My niece heads off to London for school in the fall so I’m putting together a list of things for her to to bring back starting with these fantastic wooden toys from Miller Goodman. UK designers David Goodman and Zoe Miller, the creators of these great designs, hope to encourage creative play for both children and adult.

Just discovered the amazing collage illustrations of Japanese artist, Keitaro Sugihara. Wish I knew a little bit more about him but for now I am happy just to take in the beauty and wonder of his work. He does write in his profile:
“Currently working on various art projects that warmth can be felt, regardless of genre and style.”

Found these fun stools on the Swedish online shop, Mokkasin. The stools are manufactured by a German company, Taj Wood & Scherer. The pillow cover is a great way to add additional colors to the simple stool. Going to mimic this at home. No sense in anyone having to sit on a cold or uncomfortable stool.

Would love to have a few of these stools created by the Brazilian firm, Furf Design Studio. They would be great for my little nieces and nephews, who for the most part can actually be very, very good. Furf describes themselves as follows:
“We are a company, a studio, a school and mainly a team. We create with what best defines Furf: irreverence and elegance.”

Thought this was a great way to introduce your child to the art of sewing. The apron kit is sold under the Japanese brand, Codomondocoto. It comes with everything you need to hand sew the apron. Unfortunately, the kit is not available here but if you put some creative thought to it you could probably put your own age-appropriate craft kits together.

Always seem to find something to like at Japanese online store, Mitsubai Tokyo. Today it’s this bird night-light, which you can plug directly to the wall socket or purchase with a stand and cord attachment. It certainly makes for a great ambience in the evening.

My little niece loved to give tea parties with anyone willing to participate. Think she could have used these children’s furniture sets from Japanese store, First Chair Ferronnier. It would have been the perfect setting for her parties.
