Dream Hat

There are multiple things I like about this
1) The striped fabric resembles the fabric of beds in fairy tale illustrations
2) The bow tie tye, gives it a, dress it up, dress it down, truly day-night feel
3) Being a lover of bicycle hats for their cosyness, the additional pillow must be heaven.

What a hat!

The hat is actually a “Pillowig” (another thing I  like – word joining) and it is by Artist Joo Youn Paek made in 2006 here is a link which gives a tiny little bit more information and some pictures of this wonderful, wonderful item.

Small rabbits maintain the friendship

My latest wonderful rabbit finds.

a) Lead animal located and purchased at Spitalfeilds market on a Thursday – the best day to go there in my opinion. He is tiny – 3cms from nose to tail. Strictly speaking, I think he is a Hare not a Rabbit.

b) Pierrots and a rabbit, I sense a new obsession. I love the ribbon details on her dress and hat; and as I always say “Les petits lapins entretiennent l’amitie”
