Soaring Love

Miss Mimoko you make me smile.

Your work just keeps on getting better and better!

Hands up those who'd love to have one of Misako's handmade Valentine's greeting kites...

Yes, I'm not surprised, but she's only making seven, so do keep an eye on her shop, they fly off fast.

I hope you all have a wonderful, fun and relaxing weekend. Please don't forget to vote for Kickcan & Conkers in the Homies, it won't take a tick, and I'd be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Let's Golo

Well, just because I've made it through to the finals of The Homies and I'm trying to drum up some support (a huge thanks to those who've already voted), doesn't mean to say that we can't have a bit of fun around here. I mean, that's what it's all about isn't it?

So, I have a new Czech word for you - GOLO, nice in'it? 

What's even nicer is all the wonderful things you can make with it, I mean, with a GOLO

And what's nicer still is that GOLOS are both child and environment-friendly (3 years and up) EN-certified eco-toys made by people who care.

I want a GOLO, don't you?

You really should have a look at the rest of Karel Makovsky's site, there are some lovely wooden jigsaws and toys on there. Thank you once again Marie for sharing such wonderful treasures!

Hey, I"m back!

Two days rest, early to bed, early to rise,

and I feel on top of the world!

And, I have some great news...

I made it through to the Best Kids Design Blog Finals for the Homies!

Unbelievable! Thank You! A last-minute attempt and I'm through to the top 10.

The competition is tough, and I have little chance of winning, but if I make you smile, if you enjoy my unusual finds, if you're a K&C fan or a newcomer to this fun (I hope!)place,...

 I'd appreciate your support.

You can only vote once

and it's over here

Kickcan and Conkers

Modern and Vintage for Kids and The Young at Heart!

Merci!

The Homies 2009

Beautiful softie by nechepurenka

Well, I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise, somebody has nominated Kickcan & Conkers as one of their favourite Kids blogs in Apartment Therapy's The Homies awards! Golly gosh, little me among all the heavyweights after 6 months on the web! Thank You! I usually shy a way from things like this and clearly have little chance of winning but if you think that K&C somehow deserves to be in the running as one of the best kid's blogs in 2009 I'd be very grateful if you voted for me! Nominations are open for one week. The top 6 contenders will be posted on December 29th then there will be one more week of voting to find the number one site. If you think that K&C has got it what it takes to make a good "Kids" blog, if I've at all brought any pleasure to you or your little ones with my thoughts and finds you are welcome to nominate me here. Oh my, better get my breakfast now! After Morning Coffee and Ursonate, Apple Juice and Yabloki, Chicory and Chiqismiki, this one's definitely Honey Toast and Homies!

Quel réveil ! A ma grande surprise, quelqu'un vient de nominer Kickcan & Conkers comme blog préféré dans la catégorie "Enfant" des récompenses "The Homies" organisées par Apartment Therapy ! Moi parmi les grands au bout de 6 mois sur le web ! D'habitude je ne participe pas à ce genre de chose et il est évident que j'ai très peu de chance de gagner, mais si vous pensez que mon journal mérite d'être nominé et a ce qu'il faut pour être considéré comme une bonne adresse 'Enfant', je vous serais très reconnaissante si vous votez pour moi ! Le concours se déroule sur deux semaines; vous avez jusqu'au 29 déc pour sélectionner les six premiers sites dans chaque catégorie, puis une semaine de plus pour choisir le gagnant. Vous pouvez voter pour Kickcan & Conkers ici. Quel joli cadeau de Noel ! C'est tellement agréable de savoir qu'on a apporté quelque chose à quelqu'un quelque part dans le monde... Merci !
