Today we’ve been opening a whole host of boxes that have arrived since we were at toy fair.  Lots of books (how many books can there be about Miley Cyrus?), games, toy trucks and audio tapes.  At the bottom of the stack we just opened a box that had the most WONDERFUL new dolls inside from Blablakids.com. Rarely do we get products that are so fresh looking–yet have a very retro, pleasingly familiar feel to them.  There are dolls that will appeal to both boys and girls–they are all knitted – and each character has tons of personality!  They have that extra dose of whimsy that makes this an outstanding collection (can you tell I really like them!).  The entire collection is inspired by a trip to Peru by co-founder Susan Pritchett and French designer Florence Wetterwald. My suggestion–take a break from what you’re working on and go to their website. There are fingerpuppets, mid-size dolls, rattles, and giant (3′) dolls–you will be in for a treat. We have asked to see some of the other dolls in the line – it is truly very special.
