I went shopping and I bought.
What I saw: This positively gorgeous bunny from Danish company, Maileg. I’m not a stuffed animal kinda girl, not even as a child did I find them appealing but this is something totally irresistable – it was so big, amazing quality and those crochet shoes! I love bunnies and I love vintage so I was instantly smitten. Cheap, she was not so there she stayed. Sigh.
I then found on their website a Princess and The Pea..it’s one of my favourite kids stories so it’s another lust-have item. (I just can’t imagine that bed arriving in one piece from Denmark).
Then of course I did the obligitary Ebay scout and found the perfect thing – an angel princess! She even has red spotty shoes and her wings are detachable. She’s winging her way from the UK to me now :)
Also needed to get this and this for Ivish. She won’t normally do denim but I figured the frill might just get a look in. The coat – what’s not to love? Both from Big by Fiona Scanlan.
Welllll, you’d shop for her too if she looked at you like this:

I also acquired some antique bone handle knives, heatwheats shaped like animals for the kids, the lastest copy of Frankie, a pretty nightie and some fine wine. Got to be happy with that :)

Us Danes (umm…I was born here so technically I’m an Aussie!) make the best toys – my Grandmother lives not far from the town where Lego is made. You should see the Lego website and see how Lego is made – very cool:)
A lot of Ikea’s stuff is made by Danish designers and I reckon you’d love some of it Sheye. They use lovely subtle colours and whimsy in their designs.

Ps, Kitty never wears denim much either but I bought her that skirt the other week when I was in the BIG store and it’s still quite girly. You know, I almost bought the cardi too, I think it was also in green but it’s just too cold for our Melbourne winter.

I love seeing in frames, I love the beauty in the ordinary, I love my camera, I love that when I see images I hear too. I love the latelight, I love finding moments I didn’t imagine and I love creating moments I did. I love learning more every day, I love sharing what I’ve come to know, and I love making pictures pretty.
I’m so glad you stopped by. xx
OMG Sheye the angel princess is perfect. I love buying things like that. Nonsensical but oh so fun to have. Denise
