What kind of cuteness are the tees and plush from Belgium based Plush?!! Their little creatures have such great character. Their sizes run from 3-6 months all the way up to 6 years. So cute!

I love the photos too…aren’t those kids are adorable! Oh how much I’d have to pay to get my dishwater-blond to look that gorgeous…ha ha!

Clair makes films. Last year she traveled to New Zealand to film a documentary. Clair eats a lot of pickles and sometimes chews with her mouth open – but only when she’s alone. Clair has a dog named Yoshi who rides a skateboard!

How cute is that?! She uses eco stuffing and found fabric for her creations…I’m just smitten. Check out her blog, too….turns out we have similar taste in music!

I have a fondness for plush. When my kids were much younger, I always tried to find stuffed animals with character. It wasn’t an easy task! Certainly wish All New Materials and their “Deglingos” collection was around back then. Their little cow {above} is the cutest thing ever! Their site doesn’t have online ordering…but you can find them at Creative Kidstuff. Just adorable!

I love to have a few of the little dishtowels from artgoodies in my cupboard to give as hostess gifts. They are so sweet, and are tied with a green satin ribbon. I can’t have any of these cute towels to use in my own kitchen, because a particular family member {AHEM} has the tendency to take towels and use them for counter-wiping, or as a dirty-hand scraper-offer. Oh well! Creator Lisa Price also has sweet aprons, little pillows and ornaments. Check out her Etsy shop as well!

Zooguu {by sweetest pea} is a site filled with adorable plush all handmade for you by Jen and Brian Gubicza. My very favorite is the little penguin. So so cute! Shh…don’t tell my niece…this will be part of her Christmas present! She also has a shop on Etsy.

Such sweet handmade treasures at Hasenpfeffer…absolutely adorable little bears and things made from old coats and clothing. It’s hard to believe that such sweetness could come from a big ‘ol unwanted coat! I love the faces on the little handheld dolls {binky buddies} and bears…such character! Love these!

How cute are these?! Not your mama’s sock monkeys! Toronto based Monkey House has some of the sassiest sock monkeys around. Madge and Sylvia (pictured above) are my all time faves, but she has many others to choose from on her Etsy shop. Love them!

My next plush obsession is Amsterdam based, The House of Mouse. Anna, creates sweet little mice, each with their own personalities. The perfect gifts for your favorite artist, golfer, ballerina, gardener, or Beatles fan (she’ll even do custom work!). Go to her Etsy shop to see more.

Last, but not least, is my favorite local plush designer. Luisa, creator of Pock-it Palz, manages to balance her high school schedule with making some very fun plushy creations. Her designs have been shown in art galleries in L.A., Seattle and Chicago since she was 11 years old… Rotofugi in Chicago has been carrying her line since 2004, and since, her toys have become quite collectible! Great work, Luisa!
