High Five

Sneaky is more like a tiger cub than a house cat. 

And she thinks Ari is a tiger cub too, I think. 

The two of them spend hours playing together.

Ari's double bed is a beautiful old deco piece I picked up for a 

song, many years ago. My first bed when I moved out of home.

His sheets are from Ikea. The print is a graphic version of Ikat.

'Orange Pussycats' is an old work of mine from art school days.

These are a few of my...

favourite things.

Things that make me happy.

Things that I love.

Things that I'd love to own.

Things that I do own.

Things that I enjoy.

Things that I enjoy doing.

Things that I enjoy making.

Things that resonate with my sense of aesthetics.

At the moment I am loving... these textile designs by Hilde Reindl,

these beautiful vintage-inspired handmade clothes from Fleur + Dot

and the many beautiful children's rooms pinned here, here and here.

This week has just up and flown away. And what a busy one it was!

You can read a little bit about my week here...  if you so fancy. xoxo

These are a few of my...

favourite things.

At the moment I am loving these muted colours, the repetition of pattern

(as in crochet and patchwork), anthropomorphic images &  natural linens.

Oh dear! Another Friday came and went without a 'favourite things' list. 

 Perhaps this needs to be a more random post feature on my blog.... xox

Messy Fish Dot Com

I'm getting all inspired to revamp Ari's room and

these would look simply marvellous on his walls.

L'Affiche Moderne

They're from L'Affiche Moderne

Visit Kickan & Conkers and enter the giveaway

and you might just win one.  We're sure hoping to!

Competion closes Wednesday 14 Dec 6pm (CET)

Ari has a print of La Lune by Joan Miro hanging in his bedroom ↓ 

The concept of Automatic Drawing 

fascinated me when I was at Art School

and Miro's work seems so childlike.

We often lie on Ari's bed and talk about this picture

How wonderful would these prints look together?

If we don't win the giveaway, I may have to think

about purchasing one for his bedroom wall.

Ari's room has built in robes from floor to ceiling and 

I've been thinking about painting them in these colours ↑ 

The doors have thin strips of panelling dividing them, 

so I was thinking about leaving it white and painting each 

door a different colour to create a sort of Mondrian effect,

but with our own wonderful gelati coloured palette.

His room's all white but filled with colourful bits and bobs

...I think it would make the space fun and quirky!

love THAT rabbit

I have been in love with this little rabbit

ever since I spied him in these cute pics...

⬇

WELL the other day, I was travelling through 

the lovely blogosphere, and there he was... 

Mister Eric Easter himself,

and for 56 euros he could be all mine,

he was even on sale!  

Oh, so very tempting...

He is currently residing at

Crème de la crème à la Edgar

Yet another wonder from COPENHAGEN

which I discovered via...

Brichopas about Toys 

(a wonderful czechoslovakian site)


which I discovered via...

Misako Mimoko 

(another delightful site... from Barcelona)

I definitely have a thing for Danish design 

and I'd LOVE to travel to Eastern Europe

and I am yearning to return to Barcelona, 

but getting back the bunny

I think that I may have developed a bit of a 

thing for cute (and considerably rascally).... 

rabbits

I'm even planning on sewing up a whole  

rabbity troupe of these little funny bunnies

for my Etsy store once it's up and running.

I'll post some pictures here once they're 

all sewn up & looking dandy!

the dear little house

aren't these pictures simply delightful?

they are from the incredible 

styling talent of danish company

Indenfor & Udenfor 

(click here)

and were found via this oh so lovely blog

...how I wish that I could visit their shop in Copenhagen. Sigh!
