Last Friday, we received a wonderful surprise in the post, all the way from Buenos Aires. The super talented Adriana Torres sent us this delightful crochet lion rattle in a bed. I have long been a fan of Adriana’s handmade creations which include adorable crochet toys, blankets and home wares. This little lion with his beautiful blanket and bed is super cute and has already charmed my daughter (and me!). Adriana’s brand is Miga de Pan where you can see more of her work or if you’d like to buy any of her creations, you’ll find a selection at Couverture. If you haven’t come across Miga de Pan before then I seriously urge you to take a look… you won’t be disappointed. And of course, a huge thanks to Adriana for this very special delivery.

Pretty pastels…
July 24, 2012
I’m sure my heart stopped for a second when I fell upon the exquisite store and goodies of Mimmi Staaf, a designer and upholsterer from Stockholm. The first thing I saw was a sea of pastels which were at once soft yet striking… lots of furniture in pale blues, purples and pinks that are oh so pleasing to the eye and would be fit for mama or baby.
On digging further I found that Mimmi re-styles and restores old furniture which she sells along with other delectable pieces for the home and for kids. Take this little elephant stool or that origami mobile; both are beautiful pieces with lots of charm and style. That’s what you can expect to find across Mimmi’s store and I also love that practically all her offerings will appeal to any age.
Mimmi also makes some stunning crochet pieces including baby blankets, bedspreads and stool covers. The way in which she is able to combine colours and bring pieces to life is nothing short of exquisite. Mimmi’s store is dripping with style and the only bit of bad news is that she doesn’t yet sell online but from what I could decipher (through google translate) I think she might start soon. In the meantime visit her site Mimmi Staaf or head to Stockholm and visit the store… I know I want to.
Stunning: Crochet toys and blankets from Argentina
January 13, 2012
When I saw these crochet toys, I was besotted. Admittedly I’m a bit of a crochet junkie but these toys and crochet blankets are possibly the most beautiful ones I’ve ever come across. They’re made in sunny Argentina by a mama who clearly has lots and lots of talent, imagination and creativity. I’m loving the lion rattle with his gorgeous little crochet bed and blanket. The elephant toy is lovely too as are the blankets. In fact it’s all quite stunning! I’m also loving the colours… mostly soft tones but sometimes complimented with a hint of colour. I could go on and on but I’ll leave you to discover the rest at Miga de Pan. There doesn’t seem to be a shop yet but you can email the mama in question if you’d like to buy. I’m so, so tempted!
P.S. Have you seen these crochet fish bones?
