Chickpeas.

Sarah Gregoire sent over a few photos of her son, Joseph.

She writes,

"Joseph has grown very attached to his blabla during the past week, as we gave up his binky.

Here you will see Joseph eating lunch with him (even sharing his chick peas) . . ."

What kid do you know that eats chickpeas?  No fussy eaters here!  We're glad Licorice can help!

It's a family affair.

Watson inspired the Hall family to each don mustaches for a family photo.

Are you the one we want?

blabla

is looking for free-lance illustrators

to give our dolls a 2 dimensional life

for various graphic applications

(ie story books, etc.).

We are looking for a whimsical, poetic style,

with an Asian or modern folk sensitivity,

sweet but not corny nor typically commercial.

Preferably not digital.

A small sample of your visual interpretation

of one of our original dolls

or boogaloos would be great!

Here are some examples of what we like . . .

Hold me tender. Hold me tight.

Zook.

Our giant Zooks are getting in line for their big trip across the ocean.  They should arrive in October!  A hilarious little troop of guardian angels!

I just received this picture this morning from my childhood friend Natalie. It was in July, after a long hot day at the ocean, our kids had just performed the funniest candle light magic show for us. We were enjoying the last minutes of being together before going back to "our lives". I thought that I'd share the magic. - Florence

Sheep mobile.

Our new little sheep mobiles have arrived, with their soft colors and fuzzy textures.  One sheep, two sheep, three sheep, and voilà! The baby's asleep!
