Spotted! Mr Jade from Snooshy
Oh I’m in LOVE with my new find – Knuffels A La Carte! SUCH a fab website, its pages bulging with quirky, funny, odd – yet endearingly cute ethical and fairtrade toys.

You know, the one with tissue between the pages, so big you couldn’t actually hold it up but had to sprawl across the floor to look at it? (*note to self: must trawl the secondhand bookshops to find the children one like it) I’ve been looking for a wall version – but the ordinary map-of-the-world types seem so dry and *whispers* dull.
