amazing wooden shaped pieces puzzle, knit jellyfish ornament, new wallpaper so pretty for a powder room, kookoo clock, sweater candle

moomah

i have read on a few blogs (via unruly-things) about this kids paradise called Moomah in NY..i have to check it out..primarily because the packaging for the bags, cups, menus and window art.. is so "off the charts" inspiring and creative....one day rikshaw may be calling the design team at Apartment one..

heart her

i seriously can't get enough of her...this picture is right up my alley..sequins, giant flower pin and a bottle of champagne...yes please..

tis the season

i went to the mall on halloween day and as the kids were trick-or-treating at the stores (random i thought..but anyway), they had to squeeze by the christmas trees and all the ornaments and games in full display to get their piece of chocolate...i heard a little queen of hearts ask her mom "when is santa coming?"...that poor mom had put some major effort into that hand-made costume! its gonna be a long season for her..

so tis the season (right?! !) to kick things off rikshaw design is offering a steal of a deal on our ever popular elephant pillows...with a coupon code your lil snuggly ellie is $39! get it while the gettin in good! limited time only..
