I love to decorate and my children’s room is a project in progress. The search is always on for creative toys and decorations that build on their already vivid imaginations. In that vein, I tend to avoid items that feature TV or commercial characters. Not that I have any trouble with Yo Gabba Gabba, Pooh Bear or Bob the Builder but I figure we have enough of their influence throughout the day. I’m all about balance these days.
Tree by Kerri Lee, a NY-state based artisan, has created the newest decorating addition to our household. Her handcrafted wooden elephant clock is simply adorable! Measuring at 12″ wide x 10″ tall, it is handpainted wood with clock numbers printed on natural wood and a saw tooth hanger on back to hang from a nail. It has Quartz clock movement and runs on one AA battery. The clock retails for $50 and you can go to www.treebykerrilee.com to find out where to buy one in your area.
Tree by Kerri Lee offers an entire line of baby gifts and room accessories that are vintage-inspired yet modern for today’s parents and children. The company is made up of talented,hard-working artisans who make ‘good baby goods’ in a century-old general store building, just two hours from New York City.
Why ‘tree’? It’s a nod to their products, many of which are made from wood, always responsibly harvested. It also brings to mind fun, happy activities they enjoyed as children, like climbing trees and swinging on a tree swing. And as Janice May Udry says in her 1956 Caldecott award-winning children’s book A Tree is Nice:
“Trees are very nice. They fill up the sky. They go beside the rivers and down the valleys. They live up on the hills. Trees make the woods. They make everything beautiful… “

The bird bookends would be perfect in my daughter’s room. I wish they had an owl or bird clock too!
