What a funny little owl!!! Our new Owl mobile really has attitude..with a cheeky look on his face and sitting all proud on his little branch!!!! This is a new style of mobile I tried last year and it really has turned out lovely!! I included some freinds for Mr Owl..a spotty dear, cheeky squirrel, a bunny and a funny blue bird...such a happy bunch!! We also developed a matching pair of bookends to compliment the owl story..cute or what???

These amazing toys are from Rubbabu in India..made from 100% super safe rubber and

non toxic cellulose flocking..they are so soft and squidgy..children love them.

My favourites are the magnetic letters and numbers so children can feel and handle these letters at an early age..a great aide in introducing children to the world of literacy and numeracy.

The magnets are embedded in the rubber and 100%safe .

The range also includes a great game of Tic Tac Toe..with large pieces in bright yellow..so they are easily distinguished and recognized.

The mini animal wheelies are also soething special..animal figures with wheels so you can push them around...and so squishy!!!!!

These toys are so colourful, so soft so tactile..they are soooooo good..you will be hooked!!

new tweetie birdcage

Just love love love this new item!! Whimsical, sweet, delicate..and totally handmade!!

Would look great in alittle girls room, or even a big girls room! ..no 2 alike..all hand made by my driver Gusti and his wife and a few women helpers in their village in central Bali.

Gusti and I worked together to create this gorgeous piece, travelling all over the capital Denpasar looking for trimmings, ribbons, beads, flowers ..no mean feat as there were not many choices around. Some of the little stores we looked in were like aladdins caves with all sorts of bits and bobs..I remember climbing up a ladder into the roof cavity of one place.where they had stashed a supply of old velvet ribbon...still don't know how I got out as the space was so small and crowded and HOT HOT HOT!!!!!!! But I did find ONE roll of pink velvet ribbon and ONE roll of mint velvet ribbon...that made me happy.

Was it worth it?? OFCOURSE!!! This went on for several days till we had a nice stash of goodies to work with. Then we could not find the little birds anywhere so another of my resourceful Balinese freinds asked his brother to carve some up for us..GREAT!!!!

So this item is TOTALLY handmade, created with loads of love and laughs......and its absolutely GORGEOUS too!!

The results speak for them selves!!!

trying to create a new look blog..

Sounds complicated..well it is...especially when it comes to following instuctions with directions like HTML, monetize, bl bla..BUT so far so good..and doesn't it look pretty......

Keep checking us out...
