Sponsor spotlight: petitcollage

I had the pleasure of meeting Lorena Siminovich last year in NY at the gift fair. And she is just as colorful, friendly and amazing as all of her products at petitcollage.

Almost 7 years ago she started her brand and her products are just timeless ... the latest addition to her collection is the beautiful wooden animal puzzle with the signature giraffe, elephant and lion.

The puzzle started out as a pencil sketch almost two to three years ago by Lorena and has finally come to life in this beautiful FSC-certified wooden puzzle that doubles as an animal play set. Each piece is hand-cut and sanded with fine laser-etched details.

I also love the jumbo worldmap. Great decoration for any room. Following the color pallets from petitcollage is a guarantee for success!

Monday's quick start: Torafu dowel-blocks

Hello, how was your weekend? Snow, rain or shine ... I hope it was a good one!

Asia is celebrating Chinese New Year ... Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Year of the snake, not sure if that is my favorite anaimal but thes say he brings good luck ... so let's hope it is true!

I am starting this week telling you how much I love the Torafu dowel-blocks. These fun polyester decorative plywood blocks can be joined with doweling to form various shapes ... the only limit is your imagination. Holes on five sides allows the blocks to be connected three-dimensionally in an infinite number of ways... {ps. available online here}

Monday's quick start: marina*R

Let's start a new week with these gorgeous soft dolls by Marina*R...unfortunately I couldn't find much about the German Lady who makes these amazing dolls... so I am going to leave you today with just the links to her flickr and online shop page at DaWanda...

Barbie is moving house...

... and I am moving in :) ... extravaganza, pure beauty, crazy, art or call it what you like ... but I am in love!

Miniio, from Italian “mini-io”, means “mini me” ... and yes a beautiful design like this can easily come from Italy in this case you have to go to a different country ... Miniio is a Polish company founded by two mums who love good design and all things girly ... they also wanted to provide their own kids with creative toys of the highest quality which will develop their aesthetics and have fun at the same time.

Explaining their idea to a very handy dad made the whole thing  come to life ... result probably the moset beautiful doll house I have ever see ... spotted miniio at hard to find ...
