my animals are hungry

I landed at the tree house (or the Parikh Pyle residence) when my niece Atia was just finishing a wholesome breakfast her father had prepared. She was relishing the last few blobs of sour cream over spinach and eggs as baby Tino charmed his way into a post breakfast snack of Cheerios. Atia is in the developmental phase of adult modeling. It's interesting to see how a child's experience forms fantasy and directs play.
Of course it was Atia's turn to feed her My Fun friends!

atia's playtime

I spent a sunny Tuesday morning with my niece Atia and nephew Santino. Atia was excited to see me twice in the same week.
"Shumi is coming over again!?!"
"Shumi wears nice shirts, I love Shumi's shirts..."
Atia is 3.5 years old. Do you remember what that age felt like? Did you make up stories? Did you have a favorite toy? Did you find different textures fascinating? I did and it hasn't stopped for me!
Here is a glimpse of Atia's playtime with her collection of My Fun!

ONE

mirasa design turns ONE on day ONE of the New Year. We are filled with joy and gratitude.   



We are just like toddlers. Having learnt to crawl; by clutching, grabbing, leaning, falling
and crying. We are now learning to walk and run with all the little steps learnt this first year.

 Each day has been a new lesson, finding ourselves forever learning, exploring and discovering for the next.

There is no better reward than being appreciated. When a child stops crying as My Monkey does the mirasa monkey dance; The confusion of decision making between the My Tiger or My Owl be it an adult or a child (It’s happened plenty!); The big hugs My Lion Floor pillows receive; Story time only over the comfy My Monkey Floor Pillow; The surprise and laughter when the wrist bands rattle. Want more?

I hope we can continue to enjoy mirasa together as we enter year Two. We look forward to 2011 with inspiration; to creating More FUN for you!

We ended our outdoor season with the Downtown Holiday Market. It was exhilarating to see the charm in Holiday shopping.



My Monkeys  jumping in the basket!

You can always be some one's little monkey. My Monkey will have many new friends this Saturday. Whether its whooping love from an older brother to his forty year old sister or to a new born from her god mother; they are both some one's little monkey.   

Big brother William came along in his Santa hat with his father. He wanted a special Christmas present for his little sister Lila. My Monkey wrist band, My Monkey pillow or the toys?? But which one?



My Lion, My Tiger....My OH My!



He was confused. His father decided it was time for a "talk". "How much do you think you have in your wallet?" There was an exchange of whispers.
William was ready.


William happy with his Holiday shopping.

Little Lila will have her new friend on Saturday.
The Owls hooted with glee!  

My Owl hooting with gleeeee
