Made me smile: The sign of things to come – kids tshirt!

G and I are big fans of the ugly dolls. I am happy to learn that they’ve gone Vinyl. Yay! (You’re probably shaking your head, I know.)

Now that’s a humidifier I would put in my apartment: Panda 1 Gallon Humidifier. ($29.99 at Target)

I am not sure if people not living in New York get this baby t-shirt: “My other stroller is a bugaboo!” Definitely made me laugh!

Bugaboo T-Shirt

Takkiainen (a combination of two Finnish words: takki, a coat, and takiainen, a bur) is a jacket for lonely or bored people. It is designed to help the wearer get in contact with others. Since we brush against each other every day as we move around the city, we can use our clothes as a medium for meeting new people. The jacket is covered with Velcro strips that form alternating hook and pile stripes. When these materials touch each other, they grab onto each other. The user can be connected with other loners simply by walking around in the jacket. Even babies can be attached to their parents.

The Doubtful Guest by Edward Gorey. Mentioned in the last issue of Domino Magazine as a perfect gift to give if you’re invited to visit someone whose design aesthetic you don’t yet know. It’s about an uninvited, rude creature that never leaves…

I am soooo getting one of these for ‘Peanutella’. How fun to have an old school cableway go across her room/crib. YAY! You have to understand, G and I will have to make sure she’ll get into the ‘skiing’ spirit quickly! ;)

I am thrilled about DWR now selling designy kids stuff (DWRjax). The football tape made me smile:

Designed to wrap around old newspaper or other scrap material, the Football Tape encircles the wadded core until it resembles a wrinkled soccer ball. This lets a child have double pleasure—mummifying something in tape and making an object to play with.

These creatureco-op plush toys totally make my day! Their names are hysterical! And their descriptions almost made me fall of my chair. Rocky Racoon and Klops are my favorites. Check them out!

Now, this looks cozy, doesn’t it? Doomoo baby to child bean bag!

G, please tell me that we will never do anything like this to our peanut? That is so wrong!

Lower case tees. I might have to buy one of these come spring, for the arrival of peanut….
