Tu Me Fais Tourner La Tête

French children went back to school today.

I thought it would be nice to celebrate by taking a peek at this beautiful 

new AW children's collection by

Le Carrousel

Accompanied by Edith, of course.

C'est Chouette!

I never tire of vintage flashcards, as you know.

L'Imprimante has found a few more unusual ones from the fifties,

Made in France, bien sûr

Quirky, colourful and fun  - going, going gone!

I love this series of photos from new-to-me

I like mountains and I miss our old country house in Les Cévennes

Caroline Gomez has added three new mountain products to her beautiful shop

Inspiration: La Vie en Rose

I've fallen head over heels in love (it's the coffee...) with Linda Dacey's collages incorporating vintage French finds.

I've mentioned Linda's little vintage boutique before and am pleased to see her using her artistic talents. 

Odd & Old -One to bookmark me thinks.

J'Adore Julie Adore

 I'm ever-so smitten with Julie Adore's paper dolls. Wouldn't they look great framed, strung up together on a wall or brought to life on film?

Julie's paper friends are for sale if you're interested. Just leave her a message or send her an email and they can be yours.

I love her creative world, remember?

Un grand coup de foudre pour ces petits personnages rigolos crées par Julie Adore.

Je les imagine bien encadrés, animés, ou en guirlande, pas vous?

Les poupettes en papier sont à vendre, il suffit d'envoyer un petit courrier à leur gentille maman russe, et hop...

Une de mes créatrices préférées.

La Couleur des Anges

Oh My! 

It was this image that first caught my eye

Oh là là! J'arrive, et je vois cette image-là

Then I looked a little closer

Puis, intéressée, je commence à regarder tout ça de plus près

And I really liked what I saw

Eh, oui, j'aime beaucoup !

If you're smitten too, why not leave La Couleur des anges a message to let her know? She's celebrating her first year on the web and is giving one of her dolls away before selling the rest online.

Very much looking forward to seeing her new shop!

C'est votre journée de chance aujourd'hui ! Si, si, si! Si vous aimez ces jolies demoiselles, laissez un message sur le site de  La Couleur des anges. Elle fête son premier anniversaire et organise un petit jeu. Pour avoir une chance de remporter une poupée de votre choix il suffit d'en parler sur votre blog si vous en avez un et/ou de lui laisser un comm...

En tout cas, j'ai hâte de voir son nouveau magasin ...

Fresh French Faces

Audrey Jeanne has been busy designing a new website, a new line of stationery for Chacha, and some new friendly faces for her shop

She's another of my faves so I love to pop in from time to time to see what she's been doing.
Definitely one to bookmark!

Coathangers

Guirlande

Keep your eye on Livette La Suissette. Livie Bélaz Lebeau has put together a small, colourful collection of practical home accessories with kids in mind. I love the hazelnut coathangers and this Paris kit, including a make-your-own Eiffel Tower, pretend metro tickets, a Tour de France cyclist and a beautiful screenprinted bag (temporarily out of stock).

Abracadabra

I keep stumbling upon sweetness, hope you don't mind?

I came across Abracadabra's little brooches, pocket dolls and dashing men friends a couple of days ago and really like their faces and the designer's use of colour.

The shop is in French but you can pay online if you see anything that tickles your fancy.

Laetitia le Saux

Aren't these soft toys wonderful?
I discovered French illustrator artist/maker Laetitia le Saux's work through this great site

Les Petits Pois sont Rouges

where she sells also sells her beautiful paper collages


Check out Marion Piffereti's sweet paintings and Sonia Lucano's dolls too.
A nice address is you're looking for a unique handmade gift from France!
