Five Faves #46

 Back to Basics!

Holiday time at last!

Dylan, Savannah and Miles broke up for two weeks on Friday and we celebrated with a long lie in, a leisurely breakfast and a slow, pleasant Saturday. Feels good!

Not so sure I'll be quite as fresh and upbeat tomorrow; it's almost 3 am here and I'm wide awake, beavering away.

I'll let you know if I find anything at the flea market in Montpellier, if I get up, I'm in the mood for some digging and delving - wish me luck!

Here are last week's Five Faves:

1) Favourite Handmade Toys, or should I say, Child's Accessory... - Varpu's felt houses

2) Favourite Craft Tutorial - Ann Wood's paper mache teacups, divine!

3) Favourite New Discovery - Lynn Jackson *

4) Favourite Children's Clothes - Bouille de Clown**

5)  Favourite Laughter  - So nice to see and hear you Ryoko Ishii!***

See ya later gaters!

Shop Watch: Little Studio

I'm very impressed by this new, smart Swedish shop that I spotted a few weeks ago via Varpunen. Mamamekko's Little Studio offers an ever-evolving selection of striking and very reasonably priced modern prints for the whole family. I think you'll enjoy her blog too. Both sites are in Swedish but you'll get the gist with Google Translate. Little Studio ships within the EU and Norway and payment is via Paypal.
Definitely worth keeping an eye on I'd say...
