A Walk in The Park










A few images from our walk through Les Jardins de La Fontaine in Nîmes yesterday afternoon.
It's a beautiful place, when are you coming?

Zoe de Las Cases



 I've been in love with her work from day one, it's perfect for me...
Just the right amount of colour, quirkiness and fun
 Modern retro with a feelgood vibe
Zest and sunshine all year round

Génial!

Colour & Clancy







I absolutely adore these vintage tinted photographs from Clancy's Classics.
Ephemera with a modern twist - a touch of colour makes all the difference!

Route 66 #2

I thought it was about time I revived my Route 66 feature that I started long ago. If you remember, the idea was to have a look at what children around the world were watching on TV in 1966, the year that I was born. Mary, Mungo and Midge was one of favourite programmes. Created in 1969 by John Ryan for the BBC, Mary, Mungo and Midge, was one of the first British children's animations to be set in an urban environment. Does anyone else remember that lift?


I've also discovered another wonderful link via Smaller. 


 If you enjoy classic cartoons from the UK, Czech Republic, Latvia, Hungary and France...and like me, try to find things for your children that are a little off the beaten track, have a look at Bunnyears.tv, a free web tv station for three years and up created by Judy Blumstock. New episodes are posted every Wednesday morning and this week's programmes include The Clangers (!), another of my favourites, Bagpuss and the lovely Chapi Chapo. A real little gem not to be missed!

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