Give Me Three #93



 

Un bosque en las sierras
 
Paola Zakimi's new handmade brooches are just so delicate and pretty
To wear or to frame

Chasse au Soleil













We walked and talked, then walked some more.
An hour or so, hand in hand,
Miles and I, following the Winter sun,
Chiarascuro, round our village.
Step by step come shadows,
Then, a-blaze, jewel-like,
Le soleil d'hiver
Says goodbye.



Hey, Peace Man!




1,2,3, partez !
On your marks, get set, go!

The sales have started in France today so there will be plenty of discounted goodies available off and online. I'm afraid I just can't face the crowds in Montpellier or Nîmes so we will be spending our mercredi-craft&activity-noschool-day at home in the country.
Far from la folie et les foules.

I love these handpainted Peace and Angry Boy tees for little ones over at the RK Shop.
And they're on sale now...

Just Because






Just because...
They are two incredibly talented, creative ladies.
Do yourself a favour and go browse Lord Whitney's portfolio (remember?).
I love their inner animal spirit sculptures, Christmas Robin and chemical elements costumes, in particular.

Yes, I'm looking forward to having a cup of tea with these two quirky characters next time I'm back in Leeds!

Cadja C'est Cute






Ceramics, c'est très tendance, you know.
One of my favourite off and on-line stores Serendipity, Paris, has just introduced an exclusive line of handmade and handpainted ceramics by Cadja. 



Flat Pack





It's nice to see so many cardboard toys around.
The playtent looks fun, don't you think? 
And I wouldn't mind a set of those tables and chairs for myself.
