Happy Holidays and Christmas Cheer!
This is by far our favourite window yet. With all the joyful comments we get from everyone who stops to look, we think it may be yours too? Our winter still life reminds us and many of you of the old Woodward’s Christmas windows. If you haven’t been by recently, we encourage you to stop by and see it in person.

Theatre de L’Aventure by Nathalie L’Ete.
We absolutely adore this gorgeous and magical puppet theatre. It is the perfect size for several kids to put on fantastic puppet shows together yet it doesn’t take up too much space. Although it is so charming, we wouldn’t even mind if it did!
We also have a smaller but equally enchanting items by this wonderfully talented artist. Find a beautiful tea set, puzzles, a memory game, magnets, buttons and small mirrors in store and online.
Nathalie L’Ete was born in 1964. She lives and works in Paris. She works in many ways, mixing different techniques and mediums, illustration, ceramics, textile and painting… she is inspired by her travels, but also by the mixing of vintage toys and old engravings of flowers and animals. Her work is colourful, naive and poetic, sometimes strange, to the point of tending towards art brut. Her world is nurtured by popular and folk art.
Our lovely friend Erin at Collage Collage has an assortment of puppets and marionettes that would be a welcome addition to this theater.

We were ecstatic to find out we would be showcased in the latest edition of the eat.shop Vancouver (http://eatshopguides NULL.com/cities/vancouver/) guide.
We were even happier with what they said. We think the last line is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about us. Thank you eat.shop!
Here’s what they had to say about us:
I think it is a form of discrimination that us non-parent types have no one to dress up in the adorable children’s clothes sold at Dandelion Kids. I felt a twinge of envy as I watched parents and grandparents sort through the vast choices here that will help make their youngsters positively fetching. But when I look at a tiny pair of Vans, I think to myself, I could hang those from my rear view mirror, or use them to serve bridge mix. I know that these ideas seem downright desperate, so I’ll just accept that I can buy great gifts here. Parents, please know how lucky you are to have Dandelion Kids.
