  • New Kickcan & Conkers Shop

    Believed to date back to the late 1940’s, a handcrafted baby pilot mobile, made from wood and stainless steel. What a great, new shop of my cyber friend Deborah Beau of the super popular blog, Kickcans & Conkers! She has a very unique mix of vintage treasures that she finds in the South of France, (where…

  • Olympus VG-120 – A four-year-old’s photo log

    This Olympus VG-120 is the camera we decided on for Oona’s Christmas present! I was against getting a toy as you have to continually be replacing batteries, the quality of the photos is awful and they only take about ten photos at a time. We are so happy with our choice, I thought I would…

  • Mini Inflatables

    What a cool Christmas installation using these Mini Inflatables as reindeer. This novel new beach inflatable in the form of a Mini car is expected to hit the market for Summer 2012! They look like a blast. Via The Cool Hunter      

  • Vespa Rocking Horse

    Another unorthodox rocking horse! This stunning rocking horses styled from a Vespa was made for a grandson in Italy, so the story goes… Lucky kid – I am swooning. And now the artist is taking orders to custom make these for the world! If you are so inclined, you can order them from Théatron Italian…

  • Rocking Horse by Atelier Marloe Bakx

    Another horse toy ! I love this ultra-modern, minimalist rendition by Marloe Bakx which is part of his Play-less collection. And his backpacks that come with hoods (with an ipod in it) and stuffed toys are so interesting. Via Kickcan & Conkers

  • Vintage Rocking Horses and Toys

    I have to admit I am very partial to horses and carousels and rocking horses and so are my daughters. So, I was scouring Etsy for something vintage and horsey and found these lovely pieces. This 18th century exquisite rolling horse probably wouldn’t be subjected to a play session but would be such a great…

  • Block Mold by Lai Yeh Chen

      This Block Mold by Lai Yeh Chen is amazing and won a design award…and he deserves it. It’s a simple mold designed to make building blocks for children out of recyclable paper, water, and a bit of time. His idea was a toy that any child could afford and one that would also embody the concept…

  • Paper Town – A Recycled Pop Up Town

      This Paper Town toy from Poland has really taken my fancy with the bright colors and all that imaginative detail. Inspired by Polish suburban life, the choice of three kits contain houses, playgrounds, shops, vehicles, gas stations, etc. The Paper Town is made of fully recycled paper and the pieces are precisely punched, so putting…

  • Ikea Lillabo Train Set and Duktig Breakfast Set

    Here are my two toy picks from Ikea. We actually got this Lillabo train set a few weeks ago and the girls love it – we plan to get another one so that we can make the track longer and have more trains of course. And this cute little Duktig breakfast set is adorable. Unfortunately,…
