Gather the little ones around the felt campfire, and make up a batch of smores in the oven! It's getting cold outside and it's time to cozy up indoors with forts full of pillows, fake campfires and real smores. This beautiful Donna Wilson House Throw is perfect thrown over the bed or couch, and quickly transforms two chairs into a cozy fort. No fort would be complete without a pile of pebble pillows, and our hold me tight blankets and pillows to snuggle up with !

Blabla Kids spotted in Undecorate!

2011-07-08T14:47:00.001-04:00

Have you had a peek at Christiane Lemieux's new book Undecorate? We finally got our hands on a copy and it's filled with creativity and inspiration. Twenty homes from around the country are featured, and we were extra excited to see a couple of Blabla dolls in the photos. I've always thought the Dwell Studio bedding for baby and Blabla were a perfect pair.

Welcoming Alexander Stuart Holland...

2011-06-24T17:46:00.000-04:00

We wanted to share with you the newest addition to the Blabla gang!
Sweet little Alex is the son of our IT guy Jason and his lovely wife Betsy.
Barely a month old and he is already getting cozy with Wooly, who is sure
to be the first of many Blabla dolls for this little guy.
Don't you want to squeeze those cheeks?!

It's Here! Our very first stop-motion short!

2011-06-10T15:03:00.004-04:00

When our designer Florence creates a new doll, she envisions not just their appearance, but an entire personality, complete with quirks, relationships and hobbies.
Bringing Socks to life and getting to share some of that personality was such fun!
Socks is the kind of guy that seems to have everything going for him, he’s smart handsome and adventurous, but he’s so shy when it comes to his feelings. Here we see him find that sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words!
This movie was made using stop-motion animation, a technique employed in such films as Coraline, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Wallace & Gromit.We were really inspired by the work of Michel Gondry, as well as old French animations, like Pollux and Bon Nuit Les Petit and, of course, the adorable Pingu!This was our first time animating, and it was a great experience. We learned so much from this process, and are already hard at work on our second short- coming soon!

2010-09-24T13:00:00.001-04:00

Lots of adventures and misadventures, stolen papers and passports, lost and found luggage, bomb scare
and metro strike, ... but that's Paris and we love it no matter what...
... its romantic cafés and chocolate croissants....the fluffy low clouds and the grand buildings,
nonchalant nudes in colorful gardens, inspiring ideas at every corner, exciting museums, and bien sur, my brothers....always there to save the day...

Hot balloons and Clouds...our very cute summer display by Erika

2010-08-27T12:25:00.005-04:00

Here is her recipe....wind not included.

How to make a papier mâché hot air balloon:

Using a Chinese lantern from IKEA, attach a to-go container or cup with tape to one open end of the lantern. (Container can be paper or plastic, but remove the bottom before attaching).
Now papier mâché long strips of white tissue paper from the middle of the lantern down around the edge of the container.
Add strips until you can no longer see the container.
Let dry.
Add strips of a different color using papier mâché or by painting glue on precut shapes.
Attach a basket with string and a tether with penant flags and you're ready to fly!

Bon Voyage!

Parker.

Finley and Hanna.

Mia Vinkemulder sent over these snapshots of her children with blabla.

As you can see, Finn's Bobo monkey pillow is well loved! Mia inquired about how to go about fixing him. For our locals in Atlanta, we recommend KNITCH.

Bobo providing much needed cushion. He's there for you, Finn! Mia informs us that Finn has had his Bobo pillow since he was 6 months old, and he celebrates his 4th birthday this Saturday.

Happy early birthday, Finn!

And of course we can't forget about Hanna. Her friends Bubbles and Berry Lee

are helping her make cookies.

Leçon d 'Observation....

2010-03-26T15:47:00.005-04:00

A few days ago, I met Tina Robinson, she is a researcher in Neurology at nearby Emory University, she loves to knit and often comes by the store.

She had spoken to Susan about her projects and asked if we'd like to see them...so when she came with ...4 huge boxes full of adorable little sweaters,

our eyes opened wide...

There were at least a hundred...a hundred cardigans which seemed perfectly identical, from the same pattern and mostly pale pink.

That's what I saw...

but then Tina started to talk about each one, like one would talk about a friend or a relative, about the character of the thread,

the moods of the pinks and...the buttons,...each one came from a special place, had a story and a reason to be.

I was now looking at them...

one by one...

like paintings in a gallery,

or the pages of a book...

in awe at her perception of the world, and thanking her for the precious moment.
