Feeling Fruity

Bored with potato printing? Why not take a tip from Filippa and have a go with apples, pepper and even fennel (she swears it makes great beetles!)?

 You could also use Jackson Lam's ABCDEFruit and Vegetable book to inspire you.

Printed using actual fruits and vegetables, each page contains an "A is for Apple" line and a fruit stamp print corresponding to each letter of the alphabet. Some of the pages have been left blank for your little ones to print in. A lovely birthday gift to bear in mind.

On a personal note, I wanted to say how pleased I was to see that people are starting to pin images from K&C - A perfect end to a perfect week - thanks!

Design Letters

Now that's what I call great styling! Makes me want to run out and buy a bagfull straightaway. Design Letters are gracing the walls, shelves, doors, floors (?) and perhaps even ceilings (??) of kids and kids-at-heart in Denmark. A gold star for Mette Thomson and E-types for bringing back those magnetic-type letters (and blackboards) I played with long ago.
Made from wood and standing 12cm tall, Design Letters can be bought online here.
