Pretty New Toys

While shopping for my *almost here* new niece or nephew I spotted a very cool toy. It's more of a pretty objext than a toy, though maybe it's really fun for babies to play with, for me, it's just really fun to look at!
New toy!
Just a bunch of beautifully colourful wooden balls on a string. I've been admiring it all week. It's such a nice change from all the loud plastic toys I've been seeing. So simple. 

Ever since we brought Stella home with us I've kept my eyes open for whippet paraphernalia. I don't plan on having whippet art and whippet statues all over the house, but one nice whippet bookend does the job nicely. It's been very hard to find just the right thing, greyhound stuff is easier to come across, but finding something that was as soft and pretty as Stella has been tough. This guy is definitely more muscular than our petite girl, but he's still pretty. :)

I love my new Stella bookend.

    1. The company that makes them is called Haba: http://www.haba.de/haba/produktAnsicht.htm?c=PC_P_003856&twk=TW_P_Holzgreiflinge_Baby&hk=HK_P_Baby&rk=Produkte They've got lots of awesome and colourful wodden toys. I bought them at a local shop, I think it's called "Le Baby Shop".

  4. That is the coolest toy!! What a great find, especially that it's not plastic. And that whippet bookend is perfect.

  6. That photo of Stella made me laugh! I had each of our pups professionally photographed when they turned one so we too, have the "glam" shots on our wall as I like to call them. I think they're awesome but it's always funny when new people come over and ask very hesitantly, "Um... did you have those done professionally?"
