Old Fashioned Blocks

Because I'm an auntie, I love toys and less-than-practical gifts! Lately I've been admiring really finely made blocks, here are two of my favorites:

The first are these beautiful Pastel Blocks made with entirely nontoxic finishes. They are available through Babybox.com for only $21. My other favorite are truly old fashioned. These beautiful, embossed blocks , available through Star Bright Kids Company and their storefront on Amazon.com, are $34.
