smiling faces mobile

Here's a cheerful little Thursday post. One of my favorite Christmas presents this year, a wooden mobile of smiling faces from my Mom. It's an ebay find, by a Finnish company, Aarikka.

How incredibly awesome that your mom understands your style! The only "language" my mom and I share is cooking gadgets - we can buy for each other equally in this category.

So very you! Love it! Is it going into the baby's space?

It's wonderful! I love Aarikka stuff, they make cool jewellery and Christmas decorations, too.

Ha, how funny, I was just at their site last week, stalking, er, researching a partner for a swap. I loved so much of what I saw there.

What a great gift from Mom!
