Patterns from the sea

Fabulous sea creatures from 1930's and 40's printed dress fabrics decorate these notebooks from the V&A Museum shop.

Tidy your room!

Inspiring images of kid's bedrooms from the Houzz blog (a wonderful smorgasbord of decorating ideas).

Blue and green should never be seen?

If these photos are anything to go by, I disagree! I love the shades of petrol blue, turquoise and emerald green in this children's fashion spread, beautifully photographed by Beatrice Heydiri.

Jungle parrots

I love these painterly green plates and trays designed by Vera Neumann in the 1960's and freshly re-released into the wild by Anthropologie.

Hand-printed greetings

They're creepy and they're kooky..... but these are the friendliest critters I have ever seen. These gorgeous cards are hand-printed by UK designer Lisa Jones, and are available in Australia from the Lark website. I love that caterpillar!

Thinking pink

A few sprinkles of pink and a touch of vintage from the pages of Country Living magazine.

Hiccups in store

Here is our 'Fairy Village' bed linen design displayed on a gorgeous sleigh bed from Kidzone.

Cute and colourful rooms

Red, green or pink? I love them all... from the pages of Shop 4 Kids magazine.

Cosmic Capers

And as seen on HomeMADE - here is another image of Cosmic Capers - lots of fun for future astronauts!

On the tele last night...

The Channel 9 home make-over programme HomeMADE featured the Hiccups bedlinen design 'Cosmic Capers' in a little boy's space themed room.

Happy campers

Ahh, the great outdoors! This happy collection of summery images from Junior Magazine features some great vintage inspired kid's clothing. Photographed by David Handley.

Counting in the garden

Counting in the Garden is a lovely picture book for young readers by US textile designer Kim Parker (creator of those beautiful floral rug designs for The Rug Company which I would love to own...... one day.) Lush watercolour paintings of flowers in a vibrant palette hide a collection of animals and insects - a colourful way to learn to count to ten!

Up to the country

A nice weekend spent in the country....
