time to see what’s on my wish list for this month. this is a very important edition, because my birthday is approaching and so hint dropping is at an all time high around this house right now.  what to get the girl who has almost everything…?

oh my. its just spectacular – and so is the price tag – but it marries two of my favorite things together: 60′s counter culture design & fantasia. fantasia was the first film i ever saw (at the cinema or anywhere) and i’ve recently had the pleasure of introducing it to my own son. according to wikipedia the 1969 rerelease of fantasia was popular with the kids who’d come and watch it lying down in the front row with the aid of marijuana or LSD. to capitalize on this craze they even made this poster to woo those crazy stoners. can you imagine a film poster being designed to bring in, say, meth users? no wonder those hippies were anti establishment! damn the man and his amazing poster. anyway it worked, because that rerelease was the first time that fantasia had made a profit! poster available from artist direct.

next up is some slightly psychedelic footwear. i imagine this is what you’d wear if you were going to do some amazing kaleidoscopic bob fosse routine. none of that all-in black here, thanks mister fosse. it’s mauve for me! and before you ask, yes i do have outfits that these would go with. i have outfits of every color! i created the solution so this would never be a problem. available from modcloth.

an apple a day, they say. no one mentioned if it had to be cast iron or not. if i were to receive this, i promise you, i would prepare every meal in it. i like apples a lot. available from terrain where you’ll also find a cast iron green pepper!

i adore these paumes interiors books, they’re so jam packed with inspiration. i have a bunch of the kid’s room ones and don’t you agree that copenhagen interiors sounds right up my alley? i love them because they are a peek into real homes, full of loved possessions and hopefully happy stories. i can always find a little something to fire my creativity in a paumes book. available from lark (who now ship internationally!) do you remember my visit to lark?

i love vera, i inherited both my mum and my grandmother’s scarves and they both had a number of vera beauties that i now treasure. sadly my favorite has been pretty badly eaten away and i’m not sure i can mend it. i’ve kept my eye out for another of similar design, but haven’t found one yet. i can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of this book and pore over every single detail. grab your own copy of vera: the art and life of an icon.

so that’s my picks for this month, only time will tell what the birthday wish fair grants me. stay tuned!
