Marie Claire Idees is a wonderful source of inspiring design, colour, styling, and decorating ideas with a distinctly French touch. I often re-visit old issues as they are also quite timeless, and out of all of the magazines I collect, (a bad habit of mine) I have never thrown a copy out. In the last couple of months the magazine has been made available for subscription for overseas customers, and I have just received my first airmail delivery - much easier than checking in at the local newsagency, as they can be pretty hard to find.
Marie Claire Idees also has a great blog, packed with lovely images as you would expect!
These images are from Issue 68 - March 2008.

Images from the Exhibition 'Fashion in the age of Queen Victoria', now showing at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Lots of pieces from the Darnell Collection of textiles, collected by Doris Darnell, an American Quaker. A great insight into Victorian fashions, as the exhibit allows you to walk around and examine each display - no glass cases!

'Wild Things' is our new print design for boys who love the great outdoors. The design includes animals from all around the world and has been created using a variety of printmaking techniques combined with a loosely painted water-colour background.
