new prints


I'm finding myself dreaming of warm summer days, perhaps that's what inspired me!
I will have them listed in my shop by the end of the week!

DJECO matching game


It's always nice to receive an unexpected parcel in the mail, especially when they are the finished products of projects I have been working on. Djeco, a company based in Paris are leaders when it comes to stylish children's games, their packaging is really lovely too. This cute little game is for kids between 5-10, it involves matching either the hats, cheeks or the jumpers of cats, it's actually more challenging than it looks! (the eyes are just a red herring!)

Groovy, retro scales


I am very busy right now working on some hush hush projects, I can't wait to tell you about them!
Till then, you probably know by now, one of my fave past times is scouring my local second hand shops for mid century treasures. These scales leaped out at me today, this is why I love this era so much, not content with producing this practical (and often reviled) product, someone thought to them selves, why not "groovy" it up with a big green and blue butterfly! I have never really wanted to own scales but these are too good. (my husband chooses to disagree!)
Oh yes and this is my cushion all made up, its got a spring vibe, something we here in New Zealand are very much looking forward to!
