We have gone super kookie over Momiji dolls. They are message dolls... turn them upside down and inside you'll find a teeny tiny card, perfect for writing messages and sharing secrets.

We love little Sakura (pictured above) from the Joanna Zhou Dolls collection. Her petals flutter sharing our secrets from the sky. She likes pirates and koalas.

This is Mabel (pictured above) from the Itchy Feet collection. Deep in the forest of memories mabel makes magic fantastic. She likes scrabble, brass bands and goats.

where do the days go?

We haven't left the country just been tied up with lots of action in our etsy fabric shop and packing up our dresses.

April vacation has been hectic but we are almost out of it and back to a bit more of a normal business week next week! We love our kookie followers and can't wait to catch up on all our favorite kookie friends.

thinking inside the box?

Yesterday, Michelle and I spent our first day of April vacation sorting through 100's of yards of fabric. As we would unwrap a bolt or open a new box, we would yell "supplies!" and in they would run in their little Spice Girl dress ups clothes, gathering the items like little woodland animals. Off they would hurry, giggling their little heads off and conjuring up their own new designs between themselves. They spent the entire day creating handmade outfits and playing in the big boxes! Who needs big expensive toys, give them fabric scraps, cardboard and oodles of cute imagination! We love you cutie pies!!!

There will be no more "I see Paris, I see France, I see Maddy and Kylie's underpants" with these fun undershorts! One of our favorite combos is the lavender shorts with our doubles anyone dress in ice dance floor (see above right). The only issue is that my Maddy loves them so much, she cannot stop showing them off. In the midst of our Easter dinner, she stands up on her chair pulls up her beautiful Easter skirt and shakes her cute little monkey butt for all and sundry to see. After everyone had stop laughing or choking on their turkey, her Uncle Mickey told her to stop taking after her mother!

The kookie girls and our mini kookies, all love to go out for Japanese and we are smitten with this Japanese style lunchbox! What a great way to serve up healthy and fun lunches that don't require bread and boring old lunchmeat! A Bentō is a single sized portion or a home-packed meal that is common in Japan. The traditional bento box contains rice, chicken, meat or fish and usually a side dish of cooked or pickled vegetables. Japanese households take great time and care in packing their bento boxes to make them appealing. This funky lunchbox is available to buy at Cooking for Monkeys for $18.
