happy corner

Just around the corner from colour makes people happy is sparkle&spin (this is a very cheery corner of Southeast London, also home to local stationery cupboard heroes present&correct) Sparkle&spin is a tiny treasure box of a shop selling beautiful Danish designed children's clothes and selection of colourful and creative toys, I have my eyes on this money box.

A while ago the girls at sparkle&spin featured me on their blog which was lovely. Also thanks to arthur&martha for a mention on their site full of lovely things that don't cost a fortune, and huge thanks to bowiestyle for a feature on the fabulous print&pattern today. Blimey!

happy memories

I think this is what the inside of my five year old head looked like. We played this pairs game so often as children that the images are burned into my memory. When I spotted this original set on the brilliant present&correct website I had to have it! And it's just as I remember it; Petunia, the Happy Lion, the owls and the walnut are all there. Created by local stationery cupboard heroes, present&correct is one of my favourite websites. Their neat and tidy shop has the best ever selection of quirky stationery items, children's books and vintage office essentials and I want it all!
