Salon Elfi at Pippikakka

Photo from Pippikakka

Who can not love these wonderful and happy candleholders for a little party?? I'm totally crazy about their fine colours and motifs, and I know that they would fit in very nicely on a birthday table in my house.

They are from the brilliant German company Salon Elfi. Enjoy their website and see all their fine things for children.

I had to show you these wonderful wooden toy bricks, too. So many magnificent castles could be built with them. And think of the patterns one could make.

I adore when people make a great effort to produce toys for children - like Salon Elfi.

All the toys can be found in a shop called Pippikakka - and many other shops I guess. A dream shop for those of you who still have smaller children (and for those of us who love the whimsy and childish stuff).

A little bit of etsy love

Photos from Rocket and bear

So many ways to keep a little baby warm...and to do it with style.  Go have a look at Rocket and Bear.

Practising...

...my plait skills on Anne-Sophie's long hair - while she's wearing some of Emil's confirmation clothes!! (I honestly don't know anyone who freezes more than her - always wrapped up in clothes, blankets and socks.)

I'm trying out new ways of doing the plaiting. I can tell by the look of the photo that I'm not quite there yet. Plaits have never looked good when they have been through my hands and fingers.

But most of all I was plaiting Anne-Sophie's hair because she needed a little break and some tender care, while spending hours and days preparing for her last 4 oral exams.
