New gorgeousness at Peagreen

Our very own Kat first put me onto Hampshire-based design consultancy Peagreen and I’ve been a massive fan ever since. Their collection of limited-edition prints are not only outstandingly original, but extremely well-priced, at £45 each. The latest additions to the online shop blew me away, so I had to share a few with you. [...]

French Vintage Spelling Prints

Art + vintage + spelling = my nirvana. Throw in a little je ne sais quoi and it’s ‘Hold me down, before I spend all my measly statutory maternity pay.’ So, needless to say, I went gaga over these little beauties over at the ever-fabulous Present & Correct. Perfectly presented in school ‘black’board green, each [...]

My First Alphabet Poster by Marcus Walters

It has to be acknowledged that there are some supremely talented illustation artists working in the UK today. I just adore the work of Marcus Walters who has a small selection of gorgeous works in his shop. You may have already seen his work on the Pizza Express kids’ menu, in Anorak or at Howies. Regular [...]

Peagreen Shop

I am a borderline stalker of uber cool design consultancy Peagreen. Who can blame me when their clients include some of our favourite shops: Paperchase, Habitat, Urban Outfitters, Topshop and even Ikea. I recently attended their first ever gallery show and was absolutely wowed by the limited edition prints and one off art pieces created [...]

Ida Pearle

I am in love with the work of Ida Pearle. She’s a New York based artist who works with cut-paper to create sublime collages. Her work is filled with playful images cut from fabulous prints (oh, if only we could buy the clothes in the pictures!). Each carefully constructed piece is bursting with joie de vivre [...]

ABC Poster by Enna

Are we alone in our ABC obsession? I’m pretty sure that the alphabet has to be an almost Universal favourite in the nursery. I am absolutely in love with this one from German artist Enna. Being German means that some of the pictures aren’t quite where you’d expect them to be which I think makes [...]

Helen Dardik Limited Edition Prints on Etsy

Only last week I was telling you how much I love these wall stickers by Helen Dardik and another treat from her turns up. She has added five limited edition giclee prints to her Etsy store for just $25 (+ $7 P&P) each. I am in love with the ‘Daddy Love’ print pictured above. From the palette [...]

New To This World – Personalised Birth Gift Fine Art Prints

I love it when we get reader tip offs – always a treat. Sophie sent us an email a couple of weeks ago pointing us in the direction of Freya Art on Etsy. I am loving this shop packed full of prints which are all bang on trend with their messages of hope and love. [...]

Jane Foster Designs

Last week we featured the nursery of Jane Foster’s daughter, Polly, which is an explosion of colour and design. If you are feeling inspired by her retro-a-go-go style but don’t know where to lay your hands on the vintage goodies then step inside Jane’s shop. Her cushions alone could bankrupt me as every single one [...]

My latest find comes via the wonderful Whole Lotta Lovely blog written by stylist Marie Nichols, who currently works for Ideal Home. The latest issue has decoration ideas incorporating buttons including the [...]

Eric Carle Decorative Prints

I am sure I’m not alone in my love of Eric Carle. With The Very Hungry Caterpillar turning 40 this year there is a veritable boom of products sporting the distinctive collages from the book. One that has me all excited is the Eric Carle Decorative Prints set. It is collection of 12 prints from [...]

Limited Edition Oliver Jeffers Prints

Kat writes… There is something truly special about Oliver Jeffers’ children’s books. The stories are simple and touching but what brings them to life is his delightful illustrations. I am pleased to tell you that you can get your hands on four of these illustrations in the form of limited edition prints. There are two [...]

Art at Mango Baby

Natalie writes… Mango Baby is a little vintage haven full of unusual blankets, changing mats, burp cloths, bags, and more and I have just discovered their art section, which aside from some personalised pieces, has got some great nostalgic prints with echoes of childhood innocence. There’s the Three Bears Revisited print which is a new [...]
