Goodbyn Lunchboxes

I'm not quite ready to think about "back to school" yet and I'm certainly not ready to drop C off at her first day of pre-school either. I know it will probably be much like pulling the Band-Aid off but, still, I'm not ready. I know she's ready though - desperate to keep up with her big sister! My friend, Robin, sent me this link to these Goodbyn lunchboxes yesterday. They're new to me and I'm so, so thrilled to have found the perfect lunch box! They come with sheets of stickers so your kids can decorate them however their creative streak takes them. The best part though, is that they are BPA and phthalate-free. I'm getting two!

Risom Rocker

Just yesterday, I was reading my newest Dwell magazine and read the most inspiring story about mid-century furniture designer Jens Risom. Out of the big names such as Knolls, Eames, Nelson, Bertoia and a few others, Jens is the only surviving designer. At the age of 93, Risom continues to design furniture for DWR and Pucci and hasn't skipped a beat in designing his classicly beautiful pieces. In fact, I think his newest works are possibly my favorite of his designs. All of this led me to find the gorgeous Risom Rocker designed exclusively for DWR. Now if I were to have a third child, I wouldn't hesitate to find the excuse to buy one for myself (not that I ever felt the need to own a rocker with my two girls) - it would undoubtedly wind up being a classic piece, don't you think?

Mibo Wise Guys

I found these little guys patiently waiting in my inbox this morning and had to share! From the company that brought us their bold and beautiful lamp shades, Mibo has just come up with this darling little family of Wise Guys as a downloadable/print-at-home-able kit for your very own. A fun DYI project when you have a little free time: simply print, cut and fold. You can bet that I'm putting these fellas in the "rainy day" category when my 7 year old experiences one of her "so bored" moments - this ought to perk things up a bit!
