Oeuf Porcelain Brooches: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?

If you haven't noticed, we're pretty much obsessed with all things Oeuf.

If you haven't noticed, we're pretty much obsessed with all things Oeuf. The baby and kids' clothing and accessories, the furniture, the founders' home . . . all are perfection. But we haven't quite made up our mind about Oeuf's latest holiday offering: a collection of quirky porcelain brooches.

Handmade from France's famous Limoges porcelain, the brooches ($22-$26) come in three sizes and all feature fun sayings for kids of all ages. Go for a silly saying like "cereal killer" or "you talking to me?" or express your inner Francophile with brooches bearing phrases like "if I had a French accent I would never shut up" and "I speak Franglais." Holiday offerings include brooches saying "I've been good all year" and "I'm a good friend of Santa," along with the design-your-own large brooch, which has "all I want for Christmas is" on top with space below to draw your gift of choice. So what do you think of Oeuf's new brooches? Do they make the perfect kid-cessory, or will you be sticking to old-school buttons? Weigh in below.

Old-School Crafts From Sukie: Kid-Friendly or Are You Kidding?

I still remember doing iron-ons with my mom and making buttons at school fairs when I was a little kid, but, let's face it, that was almost 30 years ago, when my other big craft project was making Shrinky Dinks.


I still remember doing iron-ons with my mom and making buttons at school fairs when I was a little kid, but, let's face it, that was almost 30 years ago, when my other big craft project was making Shrinky Dinks. In short: things have changed. But when we received news that the awesome Sukie was adding iron-ons and make-your-own pins to their line, we were intrigued. The iron-on kit ($15) includes 80 unique designs that are made to be mixed and matched to create customized T-shirts, tote bags, and more, while the button factory ($19) includes everything you need to create fabric-covered pins, badges, and buttons. Check out some images of the craft kits above and let us know what you think.

Fabworthy: Grace Jones Flair

Want an instant injection of fierce?

Want an instant injection of fierce? Then you must get one of these Grace Jones Buttons ($3 each). A quickie lesson: She's a Jamaican-American singer, actress, and supermodel whose masculine appearance influenced the cross-dressing movement of the '80s. The image on the pin is from her 1981 album cover for Nightclubbing taken by Jean-Paul Goude. Twenty-five years later, the model and art director reunited on the set of V Magazine's Spring issue for which Jones is a cover girl. Viva, Grace!
