Finally after 3 days of packing and pricing and boxing and sending all the new Boo Foo Woo has been sent to stores... To buy online go to www.cradlerock.com.au They'll have the biggest selection up and for sale soon.. So exciting(and so tiring)..
Today was a public holiday here in Australia for ANZAC DAY so we had a day off..I was desperate to paint the kids table and chairs but NO hardware store open.. Made me start thinking and for so reason I have decided to post a bit of John and Yoko.. Sorry about my lameness..
I have been admiring the gorgeous dolls of Apolline a Paris.. But.. These little dream catcher style mobiles are just awesome.. So cute above the cot or I am hoping for one to hang in the kitchen..
Last year I ordered these amazing garlands for an installation I was doing in store and was a little shocked when I received these delicate paper garlands. I obviously couldn't understand the French description when I ordered them..Anyway they grew on me.... They are still in store (I think) but am now longing some for my bedroom.. So many beautiful one's to choose(kind of makes me want to get married again!) http://www.sophiecuvelier.com/
Container Plus is a multidisciplinary art and design collective specializing in concept creation and the execution of 3D environments and sets.. Sound rad well just have a look at some of their works..
OK I can't believe I am buying my nearly 8 year old band posters for her room... I know she has liked "Bats For Lashes" for a while now so I brought her a poster as a little pressie.. "Is it rare?" she asks when it arrives.. WHAT!!
Maybe it's because I read how lovely her growing up in Steiner school in Paris surrounded by a beautiful family has made me love all this creative women does..( I re-started my school fund after leaving her blog) I really love the toybags(there I go with storage again) and her Family Tree.. It's so nice to share this info with your kids when they get to an age of understanding it. Her blog is also beautiful.http://famillesummerbelle.typepad.com/
Selling loads of my favourite things including Louis Louise (hard to find at the moment) Madame Chacha is one of my new haunts. I love these little raindrops and other room goodies.. Everything is super cute including their blog worth bookmarking.. http://madamechacha.canalblog.com/
See I have gone a little crazy on the neatness and space thing.. Loving these cool pencil holders for keeping some order on the kids desk(shamedly my kids aren't big on sharing pencils amongst other things..) Find them on http://bleuette.canalblog.com/
During my little siesta my love of interiors (especially the kids room) has become quite the obsession.... One of my new favourite things is space saving...Thankgod for creative women like ModMom. I love these toyboxes they remind me of our 1950's record player we have nicknamed "Grundig".. Check out her blog and etsy shop...
Found this great store through Le Train Fantome type pad - she looks like she is stocking her beautiful dolls in there.. I think it is the baby sister of the store Aime..Looks awesome..
Well been a crazy few months but I may attempt a comeback.. Been getting a bit excited about Le Train Fantome's new creations.. Lots of new and excited things out there..Oddly enough all French (not surprising)....
