In Hakone, Japan, years ago, I walked through the market and saw fish much like this. They were made from indigo dyed silks, some strung on small twigs or twine. From olula se casa.

Umbrella Girl
How cute is this? A box, hanging raindrops, a little handmade doll with scarf. Inspired! Umbrellas off to misako mimoko!
Desire Bath

Skimming the post, I read this:
"Remote connected to the Internet and intelligent home system, through which you can pre-enable the desired mode."
as this:
"...through which you can pre-enable the desire mode."
Perhaps it is the shape of the bath that made me think it would have a Desire Mode. Really it is aromatherapy. I suppose it might be nice to push some buttons in the kitchen and retire to a ready-made, aroma-ready bath.

Småkompisar
"Småkompisar are soft, feel-good companions for you, your friend, or someone you want to make happy. They will help put a smile on anyone's face. They encourage imagination and creativity, as well as sustainable values, friendship, love & kindness."
So far I think they are only available in Sweden, Europe, and Canada. I would love to track them down in the US and get some for Zoe for her 1st birthday next week.
The better Princess
Ugh, Disney Princesses. This is by far the better Princess. A role model for any little girl. Beautifully abstract.
Move over Tripp Trapp
I didn't think it possible, but the Hög Barnstol by Simpleworld Dine is a sleeker, more sculptural version of the adjustable child seat. Available at Smatt & Snyggt.
The missing ö
via mjolk.ca
When I met my husband and learned his last name, I have to admit, I was worried. Most Americans make us sound like back teeth. Even our dentist and his hygienists got a chuckle when we showed up for back-to-back appointments not long after we were married. "The Mollers are here for their cleanings!" They called through the office. Moller/Molar, yes, haha, very funny! Oy.
I always thought I would single-handedly bring the umlaut back to the Moller clan! I was going to fill out my new social security paperwork as Susan Möller. Even the guy at the passport desk at Schipol Airport could say our name with pizzaz - Moerler or something like that (small r in the middle). It sounded wonderful!
At last, I've found our ö. Can we, please, Mr. 9flights?
Buttons of color
Yes, please, I'll take several! This is just the thing for additional pillows for my Orange Tylosand.
