{ someday } alsolete

don't tell wade. lately i've been a bit baby crazy. i mean we have 8 kazillion friends that are pregnant this fall. so exciting. and to increase the madness ... i of course had to stumble upon alsolete - a barcelona based clothing store for children 12 months to 14 years. after studying @ the art & fashion techniques school in barcelona & working in the fashion industry for 15 years, designer marta gambùs launched alsolete in 2000. her intention ... to design children's clothing that express the mediterranean way of life - modern yet comfortable.

mission accomplished! i am especially in love w/ the colors in her collection. okay so secretly i wish they had a mommy/daddy line too!

{someday} w+i will travel to barcelonato visit alsolete! in the meantime - check out the estore!

monster friends by family tree design+illustration

w + i saw this monster friends series by family tree design & illustration a few weeks ago at hot+cold in nashville:

love at first sight! we both agreed these would be super cute for a little boy's room {someday}. and {someday} we definitely want a little boy or 2. but w/o said little boy or any plans to create him - we decided to go on our merry way poster-less.

... it's been bugging me ever since!

so yesterday - i called hot+cold to find out the name of the collection. and sad day - according to the collection blog ... it was no longer available. don't get me wrong monster friends series 2 is super cute (bonus: the special edition glows in the dark!):

... but i really really really would love it if they offered series 1 again. puh-lease?

a classic case of "you snooze, you lose"?

luckily - not so! just got an email from one of the illustrators (who coincidentally i've worked w/ in the past). and they are going to release the collection again. they're just waiting on printing. you can sign up for email notifications here if you're interested too. are monsters not your thing? they will also be releasing an animal collection. cute cute.

this time i will not snooze!
