Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

With the sun peeking through the clouds of April showers, we once again have outdoor activities on our minds.

This is absolutely one of our favourite products by this amazing company. The solid wood picnic basket holds everything you need for a meal in the park or in your living room if there is a cloud burst.

Squirrel photo at Banff National Park

Click on the above photo to see the original larger photo in it’s entirety.

I was sorting through some photos from this past Summer (and what a Summer it was here in Vancouver!) when I was reminded of this photo. I meant to post it earlier, but it slipped my mind. The photo is timeless, and might just be the cutest photo ever! If you missed this earlier this summer, keep reading…

ABC3D Pop-up Book by Marion Bataille

Although the subject matter fits squarely in with the toddler set, the detail of the paper craft and the innovation of this pop-up book make it a great addition to any design collection or stack of books on the coffee table.

From the lenticular cover all the way through to Z, this book is a work of art. In a stark palette of black, white and red, the letters move and change before your eyes. C flips to become D, K kicks out its legs, a dash turns O and P into Q and R, the U is created with a delicate paper bridge and V mirrors itself to become W.

The ABC3D book is available in store now, and coming to our online store soon.

What’s Miss Maggie Doing? Canoeing on Alouette Lake

Miss Maggie goes canoeing (intro)

Ever since little Miss Maggie came into our lives back in March of 2007, she’s been stealing hearts everywhere she goes. Her first day home, she was curled up in her basket at dandelion KIDS, and she can often be found at our Commercial Drive location or our new Port Moody shop – wherever I (Maria) happen to be working that day. Unless she’s spending time with Vince and the boys (the most amazing dogsitters) or with any of her other friends. You can see her lighting up the faces of the many children (and adults) that stop by the shop. She also lets the neighborhood dogs know who’s turf they’re on! Sometimes you might have to look very hard to find her, because she might be curled up in the window display taking advantage of the sun.

Check out a few pictures of Miss Maggies latest adventure – canoeing on Alouette Lake. I think we’ve found her new favourite pastime… but I wonder if she just likes sporting the orange PFD (from Three Dog Bakery) and being the ‘mermaid’ at the front of the canoe.

Check back later to see what else Miss Maggie has been up to!
