Rhubarb & Apples

Hurray! It's almost the weekend

Time to have some fun

Three vintage wooden toys

To get you in the mood...

Bend Me, Shape Me, Any Way You Want Me...

Some bright and bendy vintage goodness to start the day.
Like many, I loved these wooden push puppets when I was a child.
Why not start a collection? They're not very expensive and would look lovely grouped together on a little shelf in a nursery or child's room.

Chigo Playthings

Wooden camera

I've officially fallen in love with these beautiful wooden toys from Japanese design company Chigo. Established in 2005 to provide a range of simple, design-led products for children, Chigo has struck the right note with its Playthings line of handmade, all-natural, locally-sourced wooden toys, reminiscent of Creative Playthings' vintage products in the States. Have a look for yourself -

Wooden cellphone

Wooden spinning tops

Wooden bowling set

Chigo also sell an interesting range of accessories, books, clothes, furniture and bits and bobs (lovely desk mobiles).

Stacking cabinet "Tree" for kids - Landscape Products

A Book of Spoons - Jasper Morrison

Wooden tableware set

You can order online but their site is mostly in Japanese. I'll let you know when I manage to figure it all out... definitely one to watch, n'est-ce pas?

Oh, my!

Vintage handpainted block circus folk from Three Potato Four.

I wish I had enough pennies in my pocket to buy these little fellows. Boo, hoo! Sob, sob!
