This precious photo reminds me of my childhood growing up in rural Wisconsin, there was nothing better at the time then exploring the outdoors with friends. I came across this image on one of my new favorite blogs The Midwest Treatment, as a lifelong midwesterner, this blog always makes me smile.

Elsa Beskow

This morning while I was catching up on my blog reading I came across a post by my dear friend Annie, it featured some images by famed children's book illustrator Margaret Evans Price which made me quite nostalgic for the classic imagery from my childhood. This reminiscing immediately made me think of one of my all time favorite children's book authors and illustrators, Elsa Beskow. As a child we owned many of her books and their lovely illustrations of nature and fantasy were simply enchanting. I can't wait to one day share them with my own children.

Dancing Girls

How sweet are these little ballerinas? This just makes me smile so hard. (via maryruffle)

For All the Stylish Minors

I'm seriously in love with the new Dwell Studio bedding for kids available at Design Public, and I don't even have any offspring, I wish they sold it for a queen bed. For anyone who has little ones you need to check it out, they are geniuses at creating the most adorable patterns you've ever seen.
