Designer and founder of the brand, Sandra Isaksson’s style is unmistakeably Scandinavian with splashes of colour influenced by her heritage and travels.  The patterns are ideal for children and grown-ups alike!

Some of the prints remind me a little of Orla Kiely…

Shop of the Week: Belle and Boo

May 19th, 2010

As we’re on the subject of illustration and art, I thought it would be appropriate to name this cute children’s accessories boutique our Shop of the Week

Children’s accessories are so delightful and fun… they are probably the best audience to design for as you can really go to town in terms of creativity.

‘My Favourite Spot in Winter’ cushion, £42

 

 

‘I Like Your Bow’ mounted print by Mandy Sutcliffe, £20

Feed your child’s imagination with colourful wall art in their bedroom.

 

 

‘Little Madam’ doll, £8

The cotton ‘doll’, above, has a little pocket sewn into the back… ideal to use as a lavender bag or a place to put teeth ready for the tooth fairy to collect!

Perfection in Miniature

April 23rd, 2010

Few of us are living in our ’dream house’ but we’ve all got that image in our head of how we’d like things to be.  Well here’s the perfect solution- invest in a dollhouse!  With everything imaginable available to buy in miniature, you’ll be putting your fantasy home together in no time, and at a fraction of the price!  Seriously though, you can get so much joy out of owning one and it could even become a family heirloom.

This cute ‘Brighton shared house’ is owned by Aninna Günther….

with thanks to the New York Times for these images

The future’s bright for Rice…

March 29th, 2010

 

 

Founded in 1998 and based in Denmark, Rice sells colourful, quirky home accessories both online and on the high street.  I came across some of their lifestyle images on Flickr and the colours really caught my eye!

These products really lift my spirits and make me smile.  The colours are so cheerful- you’d never have a dull day if you lived in a house that looked like this!  It’s kind of chabby chic-meets barbie-meets-Kath Kidson, don’t you think?
