the placemat collection my family had growing up remains a vivid memory for me. after all, meal time = family time and we religiously had dinner as a family with our placemats to catch all the stray spaghetti that missed our mouths. inevitably, all the placemats got worn and torn, with tong marks from angry forks and doodles here and there.

deborah zemke's doodles at dinner is sure to make your meal time a FUN occasion. each of the 36 tear-out placemats teaches your little one (or even you) how to draw a new animal and gives an interesting little factoid with room for imagination.

whether they end up on your fridge for all to see or with tomato sauce to salvage, these placemats are sure to make each meal a memorable experience for the whole family!

the summer of '88 was a time of adventure and excitement~ my family decided to move from california to new jersey and we drove cross country. i was excited for our new life in the east coast but also sad to leave a sunny state that was "home" to me. it was bitter sweet. many years have passed since then and even though i am technically now a new yorker, i still feel very cali at heart. what better way to celebrate both coasts than to wear this whimsical necklace from ten things? who said you couldn't have it all?

purchase your very own here or any of these amazing jewelry pieces by ten things and get FREE ground shipping.* it's the perfect gift for yourself or friend. who wouldn't want the best of both coasts with a little bit of luck?

happy "bi-coastal" shopping!

With the impending summer break from school comes the inevitable rainy days where playing outside just isn't an option. For days like that we suggest DIY craft activities to bide the time.

One of our favorites is Softies, which walks you step-by-step through 25 quirky designs for soft plush toys ranging in difficultly level from easy to challenging. Each design clearly lists what materials are needed, the finished size to expect and the difficultly level making it easy to pick and choose! Aside from being a great all day bonding activity it requires everyone involved to find their creative voice - such an important form of expression, with the added bonus of a thoughtful, meaningful gift for someone special!

As a special incentive to go DIY, we are running a FUN, DIY contest at Pink Olive. From now until July 8th (my birthday :), submit your DIY softie to Pink Olive. one lucky winner will have the opportunity to have their softie sold at Pink Olive (both in store and online). Good luck! All entries should be mailed to: Pink Olive 439 East 9th St. NY, NY 10009.
