Sweet Saturdays * handmade retro loveliness by Marianne Norup
Today I like... No, that's not the right way to put it... Today, I am totally going nuts over Marianne Norup's cute webshop Dig-Mig. Her retro music boxes and dolls are so cute that I just cannot decide which one to choose...
Zo mooi, de poppen, speenkoorden en muziekdozen van Marianne Norup. De Deense verhuisde naar Nederland en startte er haar eigen webwinkel met zelfgemaakte retro kinderaccessoires. Ik ben er van overtuigd dat Dig-Mig nog heel groot wordt!

We're leaving for Playtime Paris in a week from now and we're really excited about discovering new little gems, like French brand onZeDanceFlore. I hope to get to meet designer, so my curious self can ask her what her brand actually means.
Anyone else heading to Playtime? Care to join us for a cup of café au lait?

Travelling Thursdays * New Life Hotels
You think this time we've got it all wrong. This can not be a kids' hotel. But it is. Haus Hirt in Austria is even much more than that! It is a New Life hotel with yoga courses for future mums, a special massage program for pregnant women and even a midwife in house. Be aware, it will be hard to get in during winter time, when dads ski, kids are in the mini club and mums can enjoy their pregnancy.
Op mijn lijstje sinds mijn eerste zwangerschap: een trip naar het design New Life Hotel Haus Hirt in Oostenrijk. Met een skipiste voor papa, een miniclub voor je baby en massages voor de zwangere bijna-mama. Dat is duidelijk waarom, niet?
* The places you'll go: Haus Hirt in Bad Gaststein, Austria
* The clothes you'll wear: Snuggling bathrobes with trousers in ecological materials from Splash About
* The things you take: Ecological heating cushions from Senger. After all, it is a ski resort.

Sunny Sundays * Garden Play Houses
We have built my daughter and her little neighbor friends a tiny playhouse in the garden as a birthday present. But now I need to make up my mind with regards to colors: all white? Or Scandinavian red? Which color do you prefer?
Anna-Lune kreeg voor haar verjaardag een speelhuisje, wat ik nu wil gaan 'aankleden'. Romantisch wit? Of eerder rood of zwart? Help!

Scandinavian Saturdays * It's all in the Detail
This Norwegian brand might be pretty new to you, because even in the rest of Europe we do not hear a lot about them. Every Dundelina collection is based upon a children's book by Norwegian writer Roald Kaldestadt. I like the little details of their collections... like the bees and the butterflies you can find on every wee dress.
Wat leuk, al die details in de collectie van Dundelina. Vlindertjes en bijtjes op elk kledingstuk. Voor meisjes van 2 tot 10 jaar.

Wake up to the French countryside. It feels as if Noro Paris themselves have been staying in one of these farms when designing their summer collection 2012.
Jammer genoeg zijn de boerderijen van Un lit au pre al volledig uitgeboekt voor deze zomer. Ik had meteen een weekje op het platteland in Frankrijk willen reserveren! Volgend jaar dan maar!

* The clothes you'll wear: Lovely retro French - Noro Paris
* The things you'll take along: Esschert Design horse, via webshop Woonkeet.nl

ToutPetit Tuesdays * Beewax Crayons
I bought my girl some beewax crayons over the weekend. Just thought they would be so much easier for a one-year old to start coloring. She loved it!
Anna-Lune probeerde dit weekend voor het eerst wasco krijtjes uit. Smaakte goed, tekende gemakkelijker, ... Een kleine kunstenaar in spe!

Sleepy Sundays * Dutch Design for Kids
Thijs and Kevin have always dreamt about being a knight (ridder) and a clown. Today they are grown-up designers, but you can still spot their inner child. This bed is the perfect kids' place: a place to play, a place for yoga, a place to read bedtime stories, ... By Ridder & Clown.
Een beroep als Ridder & Clown, daar droomden Thijs en Kevin van als kind. Hun nieuwste kinderbed geeft kleine mensen alvast alle mogelijkheden te dromen.

Freebie Fridays * Kewpie Doll Labels
Did you know that this litlle doll's name 'Kewpie' is derived from 'Cupid'? And that it was first produced exactly 100 years ago in Germany?
Ik heb me altijd al afgevraagd of deze poppetjes ook een naam hadden. En dat hebben ze: Kewpie! Van het Latijnse 'Cupido'; 'Cupid' in het Engels. Ze zijn zelfs al meer dan 100 jaar oud...
Cinti van My Poppet heeft er superschattige labels van gemaakt. Je downloadt de gratis printplaat hier.

ToutPetit Tuesdays * la bella Ella
May I proudly present: my little girl through the lens of Tanja de Maesschalk. Ella usually shies away from cameras, but opened up in front of Tanja. I really could not believe my eyes. But then again, Tanja is not just a fabulous photographer, she just is a truly lovely lady! Gifted, genuine and giggly...
Mag ik jullie voorstellen: mijn kleine meisje door de lens van Tanja de Maesschalk. Het kindje dat altijd wegkijkt of wegloopt als je haar op gevoelige plaat probeert vast te leggen, bloeide helemaal open voor de camera van Tanja. Ik kon m'n ogen niet geloven. Maar Tanja is dan ook niet zomaar een fantastische fotografe, nee, Tanja is gewoon ook een mooi, warm mens!

Sweet Sundays * Tea Party
As a little girl I used to play 'tea party' all the time and my little Ellabella seems to be enjoying it as much as I do. Her dolls and cuddly toys need to share chairs as she likes to think big and invite the whole lot. She would just looove this party setting by Mokkasin.
