The Kokeshi arrived!

Fun to add a japanese touch to a room.
Kokeshi are traditional japanese wooden dolls. They have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face.
Comptoir d'enfance just welcomed them this week.
There are three different boards of stickers.
Illustration by the french drawer Annelore Parot.
Made in France.
Have also a look at our new lutins and fairies for a baby gift and a sweet atmosphere for his/her bedroom.

Mix and match on the wall !

What a great mix and match of pictures by our favorite illustrator, Fifi Mandirac, on the walls of her daughter's bedroom. You will find some postcards in our collection of stationery.
A nice idea to put together memories, photos, illustrations. Another way to tell stories to our kids ...

Spring everywhere!

I love when I find ideas to make both sides of the Atlantic. You obviously recognize the Ikea plastic cups that we all bought one day. Now they can have a second life !
The magazine Femina had the idea.

* 1 wooden plank
* 6 colored plastic cups (there are good Ikea and then those found in any Target)
* Acrylic paint white
* 1 roller or brush
* 1 screwdriver and a drill
* 8 screws

Creation, photographs and illustrations: Nicole Maubert

1. Paint a wooden board with white acrylic paint. Let dry and make a second layer if necessary. Drill the cups at the bottom, center, with the help of a drill.

2. Place the cups on the board and secure them with screws.

3. Make a hole at each end of the board so that they can be attached to the wall. Good job!

And a little thought for my friends in Paris where "sometimes it snows in April".
Waiting the first blooms of spring, fill your flowers-pots with windmills alternating heights and sizes.
So cute!
