Shall We Dance?

 La Princesse au Petit Pois S/S 2012 - Part 2

Alexandra has done it again!

Can't you just feel that cool linen, hear those long Summer skirts swaying as she dances, as free as the wind?

I love the movement and texture in these beautiful photographs taken by Anne Soulier and am certain that Savannah will be wearing some pretty pink polkadot bloomers in a couple of weeks!

Looks like you're going to be busy again Alexandra!

Shop Watch: Ouistitine

I am absolutely smitten with Ouistitine's handmade little boy dolls.

I discovered Camille's upcycled eco-friendly cuddly toys and blankets this morning via Poppytalk (she is the new Dispatches from Montreal contributor), and have yet to fully explore her blog and website, but I think you can get a good idea of the quality of her work in these three images alone.

Love, love, love all those dolls!

Right, I'm off back in to get a better look!

A Mighty Find

I couldn't resist sharing this wonderful handmade vintage folk toy I found in the Mighty Finds etsy store a while back.

I bought Miles Miller Goodman's Facemaker for his birthday yesterday and he has taken it to school to show all his friends. He would have loved this set of blocks when he was younger.

Going, going, gone?

High Five #15

Bonjour!

A slow start for me today after a very short night's sleep.

We were up before the crack of dawn, to say goodbye to Dylan leaving for Florence this morning.

Coffee, coffee, coffee.

I have a busy week ahead, so something simple but beautiful to kick off the week.

Saturday 31st March 2012.

The day that Montpellier sat outside at a café to enjoy the sun.

(Yes, I know, I'll be applying for a job at the Tourist Office in the not too distant future..)

Five Faves #69

Love Lisa Rendina's new mobiles!

 I'm cheating a bit here

Spring has sprung and there are lots of pretty things out there all of a sudden.

So, not five but ten.

A double dose of faves for this happy sunny weekend

Enjoy!

 

KoKoKo Kids has put together a brilliant DIY puppet theatre post

Hazel and her family painted a fabulous Easter menagerie wall for Freya's 7th birthday - love!

Milimbo has brought out a new Brothers Grimm Poster - gorgeous colour combo

Erika (Miko Design) has made an amazing Must-See Magritte Detective Party magazine, it's brilliant!

Lieschen Mueller's bunny pillow made me smile.

Did you catch my first Dispatches from France post over at Poppytalk on Monday?

Love Claire's wire Easter egg tutorial (in French so use an online translation tool)

 

Masao Seki's recent solo exhibition at Five From The Ground looks breathtakingly beautiful.

Finding this amazing clay architecture wall installation by Artisanie Europe made my week

If only I had the money to commission one for my home!

Have a great weekend!
