From the PearsonMaron people, Knobs sells knobs. Made from cast aluminium in such things as dinosaurs, dogs, stars, cats, horses all in cool colours and very very nice.

A most brilliant way to transform a piece of furniture or a room.

Yay for knobs!

PearsonMaron

This has to be the coolest thing I’ve seen in ages.

It’s the mobile ideas factory from PearsonMaron who I’m now truly and utterly in love with. They also make cloud factories and heart factories.

What clever people !

MoMA Store

I got one of these for Christmas – a snap it up organiser, which comes in my favourite of all things, rainbow colours. Such a great design store MoMA Store – I’d quite like to just move in.

I love clocks. Especially yellow ones. Even more especially pretty yellow teapot ones like this!

skandium

www.skandium.com

A paradise for scandophiles in the UK, Skandium is a haven of good modern design. They are the exclusive agent in the UK for Asplund, iittala, Le Klint, Marimekko, Muuto, Pia Wallén and Woodnotes. Skandium is also the UK distributor for the lighting brand Louis Poulsen.

They’re in Marylebone High Street and Brompton, with a concession in Selfridges. We just love to visit every few weeks and buy something small to add to the collection.

Hooray for Skandium indeed.

spunky sprout

Wow, were we happy when Yvonne from yvestown sent us this link. An absolute treasure trove of good design for children.

We can definitely vouch for the fact the Svan Bouncer truly IS the next best thing to being in your arms – our daughter absolutely lived in hers. And aren’t these BPA-free bottles just the cutest things EVER. Into the shopping basket they go.

Our favourite thing at Spunky Sprout had to be the Nest Bassinet. Isn’t it just fabulous? Such a brilliant and lovely shop.

Go on, take a peek!

Very pretty and very Cath, all the favourites are of course still there, fabric by the metre; kids clothes and accessories; stationery; outdoor for wellies, umbrellas and pet beds; bags, wallets and keyrings in all our favourite vintage prints; and our favourite – home furnishings and wallpaper.

We just wish they’d hurry up and put some stuff in the clearance section!

Shinzi Katoh stationery and Je de Paume books

Yvonne has such great taste in stuff, especially lovely things from Japan. So much so that she’s very kindly stocking some of her favourite Japanese books and stationery in Europe for us, and even selling in pounds. So we can avoid all kind of nasty inbound postal taxes by buying direct from her. Yay!

Also excellent for everyone everywhere, because you don’t have to buy six books at a time to make the postage worth it, and you can order easily, in English. Yay again! I love the memo pads and the 2009 calendars, as well as the new London Gardens book which I am going to have to buy myself for Christmas.
