It’s odd to say, but I’m smitten with “I’m Smitten” a company owned by Ashley Alexander that sells t-shirts, handbags, stationery and prints decorated with children’s-story-book-like characters with a twist. Giraffe-boy, antler-girl, swan-boy, elephant-girl, all children with the heads of animals that come into play in Alexander’s designs. It should be creepy. It’s really not. It’s just a slightly bizarre fantasy take on design that I for one find enchanting. Now, favourite items (like I always do). Of course, it would be unlike me not to mention a stationery item, so here’s a gratuitous Giraffe-boy Greeting Card that I love. I’m also a fan 
of the range of Antler-Girl t-shirts and the handbag that accompanies it. However, overall I have to say my favourite item is the unframed Elephant-Girl print (pictured, left). Maybe it’s because I love elephants (but then, giraffes are my favourite animal), but I think this is beautiful, if a little weird by most people’s standards. Anyway, check it out.
Also I’m aware that this is becoming, if it wasn’t already to start with, a blog more about the crafty endeavours of others than of those you can do yourself. But I’ll keep trying to find diy projects to post about. Until then, enjoy seeing stuff that you don’t have to spend hours making yourself.
