Basic Grey Urban Prairie

Basic Grey Urban Prairie's Collection is sooo sweet. The chip pieces are fabulous and who has enough of their solids???? Not I. The Basic Grey collections are large - 18 12x12 designs - but they include coordinating solids - a huge plus.

Toys for Boys

We look for boy toys to pass the smash test - can you bounce them off the pavement a couple of times without shattering or cracking. These toys passed the test. The Mighty World men and equipment are a favorite at our house.



Sprig trucks are 100% recycled and run on play power-what a fabulous gift. The kids really love pushing these around.



Solid wood can't be beat - Plan Toys vehicles.

Manhattan Toys Baby Faces

Baby faces, wow these baby gifts are sooo cool. Babies love faces more than anything and Manhattan Toys has brillantly added baby faces to products. Elsie absolutely loves them, soft, unique and happy! As a gift, this is a homerun.

Hard to see in this picture, but Elsie is sticking her tongue out like the baby.

Melissa Francis


Oh, so many architectual pieces from Melissa Francis, they are great textural pieces for pages, album covers or craft projects. I like the boxes and small albums she has. They don't have protected pages which is nice to work with for a change. The paper is like old timey scrapbook pages, a very antique feel. The albums sizes also fit nicely on book shelves.

KI Memories

The Festive Collection. Have you seen the sheer delights -way cool plastic paper? These would be prefect to cut and add as additional pages to a clear album. Nothing like this is out there -go KI.
