Little collections
Before we left I organised a few house warming gifts to self to ensure we had some personal touches to make the house feel like home when we arrived. Having white walls and high ceilings means I’m more in love with our new home than I think I’ve ever been with a house I’ve been…

Muji food
Had to go back to take photos. This is exactly how I like food packaging if it must be packaged; clinical and uniform. Fresh produce is another matter altogether of course, so I also love brown paper bags, butter paper and string. There’ll be Borough market and the shop in Belsize Park opposite the tube…

Yesterday’s photos
I don’t appear to have taken photos today although I really should have taken some in Muji – the food, oh the Muji food! And we had a perfect lunch at Paragon – which I must say has been the most pleasant place on Orchard Road so far. Kinokuniya was overwhelming– it being the biggest…

Enfant Terrible
My new favourite shop; Enfant Terrible. A shop with many carefully chosen and very beautiful items for babies and children – to wear – to play – to read. Inside the little parcel that arrived for Astrid today were some very sweet leggings by mor mor rita. I find it terribly exciting the label says…

Our lovely morning
This morning we walked down to the Pyrenees for breakfast. A lovely stroll down the hill, through tree-lined streets, past elegant villas with pretty gardens and tall trees. Mt Albert’s one of the early Auckland suburbs, complete with both Bowling and Croquet clubs. And quite a few two-storey villas. And lots and lots of trees…

Window shopping…
It’s funny what the clicking of one link can lead to. A link via Blair’s flickr led me to Swallowfield, and one thing led to another and we’ll have this lovely print waiting for us when we arrive in London. And so another thing led to another thing and this is how my quest to…

Ashley G
Every good blogger must have an Ashley G, so this was my second port of call in my shop quest. I just adore the family sweet family print, and the idea of the story time print is also very beautiful. family sweet family and story time by Ashley GÂ

Lisa S. + Lisa C.
I’d seen Lisa’s first letterpress print ages ago, and in my quest last week I found my way back to her shop, admiring her beautiful hand-stitched prints. And at Lisa Congdon’s shop I found some beautiful cards on sale. They’d be very nice framed as a set. I love all of them. top: the tenderhearted…

Blissen
I’ve loved Jill Bliss‘ style of drawing for a very long time now. Hers was one of the first four links on my blog way back at the very beginning. So in my quest for all the good handmade, blogland shops I liked, of course hers was to be included. If I had to pick…

Manos
With Manos‘ newly launched online shop, Karin Erikkson and Camilla Engman’s exhibition pieces sold out very quickly. But there are lovely butterfly pebbles aplenty, with a choice of big butterfly or small butterfly. Very pretty. caress small butterfly and caress big butterfly by Karin ErikksonÂ

yoo-ii
Yu i Chan is a very nice person who sometimes comments on my photos, so I was very happy to visit her etsy shop by chance when the sale was on. It’s all sold out now, but her amazing prints are currently available from reform school, satsuma press and shiny squirrel. Lucky people might also…
