I’ve been out of the studio for a few weeks and excited to get back to work. I’m so thrilled to have a new website and branding in the next month or so. I hope you’ll stay in touch. I’m sharing a bunch of new work with the launch as well. In the meantime, aren’t these prints so sweet? I saw the owner of Cuddlefish Press at the Renegade Craft Fair here in SF before the holidays. These prints are customizable with a baby’s name or another message. I picked one up for my dear niece, Lydia. I can’t wait to see it.

Have you seen Rookie Mag yet? Awesome online mag for the hippest teens.

My husband just sent me the link to a fabulous project there called The Loog Guitar. This is a great product that kids will love. One of the best things you can do for children is encourage them to be curious and learn for themselves. This product not only allows you to put it together with your child (thereby giving them more ownership compared to buying one off the shelf) but it also introduces music to them in a way that makes it easy to get started. I love it and I’m glad to see they have surpassed the money they needed to fund it. Bravo!

Last Summer Joe and I were walking through Hayes Valley, one of our favorite SF neighborhoods. We encountered a woman sitting at a little desk, selling her artwork. I bought a few tiny original drawings from her. She told me she collaborates on every piece through the name Scuba Art Collective. I just loved those tiny drawings and thought about their work several times over the last few months but had forgotten their name.

Serendipitously, a few weeks ago I saw that Propeller was selling more of Scuba’s work. I was so delighted. I thought I’d share their whimsical and endearing imagery with you. I think children in particular would love this work. They are selling all over the place now. I should have bought more less Summer, darn. Go check out their site,  here. Or put one in your collection, here.

Happy weekend to you! Can you believe we are expecting snow in San Francisco? I think all of these weatherman are going to disappoint Northern California kids, everywhere. It couldn’t be sunnier right now…

1. Spinner Board Games | Three Potato Four offers an excellent vintage find: 50′s Spinner Board Games at $35.00 a pop. Hurry, their stuff goes fast!
2. Baby Blocks Walker | A favorite push toy of my son’s. Pushing, stacking and piling. What else would a new toddler want for Christmas?
3. Early Learning Puzzle by Kid O-Matching Shades | The graduated colors of these circles lead children to appreciate the fantastic array of shades the world has to offer and distinguish subtle differences.
4. Eames House Blocks | In the true Eames spirit, your kids can create a ligneous yard sale on your living room rug while you’re in deep conversation with your guests, then build this living landmark to demonstrate how you are properly introducing them to important bits of culture. I’ll be purchasing this for our home. Excellent!
5. Wooden Fishing Set | The charming magnetic fish and sea creatures in this set are made of natural wood finished with linseed oil. Kids can “go fishing” anywhere! A perfect gift from avid fishing grandparents, like mine.
6. Zooborns! | A book about the newest, cuetest zoo animals around the world. A friend of mine put together this absolutely adorable book.  You should also check out Zooborns for all ages. It was just released in October and has already made #12 best selling book in the country!
7. Zen Wagon | I love this little wagon! Your kid will be the stylish kid on 4 wheels!
8. Chalk Table Set | Kids love chalk, why not give them a table to use all the time to display their artistic talents or play a game of tic tac toe. It’s also simple, which keeps it from being an eyesore in the room.
9. Tool Box | I’ve been looking all over a tool box since there is always a hammer, screwdriver or tape measure lying around our place. Kids can now participate in helping out the handy Dad or Mom without damaging the furniture, walls or themselves!
10. Toy Vehicle | Ikea’s autblock version, yet at a dirt cheap price. Only $9 for a package of 3. We all secretly love Ikea.

I hope I have helped inspire some ideas! Happy Shopping!

XO, Regan
