Victoria P. Zurcher Designs:
Hip, Fresh, Stylish, Original

vpzcircleonly2.jpgIf you spend much time talking with children, especially those in the three to eight-year-old range, as they are getting to know you and trying to figure out who you are, they will inevitably ask you, “What’s your favorite color?” Even if they don’t ever ask you about yours, they will certainly let you know, “Blue is my favorite color.”

My nine-year-old daughter has recently become obsessed with penguins, and she loves having that as a personal theme. My son has a preschool classmate who likes elephants. Anytime we see an elephant, he shouts, “Kenny likes elephants!”

They have it figured out–the colors and symbols that we choose can help to define us, or at least give us an element of unique personal style. We decorate our babies’ nurseries before we know anything about their personalities–why not continue that throughout childhood, letting their tastes or personalities dictate the products that surround them?

Victoria P. Zurcher designs has set out to do just that. Five years ago after her daughter Sydney was born, she ended up creating products for her daughter because she couldn’t find colors and styles that appealed to her. The unique designs appealed to friends and family as well who encouraged her to start a business. Another WAHM is born!

Browse her site, and you will be amazed at all the products she offers:

  349. I am so impressed. These are darling! I wish _I_ needed a lunchbox. O well. My favorite would probably be the red and blue stripe… or the pink poodle… or dots and blocks. What is wrong with thise picture??

    Reply

  366. I’ll read the directions correctly next time! I am totally blaming it on the lack of coffee.
    I love the purple poodle color combo and my daughter saw it before she left for school and let out a squeal of delight! I was left with instructions to rob her piggy bank if necessary to get her one, she knows funds are very tight here. I can’t rob her piggy bank but I can hope to win the lottery here and if not I’ll figure it out when I get to that point.
    I think she likes it because is is going to be a 4th grader next year and this is a bit more grown up and not so babyish.
