I stumbled across these door decorations from Finland on Etsy.
If you're prone to being swayed by interiors trends (guilty) you might be thinking: wall-stickers, aren't they a bit 2011? Pah. Just try to think of trends while looking at these nice, friendly faces.
The vinyl stickers are made and sold by a little Helsinki-based company called Made of Sundays and cost around £28 each. What

Object of the day: sale special
I'm still smiling about the cushions I bagged in the Habitat sale for £4.50 each last week.
To capitalise on the high, here are some more sale goodies worth checking out.
These handsome pheasants by Exmoor- based Brit designer, Sam Pickard, feature on Swedish Åry trays in two different sizes.
Medium tray: £18.15, reduced from £ 25.95 and small tray £11.85, down from £16.95, Theo-Theo.com

Object of the day: stuffed drawings
This crazy looking little figure would look good on a shelf, especially in a kids' bedroom (but don't let that limit you). It's like a Donna Wilson creature cushion on acid.
And if children's brains are as free as a hallucinogen fuelled mind, then it sort of is. Because this stuffed character is modelled on an original child's drawing. Brilliant, no?
Thorody, the fabric company that makes them

Objects of the day: alternative alphabets
It's been an alphabetty kind of a week. At Home 2014, I loved illustrator James Brown's colourful new letter linocut prints.
I also came across Anil Mistry's excellent alternative A-Z print via Design Week (where you can see lots of close-ups).
His Icons Alphabet goes something like: D is for David (Hockney), X is for XTC, Q is for Quincy (Jones), K is for Kenneth (Williams)...

Spotlight on... Ingela Arrhenius for kids
Ingela Arrhenius is a Swedish illustrator, who specialises in colourful, graphic and (largely) child-focused designs with a midcentury slant.
Looking at her work makes me happy – it's got the sort of joyful simplicity of Charley Harper, and the characters she draws are friendly without being sickly.
Lionface poster, £18 from Hus and Hem (details below)
I featured some of her for-grown-ups

River Wandle Alphabet
I came across this colourful and unusual alphabet print because it was on display in a restaurant near my house (Brick Box in Brixton Market).
It is by children's illustrator, Jane Porter, and it's made up from something quite surprising – photographed and then turned into this artwork. Can you tell what the letters are made from?
