Hello!

 I thought I'd just drop in and say hi!

I hope you're all having a great weekend.

à bientôt!

#FF: Floral & Fruity

  It's Follow Friday on Twitter so time for another #FF post on K&C.

Today I'd like to share a very special link to the beautiful world of

Beatrice Oettinger

Experimenting with nature and fashion, costume design and textile sculpture, her precious garments smell of fresh rose petals or jasmine, and are adorned with birch, poppyseed capsules and St Johns Wort.

"Magic Clothes for Magic Moments"

I invite you to discover more.

Thank you

High Five #42

Hands up if you like Norwegian artist / illustrator Cecile Ellefsen's work!

If you're not familiar with her impressive portfolio, I suggest starting with her sketchbooks (such beauty!), then grab yourself a drink and sit down for five minutes to peruse her art, illustration and product design (lovely, lovely fabrics).

These five posters would be fun in any modern home, and most certainly please your kids!

Made with Love by Cecile

 

First Steps #6

If you follow me on Facebook and Twitter you will already have heard that I've decided to revive my First Steps feature. I thought it would be a bit fun in the run up to Christmas...

So after my husband, Joel, Maddie, Hazel, Ingela and Cristina, here am I teetering on two chubby legs forty-five years ago.

Please send me an email with a photo if you think you have something suitable.

Cock-a-Doodle-Doo

A cheerful selection of red and blue prints to start your day and mine.

Both Snug and The Red Door Gallery carry work by some of my favourite artists, including

these few by Mina Braun and Karoline Rerrie.

Happy Wednesday!

You may have noticed that I've been spending quite a lot of time on Bigcartel recently.

Don't forget their store directory, there are so many good shops in there 
(including my own!)

Late to bed, early to rise,

I need some colour and coffee

To start my day.

Minimalism to uplift.

Love Heather Chontos' work from

Happy Colour My Monday!

 

Just Three

 

Yes,

Just three,

But so beautiful to me.

Ahhh! 

To sleep, to dream...

Bonne nuit

Pretty In Pink

 

It's most probably the weather, so damp and dreary aujourd'hui, but oh! I need some colour!

Luckily, I have some very inspiring sponsors, so, if you're feeling the same,  look no further than Lapin & Me.

Madeleine and her young daughter Delphine put together some beautiful, bright collections, including their own ever-popular Japanese dolls and lamps, Nathalie Lété's pretty wallpapers, plushies and Mickey Wolders' very sweet jewelry. I love the latter's work in particular.

Keep your eye on this pretty bunny, lots of new Christmas stock will be arriving soon!
