Daily Poetics

From this moment on, what was dreaming confusedly in the eyes of this little girl took on a more fixed glint: one wold have said she was feeling the meaning of herself while awakening in our shadows.

Title Quote: Villers de L'Isle-Adam

Gumball Charm Bracelet

"Bring back the wonder of childhood innocence and dreams with this colorful and delightful one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry--and history! I hand fabricated the sterling silver bracelet (soldered links) and added each magical tidbit of childhood, specifically seeking out highly collectible and hard-to-find mechanical charms made in Hong Kong during the 1950's and 60's. You'll see a working whistle, compass, mirror, hour glass and magnifying glass; 3 dexterity games; a turning apple that reveals a worm; a push-button clown; an eskimo, bunny and green monster with pop-out eyes; a bobble head turtle; a blinking eye; a puzzle boat; a bible with secret viewer of the Lord's Prayer; a flicker clock; a dog popping out of a dog house; a gun that comes out of its holster; a skate with moving wheels and a 1940's sterling silver moving fan. Highly sought after are the retractable box cutter and pop-out eyed bunny that are hallmarked PK for the Penny King company. I've also included several celluloid cracker jack charms of the 1920's and 30's.
When you wear these childhood talismans on your wrist, you will delight not only yourself but all around you! As these are antiques, you should wear the bracelet with care to protect its heirloom status." -Kim Noguiera

"Balouga's collecton also features "La Foret des Boites" (The Forest of Boxes) by Matali Crasset. A refreshing and poetic desk which features a secret box and three that are removable. Who knew kids desks could be so much fun?"

Toys are not really as innocent as they look. Toys and games are the preludes to serious ideas.

"Marlies von Soden is a German sculptor. Over several decades she has pushed the boundaries of plastics as a free-form sculptural medium using the same extruding machines which produce the plastics raw materials used in industry. Here, she employs a type of phenolic foam used in podiatry to make an utterly cute and practical way to make a keepsake of a baby's foot. The pink foam takes the impression, permanently, and can then be displayed or kept safe in a (very glamorous) silver or gold embossed slipcover. It makes the perfect gift for parents, friends and relatives." A+R Store

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.

"Sometimes I still would like to be a child. As a kid I had a lot of teddy bears, on my bed, on the closet and on the couch. Maybe I still have those teddy bears, but can no one see them? They are still on the couch...but hidden. When I have visitors, there are grey cushions on the couch. Am I alone, I turn my cushions inside out and there are my monsters!" Monique Borsboom
