On Sunday I was tipped off to hit a great design market near our house. That hit both of my Sunday requirements: 1) markets - which I love 2) nearby - because I'm inherently lazy. Bingo! We had Sunday plans and before I knew it, we headed off in the chilly, but sunny weather to discover some treasures.
By far one of my favorite finds at this indoor/outdoor market with tons of great stalls from independent designers (who are the best kind to support IMO), was a Cardboard Birdhouse that both Lil'Miss and I fell in love with at the same time. I'm not sure if it's clear from the products that we sell at Shak-Shuka, but we are all about the recycled/recyclable-ness of cardboard, and this little ditty of a Birdhouse is just that! Made from water-resistant cardboard, and it comes packed flat, kids and adults have a ball painting, decorating, and then easily assembling the birdhouse together. It even comes with this adorable little wooden dowel for the birdies to stand on when they're going in and out! After becoming a happy customer, I inquired about the company who makes these, and it's Kikkerland - a design company that makes a slew of other "green" products, of which I am currently obsessed with the Rainbowmaker, Solar Disco Ball, and more. Kikkerland isn't just making our family and our outdoor birdies happy, but the environment and design-lovers everywhere!
