Christmas shopping for kids

Sooner or later you will have to do your Christmas shopping !!  So the best is to be a little early and grab some ideas to be ready on time !
For our little ones what about this first old style car from Vilac... to be a perfect little Great Gatsby



Another great one is this tea party set designed by the French artist Nathalie Lete for Vilac presented in a cute cardboard suitcase..

When they become older if you can't choose between the thousands of toys... offer a book. Among the new french ones, I'm fond of these two .

le carnet secret de Lili Lampion by Amanda Sthers...a great diary of a seven years old girl who is moving to NYC and beautiful illustrations.
You can also offer with the book, tickets for the musical show which is played in Paris (music by the French singer Sinclair).


Le petit Gus... the new Petit Nicolas according to my favorite parisian bookstore Chantelivre !

Some more to come :)

Trade show Maison et objet

The French Trade Show for the Home Decoration, Giftware and Tableware industries Maison et objets in Paris was in september. Trends were still on natural materials allied with the charms of nomadism and ethnic, the requirements of fair trade and sustainable development.

My eyes were attracted to the suspensions floating around in the air in perforated metal, such as the arabic inspired lights from Zenza, but also the japanese inspired in paper, fabric, rope ...



For the furniture my favorite were wooden pieces with clean lines and decorative nature and natural as Bleu nature and Ethnicraft were elegantly staged and beautifully lit, as the sign Honoré from the south of France Marseille.

Listed tissue heart for the Indian Jaipur prints of Nayika.
In the kids corner, Petit Pan was a hit by its scenery in a trapper's cabin to present their new fabrics "Wild West".

Also printed colorful pop from the Dutch brand Lief ...
To finish with my last crush for the designer Cécile Princ and her fabulous brand Nûr Gallery of home made clouds, stars... magic atmosphere for your interior.





Sweetness and poesy made in France !
