Circo! Circo!

I've had my beady eye on these collages for a long time.

Alexandra's fun, limited-edition circus postcards (pack of five) would look beautiful framed in a nursery or child's room (who am I kidding, I'm forty-four and I've just ordered a set for myself!), and can be yours for only 5 EUR. 

You might like to take a look at her linen circus performer softies while you're over there as well...you can never have too much of a good thing, right?
