Pastel Patina

Wooden eggcups painted by Noodle and Lou

You might like to take a look at UK company Patchwork Harmony's* vintage section where I came across these pretty pastel finds (these colourful chaps are rather nice too).

Vintage wooden house blocks

Vintage wooden Alphabet tiles

I also love the beautiful work of Pastel Toys, a toy factory based in the Kishorit Kibbutz in Israel.
These toys are handmade by people with special needs and have both a timeless and modern feel to them.





Pastel Toys have an online shop in English, as well as supplying other stores around the world, including The Tribe, in Australia.

    the pastel toys are just marvelous, and i like the "story behind" - where and how they're manufactured.
