fresh










we changed some furniture in the shop. it looks bigger now. and nice with more white. it's always very difficult to make photographs, because of the light and also because we don't have a very good camera. so you all have to come here to see how fresh it looks!

pyjama infinity






it's a flipbook, so it's impossible to photograph. but had to show you this. it's made by elina minn, and it shows a bear with a pyjama with little bears on it. it's sold out on the napa site, but there are still a few copies on this site. they also show the beautiful little book in a video.
it's so simple but oh so perfect!

schoolwork










elisabeths post today reminded me of one of the best ebay finds i ever won. it's a bundle of exercises one girl/boy made in school: collars, pleats, smock, buttonholes,... he or she wasn't a very good student, you can see. but love the way it looks.
