I love the graphics on these vintage Space-O cards.
I bought a set for Miles last year.
Perfect for framing, don't you think?
Going, going, gone...

Shop Watch: Salon Elfi
If you like handmade wooden toys you'll probably enjoy browsing and perhaps buying some of the wares over at Salon Elfi. I have also spotted some lovely cards and decorations if you're starting to get in the festive mood...

Acorn Chains
I love these acorn garlands made my Maya and her little girl
What did I say earlier? Scissors and paper, that's all you need!

I love shopping online at the Tate!
Three special books to add to your wish-lists for Christmas...
Back to Basics
I could spend hours looking for unusual games and toys to share
I like original finds
But I for one know that kids are perfectly happy with the basics.
Give them a few pieces of coloured paper and a pair of scissors and let their imagination do the rest
Love Giddy Giddy's triangles!

Old School

Yes, I love vintage desks, peeling paint and old, shabby windows
BUT
Not when those desks haven't been touched since the 40's, are covered in ink and smell musty
And not when that paint and those windows are in my daughter's cramped classroom...
That is also the reality of life in our village in the South of France
I am angry and I am on the war path!
(These photos are "nice" photos of windows / paint in the village by the way, they're not from Savannah's school!)

The Good Life
Our garden is looking wonderful at the moment
Days like today I'm happy to live in the country
Looking forward to going back home at the weekend though!

As you all know, Monday is the day we celebrate colour on Kickcan & Conkers, so, I thought we'd kick off the week with Rupert Blanchard.
If you like the industrial look, hop over to Elemental to see his new laminated cupboards incorporating sections of enamelled steel advertising signs. Another wonderful example of what you can do with those three magic words
Reduce - Reuse- Recycle!
