We all like wood toys, because, then, we can at least leave them out, show them off & not hide them like the plastics. Maybe that's an impractical perfect toy world?
Whatever the case, David Weeks' wood toy objects are not only amazing design-wise, but eco-friendly (made of sustainable beech wood) and non-toxic as well . Again, check to see if the plastics can say this!
And while the David Weeks' toy objects are not intended for small children (as all the small parts move & twist and could potentially pinch!) an older child would have a grand time twisting & turning Ursa or Cubebot. Also: dignified bookshelf decor?
The pricetags are not cheap, though you can bring a small Cubebot home for a teeny $25.
Shop David Weeks!

Yes, Harry Allen. Hot pink piggy banks & gold trucks.
Who else has the nerve to do... that?
Cast from resin and marble the Pig Bank's price tag may seem a bit steep to hold a bunch of pennies. But consider this: it can hold up $10,000 in dollar bills!
And the Truck? Not for the kids. It's a catch all bowl, to clarify.
Shop Harry Allen!

Look!! Dwellstudio has expanded their modern nursery empire to include ...furniture! We're all in love -- so let me introduce:
The mid-century inspired Century Crib & Dresser (with changing table topper), available in 3 finishes. How amazing are those legs!?

Singgih Kartono had me at the wood radio! A radio, so old school. Sort of expensive, and i would not let the little kids play with it, but a true design piece that has won a multitude of awards.

I carry my babies in a sling .... for much of their 1st year of life. Even if they are chewy & chunky and weigh 20 lbs at 4 months (oh, Owen!).
Everybody has their favorite baby-carry-ing contraption. I've tried them all. My favorite? The Sakura Bloom ring sling.
My top 5 why Sakura Bloom Ring Slings are hot:
versatile - multiple holding positions, folds up small & is lightweight.
adjustable - newborn to toddler, yo!
fashionable - right? babies are.... fashionable! so is linen in grey.
comfortable - no matter which way you hold 'em, babies get heavy. don't blame this on the sling!
cozy - having baby snuggled in is gold. don't miss your opportunity. agreed = babies grow up FAST.
My favorite sling to carry my (almost 5 month old) baby Isac in? Pure Linen in 'storm' - only $88!

Happy Monday!
To start the week off: new goodies from Amenity. I am crazed about their new kid's collection - vivid golds & oranges, fuchsias and ocean blues.
