The Land of the Rising Sun.

It's been a while since we've had some good Japanese products to post about....but that will be changing very soon.
Tokyo - here we come! We'll be back with more goodies in a couple of weeks!

What a stylish set of drawers...
Small ones for little hair accessories and big ones for trucks, drums, even walkers!
By Takeshi Miyakawa Design from, of course, Tokyo.......!! I heart Japan.

Still on my bib hunt!
This set (bib and burp cloth), from thefreckledelephant features terrycream backing to ensure no spills seep through.
I love the Japanese umbrella design. So symbolic of the intriguing and ancient Japanese culture and traditions.
There is so much to experience in Japan......oh well, only 5 months to go till we can be there, amongst it all.

While on a bib hunt, I came across this cute little bib and burper set.
From Etsy store, littlethingsboutique - I am getting hyped for our trip to Japan already!

I couldn't help smiling when I saw this cute bundle of bunnies, popping out of their carrot!
Made by squishable, who ship to Australia. Very cute products and an even cuter site!

This would be very nice for a newborn Christening, though I think our Holly would have dirtied it quickly. She's such a busy girl these days!
Made by Eeni Meeni Miini Moh and available from Cocoon.
I just found wild walnut, an Australian specialist of all things organic - for everyone, including bubs.
This cool kimono particularly caught my eye. It is made using certified organic cotton - no nasty chemicals here!

Totoro Tissue Box Cover. If you haven't seen the Japanese Anime Totoro, I highly recommend you do so.

It's out of stock and we can see why.......this Candy onsie from Harajuku Lovers is superb. Usually available at Kidostore.

We hope everyone has enjoyed the festive season and greets the new year full of energy!
I'm not one for resolutions, but I read an interesting take on them recently.....rather than set out to 'do' certain things through out the year, write the list as if it is the end of 2008 and you are reflecting on your accomplishments. I feel this requires a bit more honesty and realism.
If we end 2008, and all we've achieved is our trip to Japan (booked for Sept) - I will be very happy!

Felt and crochet toys are all the rage right now. Minifashionista are currently selling this funky felt mini sushi set by Lily Bean. Too cool!

For the next 6 weeks, I aim to find the coolest Xmas Stockings on the web. I'll publish 1 or 2 each week.
This cool Hello Kitty one is available from Etsy via Holly Jolly Holidays store.

You can't go wrong in a shirt designed by Fashionista Mum, Gwen Stefani. This 'super cute' T is inspired by our favourite place, Tokyo!
Available from Kidostore.



These cute wooden decals would a bit of eastern flavour to the nursery.
They can be purchased from Ten In The Bed. What a cool name for a shop??
My name is Katie Mackenzie. I have a gorgeous baby girl, and a husband who shares my appreciation for design. We hope to bring Holly up in a place that is full of fun, style and function. We have no room for clutter. And we are limited to products that are available to Australians. This blog summarises our efforts.
