I noticed it, and so did Heather. Little painted wooden baby stuff is posting all over Blogville. I don’t know if there is a name for this style of cuteness, but I love it.
These little nursery rhyme friends are from my actual baby mobile. I had planned on using it for my babies, but when I saw the “dangerous-by-today’s-standards” contraption they were hanging from, I changed my mind.

Thanks to Heather and Hillary for reminding me about my cast of characters.
Oh Betz! I have the same mobile! I was concerned about safety issues as well when I has mt two girls but i wanted it to be oart of their room so I hung it a little higher, just over their door. I also have a Hansel & Gretl lamp that matches. There must have been a whole fairy-tale theme for baby’s room the year they made all that stuff. 🙂
They are adorable for adults, I would have them in my room 🙂 Love wooden decorations, I used to have some tradtional Christmas tree ones.
Betz, I have lots of them too. the wooden ones are made by Irmi. I took the handle off the mobile and hung the twirling part from the ceiling on a little hook. My three year old had a room full of them. They are so wonderful.
Betz, those are fantastic! What a treasure – and an heirloom, no less? You’re a lucky lady.
These are so cute! I use the lamps with those wooden characters in my son’s room. (I think he currently has Humpty Dumpty in there.)
