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 :)

Miss Ivy is TCFW! Love that twinkle in the eyes!
If she likes puppies, pop on over to my blog…. we just got a new Chocolate Lab pup (“Diva”) and I have put video up…. she (and your boys) might enjoy watching.
Take care, Sheye! :-)
How funny, I was just talking to mum about wanting some bone handle knives this week. Nan has them in whale bone, she’s had them forever and I wondering with Mum where I could get some too.

Love the red jacket. I can already picture her in it.
Can’t wait to see some pics of Miss Ivy soon parading her new gear.
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.
i love frankie mag too sheye…..
s:),the angel princess is perfect!!! and i cannot wait to see ivy in her new outfit:) will she be wearing her red and whit polka dot shoes or her rain boots;?

I’d love to know where you got your bone handles knives, I’ve been looking for some.
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.
The princess and the pea is just wonderful. I’m doing my shopping on http://www.designerleg.dk it’s a maileg conceptstore – best pia
