Baby girl nursery

During the Easter holidays I wrote about the handmade soft toys in our store to our Finnish blog. I was inspired by the romantic and classic style toys and search some more inspiration for a romantic baby girl nursery.

I found these lace clouds in Pinterest. Such a cute idea, it must be wonderful to relax while looking at these!

Our handmade bunny soft toy would fit perfectly into the cute baby girl nursery below. Exactly the same classic style don't you think?

Here baby clothing is organized neatly as a part of the nursery decoration. I love the matching baskets and how white and pink color are present in both the clothing and the little accessories.

Valentine's activities with kids

Here is a fun activity idea to make a key holder to the wall. All you need is a Lego figure, piece of background and a piece with a hole.

Place the Lego figure onto the top part of the background piece and slip the key into the piece with the hole. Then you can easily snap the key and the holder into place.

You can make several of these for example for Valentine's with kids. If you can't find suitable pieces with a hole, e-bay will help.

Ceramic garlic grater

These bright and colorful ceramic garlic and ginger graters are handmade in Finland by our artisan potter. The ceramic grater is available in eight colors; black, white, mint green, dark grey, yellow, pink, red and turquoise blue. The grater measures about 2.6 x 4.7 inches. 

Ceramic grater

Kitchen tip: You can grate garlic gloves instead of mincing – less work and easier to do! And the taste of garlic is fresher when you grate (or mince) it instead of pressing.

I love using this ceramic grater in our kitchen. It is very practical and it looks so pretty that I don’t have to hide it when I’m not using the grater. I think it also makes a perfect gift for friends and relatives of all ages, and for everybody who loves cooking and pretty home decor. 

Mincing garlic with the ceramic grater

The ceramic grater was originally invented for grating garlic but it can be used to grate ginger as well. It is easy to grate both garlic and ginger without cutting your fingers, and it’s very practical to swipe the grated garlic or ginger off the ceramic grater to the pan.

The ceramic grater is shipped from our online store within 1-2 days and delivery takes about 2 weeks at maximum to most parts of the world. Since the garlic can be shipped in a regular size envelope, it usually ships even faster.

Check out the ceramic graters in our online store and order yours!

Happy New Year 2013

Happy New Year 2013 to you all!
