Even though it is -3 outside looking at these gorgeous daffodils we spotted on the inspiring Decorator’s Notebook blog make us feel that spring really is just around the corner! Nice print too ;o)

Wooly Warmers
Blogging might be a bit sporadic over the coming weeks, Christmas is an industrious time of printing and packing at Bold & Noble. In the meantime, who could tire of looking at Donna Wilson’s fine woolens. Her collection has expanded, still time to make some last minute additions to the Santa list…
Mark Hearld
Managed to snatch a few minutes between baby feeds to watch this short film about the talented printmaker and collage artist Mark Hearld. Wonderful to see his inspiring designs and collectables.
Happy Paper
We spotted these colourful mobiles by Fraizer & Wing on the Living Etc blog and have to agree they most certainly brightened up our spirits here at Bold & Noble HQ!
Love at first light
These are gorgeous in every way, colour, form, finish. Mmm… lights by Swedish design duo DMOCH, David Ericsson & Marcus Berg.
Knebworth salvage
Had a great time at the Knebworth House Salvo Fair on Saturday. If we didn’t have a couple of hungry three year olds in toe, we’d have come away visually richer and no doubt much financially poorer. So many beautifully crafted pieces, I could have stayed all day. That’ll teach us for telling the bubs that we were going to a fair, they never really got over the lack of merry-go-rounds and dodgem cars.
Wrap up!
The big freeze is coming and who wouldn’t love a pair of these? Available from people tree so they’re beautiful and ethical too!
Let there be light
Back in July we rented a cottage in St Mawes, Cornwall. It was a fattening week of cream teas, Cornish pasties and boat rides (sadly no sea swimming, the weather seems to have it in for us all this summer). On a rainy day we visited the maritime museum and discovered this Fresnal lens which was used to concentrate the light source in lighthouse lamps. Science aside, I was struck by how beautiful this functional object was. I love the symmetry, when you walk around it you see different layers of the glass and their reflections, quite extraordinary for something that was developed in the early 1800s.
