Shoal: Seaside Living

We love living by the sea! Frankly nothing beats sitting on the pebbles looking out over the Solent with an ice-cream in hand. 

Have you recognized the striped handbag hanging on the wall of the first picture? Yes! Now you can find some of my creations in one of the most beautiful shop in Southsea and I'm talking about Shoal: Seaside Living. 

Everything started more than a month ago when I was strolling on Albert Road and I came upon this shop. Ta-da! Well I really love everything is connecting with the sea and Shoal grants my wishes. Moreover it's kept by two cordial and friendly ladies: Anna (in the last picture) and Michelle who are sharing their passion of local artists and handmade. 

Everything sold in Shoal is made in the UK, usually locally as the creations of Peter Levy Colin Baxter, Emma Toman, Michelle Martin, Port and Lemon, Poppy Treffry, Sea pod, Alan Smith and mine. 

Actually you can find some handbags and the ice cream cones brooch handmade by me. 

Long Life Shoal!

Hey Moomin

I hope that everybody knows the most famous characters of the finnish writer Tove Jansson: the Moomin.
The cute Moomin is a friendly troll but he looks like a white hippopotamus. I simply love this character and the magic place where his family lives, to be more precise I'm talking about the Moominvalley.
The last time I went in London I popped up at the Moomin official shop set at Covent Garden and I found a lot of amazing objects like book, mugs, pottery and handbags.
P.s. My favorite Moomin is Little My (Lilla My) because when she wants something done she does it straight way  ;)

Spero che tutti conoscano i famosissimi personaggi inventati dalla scrittrice finlandese Tove Jansson negli anni Settanta e ora tornati di moda: i Moomin.

I Moomin sono dei teneri troll che però assomigliano a degli ippopotami bianchi e io adoro loro e il delizioso luogo incantato in cui vivono, ovvero la Moomin Valley.

L'ultima volta che sono stata a Londra ho ispezionato da cima a fondo il loro negozio di Covent Garden e mi sono innamorata delle loro tazze, libri, borse e ceramiche varie.

Il mio personaggio preferito della saga è sicuramente la smorfiosetta Little My con le sue battute acidine e la sua caparbietà.
