Cool things
July 8, 2008

From time to time we get information on companies or products that are just starting out or that don't fit into our normal product coverage categories but they're still worth mentioning.

I've just learned of this company, Little Hands, that has the cutest mural wallpaper, really unlike anything I've seen before. There are lots of different patterns (I'm partial to penguins, even though they live at the South Pole, not in Alaska). I could actually see these patterns in bedding, rugs and accessories too.

A friend of mine sent me pictures of this next product. Having a new niece around makes me pay even more attention to cute little things for sweet baby girls and these shoes are the cutest. Obviously they aren't intended for walking babies, but what a cute gift idea, especially if mom is a fashionis

This last product melds eco-friendly and modern design perfectly. Naturescast, a home furnishings company with an innovative line of eco-friendly, high-end modern furniture and accent pieces, designed a cradle especially for Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren’s baby girl, Honor.

 The non-toxic cocoon is designed by Thomas Burger in the shape of an egg, symbolizing creation.  A special limited edition line of “Jessica’s Cradle” will be available on the Naturescast website for $3000. The cradle is made of sustainable hypo-allergenic materials including Naturescast, a special material made from agro-forest waste including trees, leaves and barks, non-toxic Enviroboard, recycled paper, stainless steel and water-based adhesives. To make the cradle more comfortable, a scratch and food resistant Marmorcast gel coating was used for the inner surfaces. Not to worry, Marmorcast contains recycled materials.
