mini jungle.

just spotted this cardboard cut out animal set by milimbo. this small company, based in spain, draws inspiration for their artwork from stories such as “little red riding hood”, “hansel and gretel” and “the three bears”. i love tall of their products, but fell for their mini jungle…

the bandits.

you’ve seen me declare my love of stuff for kids, right? clothing, toys, books, etc. sometimes when i walk into a boutique for kids in search of a gift, i secretly {or not so secretly} want about half of the things for myself. because i don’t have kids of my own, i end up getting a little crazy and going overboard when putting treats together for little ones. here’s an example of what i’m talking about…

adatine pig bandit

these are so cute! they definitely are on my list of things to include as a gift. or, you know, for myself. these little bandits are made of 100% linen with polyester stuffing with hand embroidered bodies. i can’t decide on my favorite!

{kid stuff} leggings.

there are so many kids that dress way better than i do now as an adult. i don’t know if it’s simply here in san francisco or if you notice it where you live, too. or maybe it’s just the options for little ones are a lot more stylish than when i was growing up. i mean, it’s pretty much every single day that i see a kid and wonder why they can’t make that jacket/sweater/dress/boots/pants in my size. and things like these leggings are on the list of stuff i wish i could wear…

sunday in color.

i have a thing for children’s boutiques and the kid section of any store. maybe it’s because i love kids or maybe it’s because i am slightly envious of the beautiful design elements that i feel were lacking when i was a child. recently, i fell in love with this new online shop, sunday in color. boy, am i in trouble…

the shop has a carefully curated collection of the owner’s favorite toys, games, stationery, and decor items from different countries. france, thailand, japan, belgium, and the netherlands all make the cut of sonia’s must-have items for kids. i, of course, want it all for myself {nothing wrong with me wanting a big piggy, right?!}!

i’m pretty sure i need this wash bag

this mushroom lamp has been on my own wish list for years!

japanese paper balloons are one of my favorite things! and this penguin must be mine!!!
