Oh to be a Hoptimist!

On my recent trip back home I found the country invaded by these guys! Also a common sight in  the sixties, they have somewhat made a revival! The cute and very optimistic guys and girls are called Hoptimist, they were designed by the Danish furniture designer Hans Gustav Ehrenreich. What is the use of them I hear you say?  Hoptimist are at their happiest on your desk or table, gently bobbing around with every movement in the vicinity.  I have brought a few back to the UK as they do make me....

A small world in pictures ...

I l o v e  checking out other people's houses, so when Living Etc announced their house tour I jumped at the chance, and together with some of my blogger friends,  went on a house adventure of North London.  One of the houses we visited is the home of Irenie Cossey who is the designer behind IS Designers and this gorgeous collection of miniature scenes from everyday  life ...

The Re Turned Birds

♡

I have just come across these CUTE "Re Turned birds" on the wonderful blog Puredeco & just couldn't wait to share them with you!  The birds are the work of the Norwegian designer Lars Beller Fjetland  who creates the birds from leftover wood.     

Adoring the name too!
