Sponsor Meet & Greet: Molly-Meg
I have been blogging for two and a half years now and in that short space of time I have seen a few small flash-in-the-pan-businesses that had the internet a-buzzing then gradually faded away. Others have been more resilient, managing to adapt to a less favourable economic climate and coming out all the more better for it. I think Molly-Meg is one such entity.
Most of us will probably associate Molly-Meg with this image above. A collection of vintage children's chairs hanging from a balloon-filled tree. But it's much more than that now. Over time, Molly-Meg has expanded, blending old furniture with new, retro-style with modern. Exactly the kind of shop I love.
In addition to vintage furniture and decorative items for your home, Molly-Meg now carries a selection of designer toys, including brands such as Lucky Boy Sunday, Pakuis Oost, Little Red Stuga and Miller Goodman. There's something for every budget and the recent creation of a customised art section, including cards, prints, letters and numbers is proving very popular.
I imagine you have to be versatile, strong-willed and hard-working to make a brand stick. I think Molly-Meg has all of those qualities and I am looking forward to watching the company grow. With a bit of luck (how could I forget that?), the rest will be plain sailing...

Good Morning
Happy Monday!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. What did you get up to?
I would have loved to have visited some of the Christmas craft and design fairs that have been on in London and Paris but I've done enough travelling for a while. Miles and Savannah have been poorly so we stayed at home and I've been tweaking my own little online shop. With a bit of luck it will be ready tomorrow evening.
Until then, here are five favourites from last week, enjoy:
1) Favourite new print - May, Le Train Fantôme
2) Favourite vintage find, from new-to-me Lucine Vintage - Wicker rocking horse
3) Favourite kids' art project - Cardboard cars, Atelier pour enfants
4) Favourite self-published book - Portal Encantado (Enchanted Portal) by Thereza Rowe
5) Favourite details - Jessica Quinn's new handmade dolls, in her new Bigcartel shop
A très bientôt !

Tu m'étonnes !
L'Atelier de Marie et Rose-Alice is always full of little surprises
And Christmas is no exception
Beautiful handmade accessories, linen, ceramics and clothes await you
But be quick, those cute little brooches made for Advent are selling fast.
One of my favourite online addresses.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
You made it to the weekend
A gold (well green) star for you
Time to have some fun...
Wishing you all a great weekend!
