (she was referring to her less than stellar behavior from earlier in the day) she PROMISED.
It's tempting. Very tempting.

We recieved a catalog in the mail this week that was over the top!

Chasing Fireflies is a Seattle company that specializes in cute- crazy cute. The twig alphabet is especially fun. The costumes are ridiculous- and I mean that in a good way- not in the "I'll buy it right this instant way", but in a "hey- I could copy that" way. The toadstool table and chairs tickles my fancy in the most fungus way! Can you imagine? Makes me want a retail shop selling only whimisical, fanciful and imaginative kid/kid at heart furniture. Then I remeber I swore off retail eons ago!

For the ultra modern firefly catcher- when serious deskwork calls.

My little girl needs indoor slippers for school- guess who saw these and deemed them perfect?- yes, and she agreed.

I realize I have created a monster...perhaps similar to the one below...it's how she sees herself I'm sure.

My eyeballs rolled to the back of my head when I saw little Marie Antoinette. That hair! She certainly is a spectacle! Reminds me of the film by Sofia Coppola. A friend of mine saw it and complained about the dialogue. "There was dialogue?" I asked, somewhat shocked. I only saw fabulous shoes, scenes that looked wonderfully edible- like cake and French macaroons, and costumes...and there was that fantastic music...dialogue, really? hmm.
