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

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…

Krakatoa + Camilla Engman prints

Birthday planning
Because we’re so disorganised it was straight after Christmas, Astrid didn’t have much of a first birthday, so I’m now in planning mode for her first and a half birthday at the end of June. I can’t remember how I stumbled upon nana company but I am quite in love with her cute little sugar…

Mt Albert House
This is for the record, part of the family diary. So I shan’t apologise for the excessive photos. Much as I would like to. We bought our house in Mt Albert in December 2006, three weeks before Astrid was born. We’re moving back to London on May 31st 2008 but we’ll keep this place for…

Working
We finally got a nanny for Astrid. Just before we leave. Don’t tell, but we’ve got Mary Poppins. She talks to Astrid all day long, sings songs, whistles, plays games, makes jokes, feeds, bathes, entertains, laughs, claps. She is Astrid’s friend. It’s brilliant hearing the goings on during the day while I’m working here in…
