And the cute little girl modeling the collection is THE Charlotte of Handmade Charlotte – one of Rachel’s five kids. And I am proud to say, that Bellissima Kids is the very first…

Cookieboy
I just can’t believe these amazing cookies by Cookieboy! They are so much more than cookies. Talented Yamateke Natsu Hilo, a Japanese textile artist, turned cookie artist makes cookies of any subject adding his own humor and whimsy. They just have so much personality and are of unexpected things such cameras, mustaches, bonsais and sheep wearing necklaces.…

Yo’Play Blox Containers
I just had a “Why didn’t they think of this sooner?” (like fifty years ago) moment or actually a “Why didn’t I think of this?” moment. Yogurt cartons that are toys designed of course by an Italian design firm, deGast deSIGN – children are stimulated to ‘collect and reuse’ instead of ‘waste’, and…

Kinderkookkafe – Amsterdam

Kitakinda Day Care Center – Denmark
What a fantastic space. I want to play in this Danish day care center, called Kitakinda. Why can’t they make something like this in NYC? This tree-inspired Danish day care center has a tree trunk as the foundation of the center, which creates the security blanket for the entire structure. Dream Blossoms grow out…

Riva Reno Gelato – Milan
This post is from guest blogger, Amy Johnson, a new transplant in Milan. Ciao from Milano, where it’s hot but the indulgence cool and creamy. This post from the Mediterranean is all about gelato, the dreamy Italian delicacy sold in no fewer than three shops per street and enjoyed by everyone from elderly ladies to…

Doughnut Plant NYC
Could it be the doughnut is the new cupcake? This place has been around for quite a while and their new shop has been there a few months, so I’m a day late and a doughnut short (excuse the pun). I only became aware of them a few weeks ago when I went to a…
