Happy Birthday, You Little Prince

I'm not sure a one-year-old can really appreciate The Little Prince. But you can, with a Cake Topper for your little one's birthday. Just don't eat it, cause it's made of clay. (via)

Barbapapa sings your little one to sleep

Sweet silliness from the Barbapapa family.

Wear The Little Prince around your neck

A necklace for the true Little Prince fan.

"This little prince necklace is made of me in red wax and moulded sterling silver 925. It has a matte and antiquated finish." (via)

Okay, I hope it's made by her and not of her-and, I wish I could make jewelry too!

Barbapapa Kinder Eggs

A staff member just came back from a trip to Italy. She stumbled into these Barbapapa Kinder Eggs AT A FISH MARKET. We love the fact that she thought to bring some back. But, I have to be honest here and say WHAT THE HECK!? Why can you find these at a FISH MARKET in Sicily but not anywhere in the US? Sheesh!

I am only frustrated because I want to sell these... I can't wait to open them for Easter. Thanks, Sarah!

Barbapapa Bento

WOW! I was a little grossed out at first until I read the creator's post about how it was accomplished:

It's barbapapa and barbamama onigiri filled with avocado, ginger and mayonaise (yum). The rice was coloured with beetroot juice. Eyes and flowers are made of tiny (TINY! That was so hard..) pieces of eggsheet, chives and nori. The couple is romantically laying on a bed of lettuce. Heart shaped candy, orange baby bell pepper, baby carrot and a bottle of dressing (hiding).

I love bento and give this person a huge thumbs-up for creativity. It should be entered in the Bento Battle at the Japan Society, no?
