Lif as a secretary

... in dove grey and macaroon pink, by pink milk Sarah.

Easter weekend

...was a boozy dinner with an old friend and Saturday morning making videos with imovie. It was Cambodian caramelised porc in Le Cambodge after a wet wait in the drizzle, and a warm walk home along the Canal St Martin with full bellies.


It was coriander roast chicken à la Alison for Easter dinner and finding out we'd been featured on Laughing Lantern's blog with pink milk's Mary Poppins necklace. To return the favour, we love her Carnival notelets, for the acid pinks and greens.


It was painting the bathroom and putting up a shower door and feeling quite pleased that we didn't break anything. It was also pink milk Sarah leaving for two weeks in Japan, and me looking forward to her photos.

Sale!

The pink milk vintage and pink milk sales have now begun. With 20% - 50% off each item, come and root around in our attic.

As the economies of the world tumble down around our ears...

Let's be glad we're not traders.

After two weeks with a chest infection, a whole week off to do nothing but please myself next week, and the intention to list some new vintage bits for pink milk, as we are both now reasonably settled in our new homes...

Little Anorak Girl gets her own shop

Little Anorak Girl has her own little shop now on etsy, where all Little Anorak Girl stationery can sit happily together and wait to be bought.

Little Red Anorak girl

pink milk stationary has arrived, featuring the Little Red Anorak Girl on notelets, writing paper and postcards doing a range of nice things like looking in shop windows, posting letters in red post boxes and taking her little dog Sammy for a walk...

Most of the range sold out last night, but we restocked this morning for your writing pleasure.
Other nice red things in our lives include the Roses are Red vintage necklace recently listed on pink milk vintage
...and the beautiful roses bought for me for Valentine's day by my cher et tendre.

Delightful little cards!

Am very excited today about our gorgeous little stationary set listed by Sarah over the weekend. Red Riding Hood notelets in a vintage fabric case, so cute, so perfect for your (a little late perhaps, but hey, I still haven't sent all of mine out so you're not alone in your tardiness) thank-you notes after Christmas.

Happy New Year!

With the Christmas pudding eaten and New Year champagne corks popped, the prospect of going back to work is now a mundane reality. A change is as good as a rest though kids, and ten days off and back in Britain felt like a good few weeks, so there's no excuse not to run into the office tomorrow bright eyed and champing at the bit to get going...

Anyway. Don't let this miserable time of year get you down, as the pink milk sale is upon us. We've filled up our sale rail just for you and with some pieces marked down by as much as 50%, make sure you take a look at the selection below which has been put together to tempt you. Happy 2008 - don't forget to check out pink milk vintage while you're there.

Velib-crazy

After a weekend cycling round Paris on Velibs, from rugby matches to birthday parties - hang on: ENGLAND KNOCKED THE AUSSIES OUT OF THE RUGBY WORLD CUP (sorry Helen ;) ) - I was inspired to photograph a couple of products on the loveworn map of Paris that we cart everywhere with us.



Bow bells earrings between Bastille and Pere Lachaise...



Bow selecta brooch rather pleasingly matches the cover colours...

I blame the rugby for the girly bow theme, in a reaction to hours spent watching hotly-fought quarter-finals this weekend.

My sister and her boyfriend came to stay for the weekend and joined us on the bikes. They bought us a lovely present for our bathroom which they had made:


(Excuse the tables of Russian verbs next to the medicine cabinet.) The lizard canvas was made from an image from our holiday in Italy last month and we love it, thank you! xx I especially love his little sucker-feet, it turned out really well. An Etsy shop of original and bespoke design work on canvas is in the works.
