Give Me Three #89

I'm going round in circles...

Taking a break from my shop

I head on over to pinterest

Stumble upon Sutnar

Am taken by these tokens

And follow the link to Rijada,

Remember?

Oh look

I'm back to where I started...

Give Me Three #88

I received so many lovely cards, presents and messages from around the world this year.

THANK YOU!

A special mention for this beautiful Estonian horse and French linen teddy bear, 

they're both very happy in my bedroom.

MERCI !

Feeling rested and relaxed

A new week, the last

A new year, then...

Out with the old

In with the new

For you to explore and enjoy.

Thank you!

Up, Up & Away

 

Well, the Kickcan & Conkers shop is finally airborne!

Thank you so much for all your orders, comments, blog posts, tweets, emails...

I appreciate each and every one of them.

It's looking a bit empty already so I'm working on an update, including this amazing French baby in an airplane! I let you know when its online.

Merci!

Shop Watch: Kickcan & Conkers

Ha! 

That's it!

Shop Watch

Get it?

 No, I'm only pulling your leg.

Two and a half years ago  I bought a beautiful 1950's toy shop at a French flea market. I decided that I didn't want to go back to translating monotonous telecommunications manuals after maternity leave so I started to write a blog.

It's taken me all this time to get here. It has been a wonderful, exciting, enriching journey and I can't wait to wake up each morning to discover new artwork, share new finds and connect with new talented, interesting people around the world.

Last year, Michelle Marshall left a comment voting for Kickcan & Conkers in a blogging competition. She said that my blog was " a visual treasure box for young and old alike". I love that, and in time I really hope that my little shop will be like that too.

It's very small, but it's a start. You will see that I do not follow fashion, I never have done and never will. I love so many things, old and new. I've featured quite a few of the items in my shop on K&C before, long ago. They've appeared on other sites since but I still like them as much because they're different.

The people I have chosen to work with are all people I admire. I believe they have something special and will go far. I'd like to thank them for their patience and support.

Kickcan & Conkers isn't just for kids, it's quirky, nostalgic, design-led and will hopefully make you smile.

So, I hope you won't be too disappointed by its size and that you will look forward to all the other wonderful things I will be adding as of tomorrow...

 

Thanks for waiting so long, 

A new adventure begins,

It's over here
