Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Morning Stroll

Finished renovating another little pram today. The lining, hood, mattress and pillow are all made from Silk Shantung. The cane bassinette has been trimmed with lace and gimp and features a coordinating flower each side.


I asked Gaea to take Mossy for a walk in the pram to test it out, and Biscotti decided to join them as they wandered down Oak Tree Lane.

I have put it on Etsy for US$39 plus postage.

      Hi Alasse,
      Thank you. In the past I have used my own little pram with PukiFees and a little teddy bear, but I love how this RealFee fits inside the pram. :)
