Spotted! ‘Flower Nail’ Notepad

Oooh, pretty, yes? Natural oak base, and the paper is held in place with that lovely ‘Flower Nail’ – just remove it to add more paper. That bargainous price even includes a refill pad (but not the pencil- you’ll just have to sharpen your own). SO much prettier than the yellow post it pad I have loitering in my kitchen… Now £13.50 from Dee Puddy, my new lovely light, airy and calming place to spend ten...

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.

I thought not. Available (along with a whole pile of other leather-bound tempters) from Hope House...

Spotted! Beautiful Family Tree from Famille Summerbelle

Oh, I love this! I would love it in my kitchen. And I know my children would all love this too, hanging in their bedrooms. And I can’t imagine anything nicer to put in the nursery of a new baby, either, can you? It comes in two parts, the back has guides to show you where to stick your photographs, so that when you lay the front on top everything looks perfect. There are three different gorgeous versions on the Famille...

Spotted! Classic Card Games Set

As a family we LOVE playing card games. They’re just the ultimate toy, aren’t they? Small enough to go anywhere, simple rules everyone can master easily, endlessly flexible in terms of age range, and big belly laughs guaranteed. So I whooped with glee when I spotted this triple pack over on Little Bundles – three great games in one! Animal Rummy (which I’m guessing is a child’s version of Gin Rummy), Old...

Spotted! Pretty Teapot Photo/card/odds holder

I LOVE the busy bee studio website… and I LOVE this card holder. I would love this tidying up the postcards and photographs I have tucked around the pinboard in my kitchen. Gorgeous. It’s definately worth a visit to the Busy Bee Studio eclectic website.
