Playing Cat & Mouse

I love these Cat & Mouse counting and alphabet posters from Minimega printed with vegetable-based inks on 100% recycled paper.

A really nice find via Ungtblod.

A Vida Portuguésa

Do you like this tin donkey? I do. I spotted it on Rosa Pomar's wonderful blog before Christmas and curious to know more, followed the link to A Vida Portugésa, a marvellous online shop selling traditional Portuguese products used by young and old alike. The A Vida Portugésa team have scoured the land to find classic objects "with a soul", and have put together a charming collection of stationery, books, toys, embroidery, homeware and condiments/delicatessen food. Here are some of my favourites (you may wish to hide your credit card before I begin...)

A collector's set of Viarco crayons.
