A ring, a ring o' roses,

Colour My Monday #22
Bonjour, bonjour !
So? How was your weekend?
Ours involved a trip to the beach, a boat ride to the Albert Dubout museum and an hour in the sun watching a water jousting competition - ouch! bad sunburn today!
I think I'll be staying inside for a while.
Happy Monday!

Shop Watch: Les Moineaux Decoration
Some of you may remember me including Laura di Francesco's work for Les Moineaux in the latest issue of Babiekins Magazine. This French children's decor shop hadn't opened at the time but I'm pleased to announce that it's finally gone live.
Les Moineaux Décoration offers a small selection of wallpaper, stickers, friezes, posters and prints for children, all handrawn by illustrators such as Laura di Francasco, Valerio Vidali and Gianluca Foli.
Valerio Vidali's explorer collection caught my eye in particular and his poster and stickers will no doubt be a great success with little boys.
The fledgling site is in French and English but if you have any questions or problems ordering, feel free to send an email.

A pour Arc-en-Ciel
The simplest things are often the nicest, don't you think?
Tuesday Mourning's multi-coloured ABC print would be uplifting anywhere around the house and would definitely give a modern, no-nonsene feel to a child's room or play space.

Inspiration: Lightbluegrey
I am lucky and honoured to have so many talented, creative followers. I know that I've got a pretty bad track record when it comes to answering all your comments but I always read yours and visit your blogs from time to time. I might introduce a new feature next year, a kind of "follower spotlight", in order to share some of your inspiring work. What do you think? (I will also be taking sponsors as from January, more about that later).
Anyway, today I'd like to show you a few pictures from Dutch mum Hetty's blog. I couldn't believe my eyes when she left a comment and I visited Lightbluegrey. Perhaps you saw her gorgeous handmade cradle featured on Ohdeedoh a few weeks ago?
Hetty enjoys making things by hand in her free time (she works in architecture), especially for her two daughters. She has great taste, imagination and flair when it comes to crafting. It looks to me as if Hetty's made a wonderful home for her children and I'm very envious of daughter's mural!
Have look for yourself, I doubt you'll be disappointed!

Up, Up and Away
Paper really is extraordinary, don't you think?
These beautiful 3D mobiles and wall art by Gosh and Golly* are just perfect for brightening up your little ones' room and taking them to the Land of Nod.
Alternatively, if you're feeling crafty, you could have a go at making these simple but stunning hot air balloon mobiles using Lizzie's tutorial over here**
Sweet dreams!

Bryonie Porter
White walls with pops of colour - Bryonie Porter's beautiful wallpapered furniture for kids would be perfect, don't you think? (hard to resist the opportunity to do a mini London-themed post either!)

Dream On...
A is for Appley Hoare Antiques, one of my "dream" sites, a place I go for inspiration, usually before visiting fleamarkets. I've written about this shop before, it's one of my favourites.
I always, always find something I like, and this time I've fallen for these French 19th Century linen sheets dyed in shades of blue / grey
and these large French metal boxes used for storing theatre costumes (C. 1940s)
Don't they look fantastic grouped together? If I had the money, I would buy them. Having studied French and Drama at university and specialised in theatre during the Occupation, I'm sure that these metal boxes have many any interesting story to tell...
Having said that, I will now be looking out for a few old metal "cantines" to paint black, add a chalkboard and some stencils. A nice idea for storage, don't you think?
