Children's Room Decor: Roxy Marj Designs

Roxy Marj is a unique artist I found while shopping on Etsy for children's room decor pieces. She graduated from Parsons and aspires to make children items adults want to steal. Indeed she does. I think every adult who purchases an item from her secretly buys for themselves. There is something so incredible I find in artists like her, their ability to create tangible items other people desire and use to exercise their imagination and personal creativity. I favor supporting artists like Roxy who inspire the children she reaches through her craft. Be inspired yourself and check out her mini bio here.

Children's Accessories: Caged Bird Blog

I am a sucker for accessories and ever since I became a mother, my obsession has grown. I am constantly on the lookout for special pieces to add to my son or daughters' outfit and compliment their unique personalities.  My latest find is from Caged Bird found on Etsy.  Wyatte Lawson from Caged Bird is a mother of two children, one diagnosed with autism. Wyatte painted as an outlet and financial support for her daughter's needs. Painting turned into jewelry and the rest is history. She has a beautiful story that has translated into beautiful product. Support this mother's struggle:

I love it when you call me Big Poppa: Late Great Dolls

Late Great plush dolls are great gifts for any admirer of Historic American Literature, Politics and Pop Culture. I am proud to report the trend of inspirational toys for our future leaders of tomorrow. There are great results in education through play and my hopes are that our retail chains will restock themselves with more resourceful toys to sell instead of the plastic junk remaining on its shelves today.
