Nechepurenka has been busy making new friends and accessories, ready to leave their native Russia and fly off to lands afar. Seldom have I seen such wonderful handmade soft toys. I hope you'll take a peek at her magical world and perhaps fall in love with something in her sale ( + free shipping!) ...

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.

Nechepurenka

It's way past my bedtime but I've been waiting for this moment for so long!
Ladies & Gentleman, drum roll please...

Nechepurenka's beautiful shop full of one-of-a-kind handmade toys & accessories is now open!
Congratulations, it's perfect!

Happy Monday!

Take your time

Perhaps not the best post for those in a hurry, zipping along from one blog to the next, but if you have 5 minutes, either now or later, I'm sure you'll appreciate this beautiful animation. I did.

Prenez le temps de regarder cette petite animation, maintenant ou quand vous voulez, vous ne le regretterez pas!
