I love these new handpainted wooden coaster sets by

Ekaterina Trukham

(Remember her Russian dolls? )

A nice idea for a kids' Mix n' Match game too, eh Ekaterina?

Sticks & Stones

Sticks and Stones may break my bones

But words will never hurt me.

Arrows, cannon balls and slingshots...

Christopher Jarratt's signed and numbered limited-edition slingshots are made from found fork tree branches collected in one of the last great forests of England: Epping Forest. 

Crafted from sycamore, beech, oak and silver birch, no two slingshots are the same, and each one bears the name of its original location. As well as making a unique gift for someone special, I'm sure that these slingshots would make a stunning display feature in any room, particularly grouped together.

 Jarratt's slingshots (giant-sized and "normal") are available from Moss.

Un vrai coup de foudre - Love!

Spools

Oh-so-pretty ones*

Down-to-the-core ones

Sporty strongman ones

Oh-I'm barely-dressed ones

One-day-I'll-be-a-candle ones

Funny how spools have so much personality...

Sleeping Forest

I LOVE Lauren Soloy's new bathers inspired by old photographs and driftwood. So beautiful! Her new work is currently showing at the Moorings Gallery in Nova Scotia, and she hopes to make some similar pieces for her etsy shop in the not too distant future.

Lauren and Jai Soloy make gorgeous, mostly wooden, objects for the home. I particularly like their handmade toys (you may remember their colourful spinning tops in my "I like" sidebar a while ago)

and quirky, one-off Whirligig's. What fun!

Happy Browsing!
