These are some of my favorite posts from around the web over the past week or so.

Lauren of with two cats has been working on the design for her daughter Violet’s Big Girl Room.  I love the update on the room’s progress and can’t wait to see it when it’s all done.  Aren’t the colors pretty?!

If you’re still shopping for gifts, try the selection of Handmade Dolls for the Holidays on Small for Big.  So many precious choices.  A lot of love goes into making beautiful dolls like these.

I spotted this colorful calendar in a colorful year… on Oh Joy!  Wouldn’t it be a great collection of colors for the nursery of a January baby?

If you’re at all interested in a black and white nursery, or just a way to use the black and white Missoni crib set from Target, look no further than this Black and White Circus Nursery on Look at the Birdie and Smile.

Finally, Holly posted about Dottir & Sonur on decor8 this week and I love everything on their website.  The origami pattern is particularly fresh and fun.  I can’t wait until these are available in stores.  I’ll keep you posted.

Hope you’re having a great weekend.  The holiday parties are starting so it’s an exciting time of year around here.  If you have a few moments while you’re finishing your online shopping, please share your feedback about BuyModernBaby in our annual reader poll.  It should take less than 5 minutes as there are only 10 questions.  Thanks for reading and I hope to bring you more of what you love in 2012!
