A dodo in Geneva

I met a Dodo the other day. I met him in Galerie Alexandre Mottier, Geneva and I thought it was nice enough to be introduced to you !

The dodo has been extinct since the mid-to-late 17th century but this rocking bird is born in 2009 and produced in moulded polyethylene. It is very lovable and suitable for outdoor use. You can also find Puppy another animal from the Magis collection Me Too.

Both on sale at :

BOOK Cici Hérisson

This tale, about a courageous Hedgehog, as been spotted by the nice blog Une histoire et au lit: my new blog partner on "children's book" !

The publishing house HongFei Cultures publishes children's books featuring modern Chinese literatures and original pictures. In Chinese, HongFei means "Swan goose flying high". Enchanting tales, stories and poetry on the themes of discovery, traveling and wisdom are selected from Chinese literature. The story of Cici is told the Asian way, full of affection and enigmatic, in connection with the passage of time and nature. It is a tiny tale whose moral challenges us to think of others before thinking of yourself!

SHOP nice things by Paloma S.

nice things is about comfortable, bright clothing just for girls of all ages, all style, all taste. I always purchased great printed cotton scarf here and also a lot of purses and cases for my baby. Kids collection is very small but at the same time you can be sure to have the only sample in Geneva ! In this summer collection I noticed a nice Vichy checks swimsuit and some tank tops with a nice short overall.

EVENT : La ville est à vous, Genève

To me, La ville est à vous is the best neighborhood event. I'm curious so I love to see what people have to sale - how they reappropriate the streets and how they display their clothes, machines, toys and diverse objects. All these items are full of their life but also shared memories, nostalgia and common past trends. It is such an interesting event and a unique opportunity to buy at a good price things that are no longer in store. This year I bought some books and a puzzle domino game with retro illustrations as I like :

L'arbre de Léonard - Marie Tenaille, illustrations by Suzanne Boland - Collection Farandole/ Caroline à la mer - Pierre Probst - Collection Hachette/ Domino puzzle des objets - Fernand nathan
