Bubble Wrap Up

March 11, 2009

Yesterday, I spent some time at Bubble. It’s the children’s clothing trade show that happens twice a year here in New York. If you are trying to stock the newest, coolest, independent clothing lines for kids, this is a don’t miss show. And it’s lots of fun to attend. I was able to meet many [...]

Buisjes En Beugels

March 10, 2009

Check out this amazing line of children’s clothing from Dutch company Buisjes En Beugels. Completely cool and funky but still totally kid-like and wearable. If the Brooklyn hipster parents haven’t already discovered this line, it’s only a matter of minutes. The little boy in the cardigan at the top? He’s my favorite. Share and Enjoy:

A Story Box — by Guest Aunt Kelly Wilkinson

March 10, 2009

The realization that I am the first Guest Aunt here is making me sit up straight and take this newly-created role very seriously. I want to do good by all of us aunts out here, who – like me – probably don’t have the vocabulary to express the love for our little nieces or nephews. [...]

Magnet Makeover — by Guest Aunt Kelly Wilkinson

March 9, 2009

Every time we move, our collection of beloved photos, notes and postcards on the refrigerator goes into a file folder to be transported to our next kitchen. And every time I open that folder and transfer the old mementos to the new fridge, that new kitchen finally feels like home. But like most people, we’re [...]

Welcome to Kelly Wilkinson!

March 9, 2009

It’s a great new week at Design Mom. I’m back from the wedding in Boulder (more on that later) and I’ve got an incredibly talented Guest Mom that I get to introduce today. Actually, I think she might be our first official Guest Aunt. Which is equally fun. But maybe more fun, because it’s new [...]

It’s a company making a prettier version of free email invites. By the way. Does anyone else remember the Martha Stewart Living with the pinwheels on the cover? It was from [...]

March 5, 2009

Since I posted about the brain cupcakes, my inbox has suddenly become the hotspot for party ideas. For example, an email with a link to this slideshow of 31 cake ideas — with full, step-by-step instructions no less. The dumptruck and fries are my favorites. Speaking of truck cakes, did you see the truck party [...]

Aprons

March 4, 2009

I just received an email about the aprons at Practically Necessary. They are adorable. And there are 3 collections to choose from. I think aprons make great gifts for all sorts of occasions — housewarming, hostess, birthday… Don’t miss the pleats on the Jenny. So fab. Styled like a school girl’s skirt. Share and Enjoy:

While catching up at Black Eiffel this morning, I fell in love with these images and the whole idea of Alvhem. According to darling Rachel: “Alvehm is a site where you can find Swedish homes for sale with lovely styled interiors like those pictured here.

Hang Em Awl

March 3, 2009

Okay. The photo isn’t glamorous. But. If you hang pictures very often (raising my hand) then I’m thinking this is the greatest new tool ever. Tiny. Reusable. And very clever. There’s a real-time 2 minute video of how to use it on their site. What’s the saying? The simplest ideas are often the best ones. [...]

Young Einstein Party Food & Decorations

March 2, 2009

Maude’s Young Einstein party was on Saturday. It was a hit! Maybe the favorite birthday party we’ve ever hosted. Decorations were simple — green balloons hung upside down and circles featuring portraits of Einstein that coordinated with the invitations we’d designed. (They matched the party favors as well.) The first part of the party was [...]
