I always loved those shops where there are mini shopping carts for the little ones. Daughters love to help their mums, especially at shopping. Like carrying the shopping bags.

This extremely sweet bags are the product of the german TISCH5.

It will be hard to talk about this without sounding stupid. I promise I was always good at physics, but this is that area that I was only amazed by, never really understood. And it was a long time ago. The older the stupider. Anyway. I love this.

Rhea Jeong korean designer made this record player that is operating with magnetic and auto-calibrating control. Don’t ask. In that little red sphere there is a needle, amplifier and speaker, and it spins around the record giving life to the music.

I am only hoping that this is really possible.

Do you know those long obligatory family events you were trying to avoid all your life? I always tried to sabotage it in one way or another. Discreetely but amusingly.

Now I know what I need for the next occasion.

Would anyone like some tea perhaps?

I was told I should post more often. It is a bit hard to do so when there is unusually nice weather in Ireland and my heart is thumping as well. But it is raining today, it is a day to stay in and be useful. So here you are.

I am still a big fan of balloon. Luckily there are some artists who make it possible for me to admire them even at this age.

I have to admit I put on many things as clothing, but I never thought of balloons before. Until now.

Daisy is a balloon artist fascinated by fashion, but not so much by sustainable design. Her creativity is amazing.

But these give me a few ideas…

When I was a kid I was always amazed by magicians. Especially by the act where they would cut someone up. I mean, when they wouldn’t really. And even though I find it hard to imagine a home where this would fit in, I could not resist this multipurpose closet!

Unfortunately this piece of furniture is only a concept yet by Rafael Morgan.

The Swan, whose name’s origin is not hard to guess, was born as a table lamp, but with years has grown into a big floor lamp we adore. The designer is the finnish Eero Aarnio.

During the past week I learned that laptops don’t like tea. Not at all. So excuse me for an other long hiatus, but I broke my good old loyal laptop. It is still very crippled. I may as well buy one of these!

Of course still only an idiot (and me) places a mug of tea next to the laptop, but it does look a little bit safer on a  lap desk. It is available in many different patterns.

I’m sure you all think that was it, the blog is gone, finished, caput. But fear not. We just took a long break to celebrate a 30th birthday.

And what a better way to return than with a very unusual juicer.

This UFO, diguised as a kitchen utensil is decorated with Space Invaders lookalikes and has a big weird alien sitting inside, serving as a juice reamer. Get it for 15 dollars.

Shelves. Horizontal lines on the wall. Not much variety. At least that is how I saw it when I was a kid. But this one… this one would have made me really happy!

Actually, it would still do.

I might be too picky this week, but nothing inspired me! Nothing, except this amazing dress. Maybe because my birthday is coming up, and I am looking for a new dress to celebrate it! Donations are very welcome!

The designer is Emily Ryan, whose Etsy shop simply takes our breath away!

Ok, that was me for the week, now I am going to lost myself in the joys of working through the weekend. You all have a nice one!

Finishing a good book is a bit sad. I always want to start it all over again straight away. Instead, I keep picking it up for another few days. What I would really like to do though is to stick it up on my wall so I can look at it any time. And why the hell not!

Whether you liked it too much or you love the artwork, show off your books with these “Totally Novel Picturebook Frames”!

It’s Easter. For me this is the time to eat lots of chocolate eggs, enjoy a few days off, enjoy spring and sunshine (not in Ireland though!), and it also means that all my friends are out of town. So I just sit at home and cook and bake. For example, with this.

Get your Jesus cookie cutter here.

Do you remember the  colouring wallpaper? This is the same, only better. Colour in your dress!

Berber Soepboer fashion designer and Michiel Schuurman graphic designer created together this colouring dress in 2008, but I love it black and white just as much. Beautiful design, beautiful pattern!

It’s late at night. You are not sleepy enough to go to bed, but you are too tired to do anything useful. You are a bit pekish, but you shouldn’t really eat anything this late. The solution? Some stupid game and a few bits of olives, of course! Maybe like this.

I know you were always told not to play with your food, but here is your chance!

The design is by Barnaby Barford and Andre Klauser. Available at Greener Grass Design.

The two best things in life are sleeping and eating. Clothing comes second best (just do not make me decide between dresses and shoes!).  So of course when I come across anything that mixes any of these, my eyes pop out and my heart beats faster.

Let’s see how it looks when we cross cushions with abstract dresses?

It seems, luckily for us, the french designer, Geraldine Husson can’t really make up her mind about what she wants to design, so she keeps creating these beautiful hybrids.

I want the whole collection, right here, right now.

Everyone hates carrier bags. Even if they are canvas bags. The way to the shop with and empty bag is simply not cool. It is, of course, another matter entirely, if it is a book in our hands.

Lizania Cruz designed this “bookbag” for some lucky top customers.

Here goes my favourite question again: what is on the photo?

We would like to think it is meant to watch your dog while you are out, but it is not. The italian Paxton designed this object to hold your products in windows and shops.

Coco is not only stylish and modern. It is very versatile, available in different colours, has built in LED spotlights and sure to spice up your window display or shop interior.

I know there are quite a few umbrella posts on here lately, but the rainy months are coming up and anyway. Who could resist a cloud umbrella?

The stick of the umbrella is also a functional pump.

The designer, Joons motivation was ‘happiness’ on the gloomy days.

It definitely would make me smile!
