Baby walker from the olden days

During our summer vacation in Croatia we decided to take a day trip to Slovenia to visit Postojna cave and the incredible Predjama castle where this living room is exhibited. I'd totally accept majority of this furniture:)

I am talking about the trip more over at EastOK Europe. Jump over to read more about Postojna. 
Predjama Castle is HAUNTED, great read for Halloween:) 

Baby puzzle by Caracolbaby

It is December, traffic jams in town...people shopping like crazy. I hate shopping! I know, I write about stuff all the time...but there is stuff...and there is stuff...if you know what I mean. When I buy/make presents for people, I really try to make it personal and meaningful, but I understand that is very hard. There is so much of everything around us. Cheap, more or less acceptable toys in supermarkets, stuff you can buy all in one place and just get it over with, because you don't have time nor energy to spend hours figuring out what would be that one special thing that person will cherish forever.

This year I am trying to focus on the local AND handmade. Support small businesses, buy stuff not every other person will have...like say this baby puzzle by Caracolbaby. Hand sewn to the last stitch, made of textile-leather...chewable and so wonderfully unique.

Lovey, puzzle, chewing toy and a design object all in one...exactly the sort of stuff I am looking for this year:)

How about you? What is on your gift list?

Baby bottles I love

I am not a huge bottle user. Baby I is already on sippy cup as far as bottles are concerned, so I will deffinitely not get to use Mimijumi with this baby. This bottle looks amazing, and we'd probably be the talk of the town if we flashed it around. I've never seen a bottle as beautiful as this one.

"The innovative nipple design replicates a mother’s breast, creating a natural feeding and latching experience for a happier and healthier bottle fed baby. Bold colors and soft textures are combined to give the Very Hungry bottle a distinctive, eye-catching appearance."

Pura however has a stainless steel bottle. Wow, right?!

 "Crafted from safe, anti-bacterial, #304 stainless steel, the same material used in milk pasteurization for years"
What is really cool with Pura bottles is that they are compatible with many types of spouts a nipples, even the sippy cup ones we are using. The newest addition to the collection are colored sylicone insulation sleeves.

I can totally see ourselves rocking orange sleeve on aqua blue bottle.
