Ok, I am totally smitten with these Ceramic Cheese Markers by Rae Dunn- definitely one for the wishlist. Available at Rain Collection. What an awesome entertaining idea! They add a stylish finishing touch to any cheese platter.
Oh cute! Talented illustrator Sandra Juto has released these adorable 2010 pocket calendars. Available in her shop in 8 different designs. Great gift idea! They would fit perfectly tucked inside a greeting card.
Alice-in-Wonderland tea parties, "Eat Me" mushrooms... tweedle dee and tweedle dum. Love this series of photographs for Sydney's Strand Arcade Spring & Summer Campaign. Styling by yet another 2C talent- Emily McGregor.
Tempting myself, yet again, with more yummy food and lifestyle photography... this time by 2C's Petrina Tinslay. Love the exotic, rich colour and style in these shots.
Valrhona... yum...
Oh my! I wish I had a super cool Aunt who would paint my bedroom walls with such cooky and colourful characters like this lucky young lass. And yes, I'm almost 30. Wall Illustration by Gina Thorstensen. If you like her style, Gina has a really great teatowel available at Third Drawer Down.
Love the dreamy aesthetic in this fashion photoshoot titled "Ghost" by Waldemar Hansson and Max Modén. Styling by Emma Tiblom. Via Floddertje
Maybe it's just the graphic designer in me but I really love the use of bold graphic knits and prints as a focal point in fashion. These are from Sonia Rykiel's pre-collection for Fall/Winter 2009.
How fun and fresh is the use of typography in this collection of children's table linen titled "Mangeur Masque". Designed by Cécile Gonnard for Grain de Couleur Création. (Personally, I think these make great gifts for 'big' kids too!) Cécile was also the talented designer behind the Woodblock Napkins.
Love the simplistic hand-scribbled illustrations in this stylish kidswear by Bobo Choses available at Monsieur Minouchet.
I'm loving the rainbow of burnt colour tones used in these items...

THREE: Small, coloured beakers by Rachel Foxwell Ceramics. Available here

Inspired by Jordan Ferney's brilliant wedding concept for an Old Fashioned Soda Bar, I set out to create these fun, retro-inspired label designs for soda bottles that hark back to the glorious era of soda fountains! These can be used for your party or wedding to create your own Soda Shop or to add a gorgeous beverage stand to your Ice-Cream Parlour theme. Guests can select from a brightly coloured array of flavoured sodas to make their own delicious Ice-Cream Sodas!
Inspired today by Kikki K's bright and colourful new springtime Vastkust Product Range.

This simple and beautiful imagery makes me crave chocolate something chronic. I've never actually tried Kohler Chocolates before but I'm certainly tempted! I'm curious as to who did the photography and styling for these. Anybody know?
As per usual, Peter Alexander's new sleepwear collection for Spring 09 is fun, cheeky and irresistably girly. I also love the campaign's take on fairytales.
