Big Tone in the news

Yesterday I received the new Mama Magazine with an article in which Knuffels à la carte is mentioned.
 

So nice to see top models (Jules, my son) and Mr (so cool) Big Tone in their September issue.


My husband, Simon makes all photos for the shop. Here Jules and Big Tone during our photo shoot.

Big Tone is one of the members of The Monsters of Rock. He's huge, soft, very friendly and has even become the official mascot of the Motley Crue tour!!


 Tommy Lee with Johnny Fandango  (Motley Crue loves the Grateful Thread products)

Created by London based designer couple Jami and Nicolas Worth for their label 'The Grateful Thread'. They both share a love of music and crafts and create rock 'n' roll themed soft toys and gifts. All products are handmade.

Other members of this cuddly band are Betsy Bones (playing bass), Johnny Fandango (an outstandingly talented guitarist), Elvis Beastley (with hair grease and golden sunglasses) and Mr. Funkenstein (the latest addition to the band).



Today I will add two new Grateful Thread products to the shop. LP inspired couch cushions made of soft fleece with funny embroidered details. Great for music and especially vinyl lovers. They look absolutely fantastic on a couch, bed or anything you want to add that extra funky touch.

As a big fan of the Grateful Thread collection, we also sell other Grateful Thread products like rockin guitar softies and guitar baby rattles.

Where is Melanies Masker?

Two years ago I discovered a beautiful Danish webshop called 'Melanies masker' A Danish brand with handmade retro style clothes for kids. I don't know what happened to that online shop but it disappeared? I directly fell in love with the beautiful illustrations moving on piano and harmonica music. Luckily I still have some screenprints of some of the illustrations, but unfortunately I can't show you how it really was.


It seems the brand still exists, because I found some shops selling clothes of Melanies Masker, but what happened to that shop?

Pick of the day 35% discount (only today)



Today’s pick of the day at Babyccino Kids is Popje from Dutch label Kidsonroof. Popje is the cutest little doll I have ever seen. She is handmade of beautiful vintage fabric remnants, which makes each doll unique and one of a kind. With her embroidered face she’s really adorable. She comes in a small box, decorated with flowers. Popje is a perfect baby gift, but she is also a favourite with little girls and adults.

At Knuffels a la carte we sell Popje Cat and Popje Rabbit, both in two different sizes (small 15 cm and large 20 cm).



To celebrate Popjes pick of the day we have a one day discount of 35% on all Popje Doll’s. This is your chance to get one.

Why not sending your cuddle on a trip to Paris?

I love Paris. Many years ago, I lived for two years in this beautiful and inspiring city and I hope to visit it again soon. While doing some research, I discovered Furry Toys Tours. Furry Toys Tours makes it possible to send your favourite cuddle on a trip to Paris



Inspired by the movie Le fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain, Furry Toys Tours takes your favourite cuddle around the city and photographs it in front of famous Paris sightings. There are different city tours to choose from. While your beloved cuddle enjoys her/his city trip you receive daily updates by mail with photos. At the end of the trip, you get 30 photo’s, a little souvenir of Paris and a travel certificate.

What I personally miss is a shopping tour around all those hidden secret places in Paris. So I decided, in stead of spending € 100 for this tour, to buy the Paumes edition Souvenirs of Paris, learn some Japanese and visit Paris in the near future. Of course with one of the cuddles in the shop.
