Ahoy There!




I have " a thing" for signals and codes, so when I saw these three vintage marine signal flags, I just had to share. Perfect for adding a touch of colour to a boy's room don't you think?

Christobal Schmal

I dipped into the wonderful, colourful world of Cristóbal Schmal yesterday and loved everything I saw. I think you'll enjoy his work too...

Christel Hoksbergen



Good Morning!
Il Fait Chaud !
Yesterday we started off nice and slowly, in the shade.
Today I'm craving colour.
Christel Hoksbergen's beautiful embroidery, cushions and feltwork are just perfect.

Colorito




Have you seen the latest issue of LMNOP?
It's free, downloadable and fun!
Colour & Shapes, I think this is my favourite issue so far.

Colorito, by Japanese toy maker Mapa, is just one of the many fab toys and activities featured, and boy am I smitten!

Children can either use the 19 pairs of eyes, noses, mouths and cheek shapes to create endless funny faces or play classic games like matching pairs and concentration. Colorito comes with two boards and is housed in a wooden box. It's beautiful!

See list of stockists here.

Etsy Find - Counting

I keep stumbling on this illustration from a 1950's children's book.
I'm sure it would look lovely framed.
