Uno, dos, très

Three adorable, one-of-a-kind handcrafted rag dolls by the ever-so talented Eva a.k.a. Misako Mimoko. This Barcelona-based artist's work was selected for the new Whipup.net 2010 calendar together with pieces by a couple of my favourite crafters Margie Oomen and Ann Wood.


The calendar is available through redbubble for Australians and the rest of the world. And through lulu for US residents.

Where's the sunshine?

Woke up this morning and it's gone.
Un ciel gris.
Just a dull, grey, overcast sky.
I think I need one of these gorgeous prints from Fréya Art & Design to cheer me up.

I'm also going to kick off my shoes, turn up the volume and sing and dance to this. Go on, enjoy yourself!

Poppytalk finds

Have you ever paid a visit to Poppytalk Handmade, the monthly online street market curated by Poppytalk? I love it, there's a new market each month and at the moment the theme is 'Home Sweet Home' running to August 15. Poppytalk have the knack for finding really original emerging designers so I always fall in love with something. I have to admit that several pieces have caught my eye this time, including

She embroiders by Mary's Granddaughter

Knife picture holders by Monkeys always look

Three old French pharmacy bottles customised with wire by De Beaux Souvenirs

(I absolutely adore all of this woman's work)

My favourite market finds are these beautiful photographs by Bucks County Frames






I started looking for some nice photography for Dylan's bedroom last summer when we moved. He's thirteen and being arty has good taste (barring the head-to-toe, wall-to-wall Che Guevara trend, but ...). We've found a few pieces of vintage signage and some old French automobile posters so far. These photographs would be great - for his room, our living room, our kitchen...
They're so beautiful and there are so many more on the photographer's site, it's difficult to choose really. Bucks also sells fabulous handcrafted eco-friendly frames with no nasty VOCs. Fine photography in fine frames, sounds perfect!

Little Pink Houses

I love Lisa Congdon's art. I love her sense of colour and composition. I think that what I find the most inspiring about her work is that she is a self-taught multimedia artist and illustrator. I also like collections of things and so does Lisa. No wonder then that I have fallen in love with her work for the Little Pink Houses show at the Curiosity Shoppe, conceived in collaboration with another great San Francisco-based artist and friend Mati McDonough. The show runs until 31 September.
