A QUICKIE

hi team!

just a short one today. i've had a bit going on the last couple of days so i've been struggling for time to check in - it amazes me how desperate i am to find out what everyone's been up to though!

some things i'm loving:

• the glorious sunshine
• this mark ronson track - can't get enough! set me free why don't you babe.........la la la
• all of the lovely comments on my last post - my head is now far too big! thanks guys, i really appreciate you taking the time to say nice things......or anything at all for that matter. xx
• these funky shopping bags - oh unicorn, please decide to start selling them online, i don't live anywhere near manchester + i really, really want one some.
• this pretty bike basket. which might just convince me to make more use of mine. find it at design house stockholm
  
  
  

• this post from ali, which really made me smile - not sure if i'm ready to join in with the confessions just yet......maybe in a little while, but don't hold your breaths!

EGG PRESS

i've just discovered the egg press website + i think i'm in love!

my favourites -

• let's stitch frank - a dog called frank that you stitch yourself, what could be better than that!?! first of all, i love that he's called frank (it's totally in keeping with my belief that boy dogs should be called real names - i.e. steve, barry, ian, derek....you get the idea!) + secondly, he's really, really cute. check out the hoots + scoots kits too, they're fab.
• this beautiful letterpress 'love tree' card, which comes with a fantastic woodgrain patterned envelope. i think i'll have to buy one to frame-up - it's so pretty + i can imagine it hanging in my hallway making me smile every time i pass!
• the sweet collection of cards - the cupcake + sunshine designs in particular tickle my fancy!
  

the best thing about egg press is......they have 2 stockists in london! Yippee! addresses have been noted + a visit is definitely on the cards sometime soon.

another great print-themed find for me today was sugarloop. bernadette is an illustrator from aukland, nz + you can buy her beautiful prints here + here. i'm really taken with the style of her work + this design in particular - i absolutely love it, but unfortunately the last one was sold a couple of days ago. not to worry, there are plenty more lovelies to choose from!

happy browsing!

CUTE + FUNKY

just discovered sandra isaksson (via tania's blog), who is a uk-based graphic designer/illustrator.

her work is right up my street and the best thing is......she has an online shop!

these are a few of my favourite things:

:this counting poster:

the beautiful illustrations in this book

:these daisy prints:

this funky custom wallpaper

these retro style cups

the observant among you will notice that most of these things are for kids......i don't have any kids......says a lot about my maturity doesn't it. I don't care, i unashamedly want them all!
