my new best buddy

My thirst for traditional favorites with modern themes has been quenched for today, all thanks to Bud by designroom.  They have added wicked style to baby and toddler staples, making them irresistible necessities.   Every kid needs a rubber duckie to make bath time fun, right?   Well,  say no to boring yellow and yes to Rock Duck!  And what cooler place could there be to save for college than McPig?  Keep baby full and tidy with Bud's fantastic bottle and bib sets.  Hailing form Melbourne, Australia, all  Luxury Ducks, Posh Pigs, and Bud Baby Sets come perfectly packaged and ready to give - or if you're like me, to keep.  You can check out the full line of products here, and buy select items at elsewares and other stores.

Hip Kid Art's slogan is "one of a kind cool", and they're not kidding.  Made-to-order canvases, personalized with your child's name, are available in so many great designs, you're sure to find one that expresses you're little one's unique style.  A Hip Kid canvas is an essential addition to every modern nursery.  Here are  some of my favorites - check out their website to see the complete design gallery.

oh, lori

Ok, so my girlfriend directed me to the website of Lori Joy Smith, and the smile on my face could not be any bigger.  How have I not seen this before??  Better late than never, I guess. 
Lori is primarily an illustrator of children's books and greeting cards, but in visiting her website, you'll see a charming variety of paintings, fabric art and more.  Her work is  endearingly atypical;  definitely cute, but in no way ordinary.  Check out Lori's super fun website - in addition to seeing all her amazing work, you can get wallpapers, send e-cards, and most importantly, buy originals in the "little store".  I can't think of a better gift than one of these brilliant pieces!  Lori even does custom work, made especially for your child.
I don't know about you, but my heart is full, thanks especially to the little Orange Bird.

dangerous style

Though simple and utterly functional, Deadly Squire's designs are anything but ordinary.  Designed by artists Anna and Tim Harrington, all of the products are available in a delightful array of their very own fabrics. In addition to the bib and changing pad, there are many other offerings that would lend greatly to the fashion forward mom and pop.  Avert outright tradition and knock 'em dead.
