Five Faves #62

 Vehicle for Children - Masahiro Minami

I'm suppposed to be at a local flea market this morning but it's pouring it down.

It's not exactly the Braderie de Lille but it's usually one of the best vide grenier around, and I was so looking forward to a good rummage, never mind.

I hope your Sunday is shaping up better than mine.

Voici my Five Faves 

1)  Favourite AW 2011 Styling - Une Sardine à Rio

 2) Favourite New Kids' Collection - Anna Backlund's Five Friends for Mairo

 Because I have always loved these little characters, remember?

And in keeping with the eskimo theme

3) Favourite vintage illustrations -  Viagens aventurosas de felicio e felizarda ao Polo Norte by Ana de Castro Osorio

4) Favourite First Book - A collection of traditional Flemish children's songs illustrated by the lovely Trui Chielens

5) Favourite New Kids' Designs - Swing and Tent by Mouta

Don't forget to enter my vintage French poster giveaway, it ends tomorrow evening.

Now then, what are you looking so happy about?

The weekend's over isn't it?

Well yes it is but...

We've got a whole new week of Kickcan & Conkers to look forward to!

He's right you know,  always look on the bright side.

Meet you back here in a few hours for Colour My Monday, OK?

Not one but two fun feline faces to watch out for!

If you enjoyed this post and were disappointed to have missed the exhibition, you'll find Ingela's entire wood block collection inside her brand new book.

Ingela P. Arrhenius is a busy woman. She's just designed some rather special Christmas cards for Lagom that are sure to make you smile, and I was delighted thrilled to bits !!! to see Kickcan & Conkers mentioned in this interview.

Tack så mycket Ingela!

Colour My Monday #6

No, don't worry, I haven't forgotten, I know it's Colour My Monday time.

I'd like to celebrate the start of a new week with these fun illustrations by Milly Freeman.

Millie has a BA in illustration and has just graduated from Brighton University. I love the look of her prints and concertina books. If she ever starts to sell them, she knows I'll be first in line.

Have a quick look at her short Typetalk animation, it's a great idea!

Edit: check out this interview with Milly here

Shop Watch: Studio Nord

Vitrine de Mai

I love Marine Gobled's new online shop Studio Nord!
Based in Brussels, Marine has decided to present a collection of vintage and modern finds each month, starting with this tempting array of goods for May.
Everything you see here's for sale, so take your pick!



The site is in French but you should be able to manage with Google Translate and Marine may well speak English. Leave her a message if anything takes your fancy.

Can't wait to see what she finds for June...

Je suis tombée par hasard sur le nouveau magasin en ligne Studio Nord, et je l'adore!
Chaque mois Marine Gobled présente une nouvelle collection d'objets neufs et anciens, le tout mis en scène avec goût.
C'est par-ici, le joli mois de Mai
Vivement Juin!

Merci Pomme!
