::hello from the big apple::

Hello from the Big Apple! Architectdad, O and I drove into town yesterday for L's baby shower. Great weather and wonderful setting. O finally met her "boyfriend" H...although she was in competition with a little blonde cutie. We wish L and J the best...and for the record, they are registered at Amazon, Pacifier and Design Public ;-)

After the shower, we visited our favorite kids store in the East Village, Sons and Daughters. This is where I first saw Koeka products, so of course we came away with the terry cloth Bugaboo cover. I know, I know, I said I wouldn't buy it...but I couldn't resist.

Another great find is a cute summer hat from Kik Kid. And guess what? This is a Dutch company. I think I should just move to the Netherlands and get it over with. Anyway, the hat we bought is printed cotton muslin with a visor-like brim and little pointy "kitty ears." Too cute. There's also a sweet little conductor hat for boys.

O was pretty good on the drive up, but we shall see what happens on the way home.
