Meet the latest travel doll Anouk of Amsterdam! She is the second installment in our Travel Girls series (You might remember Colette of Paris? And then Kayllyn of NYC coming up next!). Anouk is a city girl who loves cycling, flower shopping and sketching. And of course the occasional stroopwafel- but preferably made fresh in the …
WHAT TO WEAR when traveling in Amsterdam (in the Spring) I wanted to share what I loved wearing in Amsterdam (in early May) – and also what I wish I wore. Like spring in most places- think in layers. First off you’ll need a good rain jacket – weather in Amsterdam in the spring …
I’m so thrilled to be sharing one of my favorite collabs. A few years back I created a gigantic oversized map for Tiny Traveler Tilda and A Midsummer Mingle. Since them I’ve wanted to do something with it, even had a few ‘almost’ moments with it, but nothing ever felt or lined up right. Until …

We’ve been doing a lot of drawing and painting around here. Little A is getting older and is more capable and willing to really learn how to draw and Little O is just over the moon to do whatever his brother is doing (and of course loves getting his hands on any sort of messy, …
So I thought it might be nice to get you all that travel desk tutorial I promised you before the summer was over. Maybe you can squeeze in some sewing time right before your last road trip of the summer. This might seem pretty extensive but I promise that it’s easier than it looks! My …
