I know ‘The Marquis’ is kitsch. I know he can hardly be considered original art. But, I kind of love him, all the same. I found him when I was checking out the Alexander & Pearl website, after seeing ‘The Yetti, a white fur armchair in the latest edition of UK Elle Decoration.

The Alexander & Pearl e-boutique was launched in early 2010.  The business was started with one goal in mind – convenience (At least – convenience for the UK resident. Not so much the wee blogger from down under…).  What could be more convenient than a 24 hour shop whose door is open 365 days a year AND who delivers to your door?

Apparently, at Alexander & Pearl, they pride themselves in offering customers a very friendly and personal experience. If I lived a little closer, I might have tested them on that. Since I don’t live in the UK, I can only look at their website and share some of the products with you…

Alexander & pearl DO deliver internationally – and, if you live in the Southern Hemisphere, shipping will no doubt cost you a pretty penny. But, have a squizz at their site anyway. It made me smile. You can check it out here.

My July edition of Elle Decoration arrived in the post a few days ago. Oh happy day! I’m a wee bit of a Design mag’ groupie, but I do think this one is my favourite. At least, until the next one arrives it is. Fickle, moi? 

Flicking through, trying to source inspiration for LM’s birthday (and failing miserably), I came across this most-covetable beauty – the Stack of Drawers by Bird & Wolfe.

According to the good people at Bird & Wolfe, their Stack of Drawers are a “unique piece of modular furniture crafted in London, utilising restored antique drawers. The stackable carcasses are hand painted and finished with solid brass fittings” And, they are also available to order in individual units. I think I’m in love…

Don’t you think there is a synergy here with the Ptolomeo book stand?

And, if that wasn’t enough, when I checked out the Bird & Wolfe website I fell madly in love with this guy…

Chair Bear by Bird and Wolfe

Size: Approximately 200cm x 200cm

Sometimes, I wish I still lived in the UK (sigh).

If you’d like to learn (a teensy) bit more about Bird & Wolfe, check out their website here.
