Polkadots and Fairytales

Thought it would be fun to feature one of my favourite shops for inspiration.

It is called De Sprookjeskamer and is in Amsterdam. It was discovered by my good friend Amy whilst on a trip there. It is the stuff of dreams and is crammed full of the most delightful things! See: http://www.desprookjeskamer.nl/


Started in the year 2000 by two sisters, Caroline de Groot and Ingrid Korteknie, they are passionate about POLKADOTS and FAIRYTALES. The range covers everything from homewares and fabrics to children’s products and clothes. Myself, I love the dotty shoes, the fairytale lamps, the cuckoo clocks and everything Red Riding hood!

You can order on-line too, to anywhere. Here’s some stuff they’re sending to Datcha in Moscow.

Thanks for catching up with me this week a welcome to all those new followers who’ve just discovered my little blog.

  8. Are we living in a kind of parallel universe?
    Is our similarities just wishful thinking on my part?
    I really love your work.
