Olivelse

There are certain places on the web that you just have to know about and Olivelse (Olivier and Else) is one of them. If you've never visited this French husband and wife team's wonderfully inspiring blog, you need to head there now! Who cares if it's in French? This couple have great taste, a fantastic eye for colour and graphic design and their blog is chock-full of amazing links and beautiful photos. I'm telling you!
Olivelse is very well established in the French children's market and beyond. The couple have just opened a new online shop selling their latest range of irresistible products, including their signature soft toy /cushion ukeleles, children's bedding, bags and softies, all made from beautiful, colourful fabrics sourced in Japan, France, Belgium, Australia and the US.

Olivelse also runs an online vintage shop where you can find a selection of retro kids' furniture, fabric, books and the odd toy, like this cute pull-along Fisher Price teddy from the early '50s. Check in regularly to see their latest finds, and act quickly if something takes your fancy - Olivelse is hugely popular and things tend to disappear before you can say Oh la la!

I know a special small snow place

the small snow shop

where little babes snuggled warm and tight fly off to the Land of Nod
then sail away in paper boats on seas of soft vanilla flakes

where little tots clad in fleece and cape lie and laugh in fields of candy stripes and pretty flowers red

where youth has no age, dreams are sweet and childhood play pure joy

children
wool, twigs, paper
cotton, thread, ink
photography, illustration, design

nine talented french artists
nine fine french blogs
one small snow shop

take a peek
but sh!
tread lightly
you might wake the baby...
