For You



A small bouquet* to say

Thank You

Over 1,000 Kickcan & Conkers followers, that's amazing!

I will be back later with a special vintage giveaway handpicked par moi.

In the mean time, why don't you have a look at the other items in

Dans L'Olivette










We've been in the olive grove behind our house tonight.
Andrée, our lovely neighbour, has been picking thyme,
Miles started collecting pine cones
But was too tired to carry them home.
We found a bothy,
Then the sun went down.

Shop Watch: Nonah




French children's furniture maker NONAH is enjoying a lot of back-to-school press coverage at the moment and it's easy to see why.



Alerce Stackable Toy Boxes

Made in Latvia from FSC-certified solid beech wood and coloured with ecological paints, NONAH's designs are smart, modular and fun.




I love the little hole and hide-away-space on the Zinda chair, 



the versatility of their storage solutions






and IKIPI, which my little Miles would play with for hours.


My tastes are changing a little I think; I set out looking for some vintage kids' furniture to share and ended up showing you this. Definitely one I will be following from now on !



Intro




Wakey-Wakey
Rise and Shine
It's Colour My Monday!

I hope these funny little creatures crafted by Czech FLER seller
will put a smile on your face this morning.

Old & New









Little Lord Miles has a smart new cap.
My new Milk Magazine is full of inspiration.
Oh more vintage treasures from our poster lady!

Montpellier at it's best, the old quarters, the city centre.
A gentle breeze, not too crowded, 
Everyone's gone to the beach.

I've seen so many new things this week it's difficult to choose just five.
