On The Ball

  On The Ball ?

Well, obviously not, because I've never seen these unusual wooden figures before but I will definitely be following Swiss design studio Small Stuff from now on.

Pepe founded Small Stuff to colloborate with local and international artists, designers and illustrators on limited-edition designer toy & gadget products. His figures are all sculpted, carved, molded, cast, painted and packaged by hand in his studio.

Check out Pepe's blog to learn more about his latest fun ArboRobot creations, Ramble & Roam, made with london-based toy designer Cris Rose.

You know I love spots,

Have an eye for all things quirky

And share a liking for red hair

So you won't be at all surprised to know I love

Ola & Olek 

It's wonderful to see Lili Scratchy's daughters' drawings on the tees and pillows in this new Australian trans-seasonal collection. Rose and Lison (age 5 and 10 respectively) are talented little artists who always make me smile - remember?

A little birdie told me that Fifi The Poodle is the start of something very special too...

Summer time

In early October

It feels like it anyway

Precious moments

In the sun

Before the leaves

Fall, fall

Again

Pottering here and there

In the house

Cleaning, thinking

Organising home and mind

Do you do that? 

It does me good

From time to time

I always find Kim's shop so inspiring!

Contrast

 

White against black

Or white against white

Same difference...

I'm a simple girl at heart and

I love today's fleamarket finds!
