Hope you find inspiration in this bright and cheerful collection of vintage wooden toys and beautiful collages by Brighton-based Eleanor Rudge. Enjoy!

Well hello Monday!

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend and are raring to go...

I thought we'd kick off with some fun inspiration from my favourite Russian family.

It's such a magical thing paper...

Colour My Monday #4

Pepa Prieto

Good Morning !
It's Monday, I have a new look and I'm happy.
How about you?

It's going to be a busy week here at Kickcan & Conkers.

It's almost a year since I started this blog and I'd like to celebrate with the opening of my little shop for kids and the young at heart. No exact date yet but hopefully early next week.

Until then, let's travel the world and be inspired...

My first port of call is Denmark.
Rikke Storm is an architect, designer and illustrator living in Copenhagen.

Her personal blog Drawings By Numbers, is full of her own beautiful creations and other inspiring work, including that of her 12 year old son Aldus.

Do have a look, I'm know you'll love her taste!

See you soon, in India this time!

Small is Beautiful

Aren't these photographs inspiring?

Artemis has just finished decorating ...

Now, that's what I call creative flair!

I'm only half-surprised though.

If you visit this couple's award-winning online vintage shop,
The Bucket Tree
take a look at their beautiful jewellry, sold in London and Tokyo
and follow Artemis' blog
you'll know exactly what I mean.
Oodles of talent, lots of hard work and a great sense of humour

Love it !
