because it's so nice to see a touch of colour amongst all the grey...

Inspiration: Collars and Ties

Old meets New

Formal but Fun

Dots and Flowers

Starch with a Swing...

I don't often feature kids' fashion on Kickcan & Conkers but who can resist Octobre Rose's collar and tie photo-collages?  I love Satine Violette's creations, remember?

A huge thank you to the 30 or so people who have voted for me in the Best Kids Design Blog category of the Homies. Keep 'em 'comin' please, you have until next Wednesday.

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!

Backflips for Breakfast

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

Merci!

Cups of Smiles

It's the little simple things

that make me smile

Aren't Fé's animal cups wonderful? 

She should start a small business

I would love to drink out of these everyday!

Jasmine

She looks a little sad here Jasmine, doesn't she?

Maybe she spent most of yesterday ill in bed like Miles and I -

Ahh, winter bugs, who needs 'em eh?

Un Grand Merci to all those that nominated me yesterday, it was all very last-minute...

I found Justine and her beautiful friend thanks to another very gifted soft toy maker Rose Miniscule. You really need to go have a look at her recent work  La Musette

Just what the Doctor ordered!
