Where children sleep...

bouji & nouna just came across the book Where Children Sleep” by James Mollison. 
On this fantastic book ,Photographed over two years with the support of Save the Children (Italy),James Mollison compare children of the world and the places where they sleep. 
bouji & nouna found this book really inspiring and encourage children to think about inequality. 
Well, we think It's a great way for you and child to sit down together and see how other children all over the world live, and the best part is the cover graphic GLOWS IN THE DARK-How fun is that!







And don’t forget….

bouji & nouna's Crib Bedding and Shadow Pillows are a great way to start stimulants your child’s imagination and curiosity!

Happy Hanuka! or What is more important? A good photo or a good product?

Well, it's been a while since we wrote lately... And the reason for that was that we were experienced some health issues...
Nothing serious, but enough to drive our mom crazy...
bouji was caught a cold, nouna was infected from him and their dad had a back pain... and all of that during the Hanukah vacation!
So we had a sick Holiday... The good news is that most of them past it already....
During this time we were wondering to ourselves... What is more important? A good photo or a good product? Does an internet shopper only relay on a good photo or sometimes a good product can catch their eye even if the photo is not so good?
For example, our Eli the elephant.
We think her photo is not so good... She's too blue and UN focused. And even though she's on Etsy gift guide and already been ordered...
Same with Silvestre and our urban jungle blanket...
So tell us... What do you think? What is more important?

My insperation - My mom's closet


As a little child there was one magic place at our home...

My mom had a closet that was off limit for me and He contains for me the most preaches treasures ever.

It was an old closet, full of her sewing materials - tones of fabrics and fabrics leftovers, buttons, strings, ribbons and so much more...

She also kept there her unfinished projects, fabric pieces with embroidery on them, dresses and tops parts etc.

Even though it was off limit, or maybe because of it, it was my favorite place at home. I've spend hours digging in the heaps; Playing, searching...pretending to have the most beautiful dresses. touching and feeling the different textures..

As I got older, around 12 yrs, I often took some of the left overs, sewing my self dresses I've seen on TV or magazines - all alone, without any guidance..

When I needed some spending money, I used them to create dolls witch I sold later on randoms fairs.

This secret closet was the world for me, a center of creation and imagination. I've learned that with fabric leftovers dream really can come true and hopes can become realized.

Now days, I have my own secret closet, and I keep on make dreams come true, mine and other moms elsewhere, from the treasures in it.
