PART TWO - HELLO WORLD some of our favorites for your kids

It's time for part TWO. Hopefully by the time we get to Christmas I've managed to do FOUR and we'll call it my weekly advent (only sometimes Christmas as well as these posts has to come early otherwise you cannot get your shopping under the tree in time...). The thing we deal with phieuw!

PART ONE - HELLO WORLD all time favorites for your wishlist

Every year around Christmas I get asked what I would like for a present. Often I write down something that can only be bought online. Most of the times I don't get those things. Now that I live in Singapore any present needs to be shipped anyways. So I thought I might as well put down my HELLO WORLD all time favorites. After all, good design doesn't always have to come from your local shop. I've searched internationally and came up with some real gems.

Here's part ONE. Cause let's be honest... there are so many good things you can find online. I hope to be back with more later this week. Stay posted...

1. cushions DAN300 Group (Australia)
2. bunting and cushion by Place de Bleu (Denmark)
3. wool throws by Rosenbergh Cph (Denmark)
4. amazing posters with great messages by I love my type (Denmark)

A december project to follow: Winter Animals by Zilverblauw

Here's a project to follow and join if you've gone creative decorating with your little fake animals. It is by my lovely blogger friend Anki from Zilverblauw can called Winter Animals.
She made this little deer and inspired so many others to also get creative. Now she is collecting all those creations on her blog. A lovely collection already and still growing. So if you want to join... I'm definately tempted to add one or two in the next week.

Some DIY advent making inspiration

I like all types of advent calenders. When I was a little girl we used to have the ones with tiny chocolates. That were never big enough nor did the days go by fast enough to get to the next one. Let alone get to Christmas!
Here are some modern colorful ideas that I found on Pinterest. The crystal ones are by Mr Printables, the Robots that would be great for a boys family is by Next to nicx, the confetti popper one by You are my fave, the colorful boxes by Studio DIY and finally the matchstick box one by Zoe de las cases.
