Etsy Finds - Stig Lindberg



I don't normally post anything other than my Five Faves on a Sunday but it's raining and everyone's having an afternoon nap after our trip to the ice-rink this morning.Yawn!
 I thought I'd nip in quickly and show you these two fun illustrations that I found on etsy yesterday. Taken from a vintage Swedish children's book called "ABC" by  Stig Lindberg and Britt G. Hallqvist (1953), I think these two pages would look great framed in a children's room, regardless of whether or not you understand Swedish. You may have noticed that I have a weak spot for circuses, and I like vintage finds and foreign languages, so...

Sketchbook Surprise

Quinquabelle pointed me in Sévérin Millet's direction yesterday when she posted the author / illustrator's painted wooden figures on her blog.
I have fallen in love with Sévérin's sketchbooks.
So very inspiring, don't you think?

As easy as A,B,C




But is it I wonder? Test your French and see if you can find the 20+ words beginning with A, B and C in these fabulous French blotters from the '60s. I have the full set and shall shortly be selling them in my little shop. The colours really are stunning and I think they would look fantastic framed. Allez, on cherche !
