Okay, I know it’s still July. And it’s, oh, just a little bit hot outside. A bit sticky here in the Midwest at least. But I came across these darling wool coats and capes for Fall/Winter 2009 today. They’re by Patouche out of Canada. Patouche’s fall line was inspired by Little-Red-Riding-Hood’s wander through the woods [...]

Sophisticated but fun fabrics. Attention to detail like I’ve never seen. Meticulous contrasting linings, reverses and edging. Beautiful construction. All of these describe Hoot Baby’s lovely designs for little girls. Dresses, tunics, skirts, bloomers – all of Hoot Baby’s pieces look delicious enough for a special occasion. And yet, they’re fun and not fancy, frilly [...]

When I was little, I had a beautifully handmade Raggedy Ann Doll. She had embroidered facial features and perfectly looped yarn hair on her flat, round head. She was lovely and I wish I knew where she was now. Is she at my mother’s house? Did one of my sisters steal her? Hello? Jill? Cara? [...]

Today’s special showcase on Etsy was baby and children’s items. And I spied these darling little pre-walkers by evie lala from Melbourne, Australia. They’re handmade from cotton or linen with a soft corduroy sole. Perfect. And darling. $25. The sheep? Her name is Charlotte. And I just love her. (She’s $35.)

I look at hundreds and hundreds of dresses, crib sets, rocking chairs, shoes, hair bows and the like. Only the ones that make me smile or [...]

These scrumptious critters by Murdock Design were in Etsy‘s Baby Showcase today. Irresistible. The prints and colors are wonderful. The sewing appears to be excellent. The perfect addition to a beautiful nursery? They’re $30 apiece.

Graphic designers love fonts and color. Interior designers love form, texture, color and more. The world is shrinking and the line between graphic design and interior design is fading. When I look at these prints by ModernPop, I can’t help but see the child’s room designed around them. Clean and crisp. With bursts of bold [...]

I‘ve been remiss. I’ve been swamped with other work and kids and life and stuff. I have had a little time for networking 140 characters at a time over on Twitter. Check us out at http://twitter.com/sassyandgeorge The coolest thing about Twitter is discovering tens, dozens, twenties, hundreds of new, cool products and businesses. And I [...]
