Labour and Wait

My favouritest (is that a word?!)shop ever...is Labour and Wait. 
We are just renovating our flat, and I am already picking out all the lovely finishing touches from their website!  You can of course visit their shop in the heart of the east end, London, 85 Redchurch Street.

Want list:

Welcome Matt...first impressions are so important!

Beautifully designed objects in satisfying materials...mmm


...now wash your hands...

Cleaning would be so much more exciting with this handy house keeping bucket, and Dustpan and brush





I love their products so much I drew them!....

Frank

One main reason for us spending the weekend in Whitstable (see previous post!), is this little design shop called Frank.  It is somewhere I've been wanting to visit for such a long time, and now I have I feel complete!  Frank sells the best of British graphic arts, design and craft. Take a look at their gorgeous website www.frankworks.eu.  I treated myself to some lovely knitted socks and a notebook...very happy xx

 

Frank sells lots of lovely prints by British Artists, all affordable definitely worth a look.

Weekend to Whitstable

We had a lovely relaxing weekend in Whitstable.  We managed to avoid the rain and basked in Autumn sushine, eating fish and chips, and taking long walks.  Here's a bit of Whitstable colour inspiration for you xx

Butterflies

Future Shelter

I just wanted to take a bit of time to write about my Sister, Jane.

She lives in Perth, Australia, and she has her own workshop/design studio and a shop called Future Shelter.  With her Husband, Adam, she has created an inspirational brand.  They manufacture their products in their own workshop, and only use the best materials.  Obsessive technical knowledge and exceptional design, come together to create something quite original.

Get a cup of tea, and have a look at their online shop.  They do ship internationally so don't worry!  My favorites are the Million Dollar View lampshade....


...wall decals....



...The Kings Park Coaster set..

...Tea Party Hair slides.....I have these and they look really cute xx


...and the Paris Street view Card holder.....Really handy for your oyster card!

Pencil Cases

I love these giant pencil cases by Lale Rose, in Paperchase.  They feel so nostalgic and the colours are gorgeous.  They don't seem to have the range on their website at the moment, but if you are in London, head to Tottenham Court Rd Paperchase, and treat yourself!
