What:nots...

Hello there. I hope the sun is shining (literally or figuratively) in your neck of the woods. We're taking my family out to the coast for the weekend - I can't wait to escape the city and spend time near the sea. And since I've yet to start packing, here's a very brief what:nots - enjoy!

Sweet image by Toast found via Blue Pool Road.

Lovely little toe clips from Linden Lovebirds. Aren't those shoes a gorgeous shade of green...

Tsuyoshi Hirano's simple, modern watercolours. Art Onion Press has published a wonderful little book of his work.

A pretty little bird made by Fern Animals found via the lovely Bliss.

Hana Blomst's elegantly simple maple plates.

Loving Moonstruck's packing design on their Single Origin range.

Joyce Tenneson's wonderful sepia images. Aren't gardenia's the loveliest flowers?

And a clever idea from Up Up Creative. For those times when life just feels hard, and trying to get through the days is a struggle, Julie creates personalised 'to do' lists that help you take things one at a time.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Late, late, later...

...so much later than I had planned or imagined. A few rather horrendous days full of busy, busy crazy-ness. Am back on top of things for now and thrilled to find time for Elsa M at last. Weekly what:nots coming up tomorrow - promise, but in the meantime let's look at stationery and the like....

I'm quite taken by these sweet pocket books from Lovely Design - each page has different paper.

Blue Pool Road make the most gorgeous range of lovely things, and have an equally wonderful blog.

I'm always impressed by the pretty ways things can be packaged.

I know - it's not strictly stationery but a very pretty illustration all the same.

While we're on illustrations - I just love Oliver Jeffers illustrations and books.

And to finish with a little letterpress book entitled How Birds Sing.
