Little Bedfellows.

I was down at our local little paperie card shop with my Mom & Z this afternoon and came across these rad little Thomas Paul Antique Toy collection pillows. They're super soft and adorable, and the backs have the best vintage inspired fabrics / patterns. I am not a cat fan but I particularly dig little miss disgruntled kitty. So cute.

Climb Into Bed.

Kids might give up candy and tv to get to climb around on and sleep in this thing. The Treehouse Bed (and supercutie accoutrements) are brought to you by Cyprus-based, high-concept, A-mazing kids' furniture company Lifetime Kids Rooms. All of their wood furniture is made of sustainable pine from northern Scandinavia, which grows slowly in difficult climatic conditions. Long story short, this creates a strong wood that is best suited for making superstrong kids' furniture. Their wood is not treated with acids or anything freaky that might cause little Johnny to grow a 3rd arm when he's 24. The Treehouse Bed isn't only well-made and insanely cool, it also has such things as a slanted ladder for entry and a rope swing for pete's sake. Well played, Cyprus. Well played.

Dude, That's Swede.

Along with my heart throb crush on the Japanese, I also have a serious love for the Swedes. Camilla Engman, Swedish artist and dog lover, makes really nice things. Her illustrations and paintings have been used by the likes of Converse and The New York Times, but she also continues to do amazing little limited edition things like her book about her dog Morran and hand printed & embroidered tea towels. Her style is sweet and innocent. But at a closer look, her characters tend to have a depth, a drop of melancholy that adds to the emotive draw of her work. Honestly, I just like her. She's good.

Let's Play House.

 A Barbie Mansion this is not. You won't find a shred of pink plastic here, my friends. Modern Playhouse makes super simple, sustainable, well-built spaces for the kiddos that inspire creativity and imagination. Their color palettes are taken from nature and the supertasteful/superdesigny house accessories & textiles are drooly-cute.

The Wonderful World of Suzy Ultman (or, I Want To Go To There).

Welcome to Suzy Ultman's world of the insanely cute. I'm trying to figure out how I can move there. Illustration, letterpress, cards, textiles, little stuffed lovies... she does it all (and I can brag that I know her). Visit her just-opened shop and buy something adorable. Now.
