Etsy Finds: The New Creative Art Book

I'm always on the look out for nursery rhyme illustrations and love the simplicity of this interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and The Three Bears.

 It's been a while since I've found anything vintage and frame-worthy on etsy but these pages from The New Creative Art Book (1937) fit the bill for me.

I particularly like this large page of health posters costing $3.50 and would love to flick through the entire resouce book for art teachers, which I believe was written by Bess Eleanor Foster.

Etsy Finds: Harper & Ford

Calling all Charles Harper fans!

These two vintage Ford Times booklets, published by Ford Motors, were illustrated by Charley in the 60's and would look fabulous framed.

$5 a piece from  Little Acorn Vintage - going, going, gone!

Onwards and Upwards

Well, hello there!

I'd like you to meet Monsieur et Madame Optimiste, just one of my many discoveries over at Poppytalk Handmade's new affordable art market. It's raining and grey here today so I'm desperate for some sunny fun.

Happy Monday - The only way is up!

Salut ! Salut !

J'aimerais vous présenter Monsieur et Madame Optimiste, une de mes  nombreuses découvertes au nouveau marché virtuel Poppytalk Handmade ce matin.

Il fait mauvais ici dans le sud, pluie et ciel gris. On a drôlement besoin de soleil et de sourires.

Toujours plus loin, toujours plus haut - Joyeux Lundi!

Remember!

Bewildered Tales

 

 

 

I love Kay Van Bellen's work (you may remember this?), so I was so pleased to see her getting the attention she deserves in Small Magazine last year.

Kay recently opened an online shop selling her beautiful Bewildered Tales art, screenprints, badges, stationary and this gorgeous tea towel.

Go have a gander and treat yourself to a little  something, I bet it will be the start of a very nice, affordable art collection...

Christmas Rules!

Dans Ma Vieille Bagnole

At long last, Les Happy Vintage have some more of their wonderful vintage automobile posters in stock.

I bought one for Dylan for his birthday earlier this year and we all love it. If you're looking for original Christmas gift ideas for the big and little men in your life, or if you're a nostalgic Francophile at heart, these three stylish posters Made in France will brighten up any room. Be quick to leave a message though if you're interested, ces petites voitures are hugely popular and disappear before you have time to say Jacques Robinson.

Colour & Clancy

I absolutely adore these vintage tinted photographs from Clancy's Classics.

Ephemera with a modern twist - a touch of colour makes all the difference!

Etsy Finds - Stig Lindberg

I don't normally post anything other than my Five Faves on a Sunday but it's raining and everyone's having an afternoon nap after our trip to the ice-rink this morning.Yawn!

 I thought I'd nip in quickly and show you these two fun illustrations that I found on etsy yesterday. Taken from a vintage Swedish children's book called "ABC" by  Stig Lindberg and Britt G. Hallqvist (1953), I think these two pages would look great framed in a children's room, regardless of whether or not you understand Swedish. You may have noticed that I have a weak spot for circuses, and I like vintage finds and foreign languages, so...

Bears, Mountains and Raindrops

She got off to an excellent start and her shop just keeps getting better and better

Love Kerry's new prints and postcards!

The Seventy Tree

Head in the Clouds

Love this new Cloud Head postcard by La Casita et (SC)!

ABC-as Easy as 1-2-3

Simply beautiful!

Lucie Pritchard's screen printed fabric Alphabet and Number cards would look lovely grouped together in a nursery, don't you think?

Oh, Oh, It's Space-O!

I love the graphics on these vintage Space-O cards.

I bought a set for Miles last year.

Perfect for framing, don't you think?

Going, going, gone...

Today

Hey, a new week ahead and it's gonna be a good one!

And I love you she said
