Kiki & Coco.

I am needing a good pick-me-up today, and I’ve found it.

Found via Sugar City Journal last night, this video is making my entire month. Photographer-Mother-Stephanie Rausser photographed her little girl’s trip to Paris with her best friend Coco…her rather perfect handmade rag-doll.

Click here for the darling, darling slide show. Honestly…I think I’m off to go make a Coco Doll for my girls. I made a small version for Addie last year, but this size is perfect!

Watch it and you’ll laugh and cry. Its reminding me to see the way my children see their playthings. And it makes me want to go back to Paris. Really bad. Really, really bad.

P.S. The Paris Print is coming soon! By the end of the week, soon. It’s so sweet. And when I’m done, I’m off to sew one of these:

And then maybe, just maybe, I’ll be off to Paris.

And P.S. There is a super huge giveaway at Design Mom you’ll want to check out today. $200 gift card to the shop, as well as another few hundred dollars in awesome giveaways. But it’s only today, so hurry!

    Oh my goodness, I don’t have any children but that slide show makes me want to have only little girls and make the each little french dolls like that. *Swoon* thanks for sharing!

    OK, so I cheated. I caught your tweet yesterday. Immediately went to the site and just felt like a little girl again traveling with my family….not afraid because I had a silly brother and my “best friend” to share Paris with. I wish all children could become Global children. I really think countries would get along so much better with one another if that were to happen….don’t you?

    Little girls and their dolls are perfect.

    Awe, sad I missed your deadline but I just found your lovely blog and it has become my absolute favorite. I am both a designer and a soon to be mom (my husband and I are adopting a darling little girl.) I feel your blog was made just for me (: thanks for inspiring!
