Marble Rose

Oh now really, don't people go about just creating the cutest little things!
This morning I'm a teeny bit besotted by these scrumptious pencil cases from Marble Rose, which seem to me to be the pretty little epitome of a nostalgic childhood...

Though they are going for a song, Fleur at Marble Rose, paints and personalises the boxes to order, using vintage transfers, them ships them worldwide, so nurseries across the land can enjoy a little bit of all our yesterdays...

Oh to be a babba again.

Then I looked close and saw pencils. Made much more sense. They are cute.; 24 February 2010 at 04:51

Lucky for me my friend just had a little girl, something to put away for the future I think!; 24 February 2010 at 11:07
