We had such a wonderful reaction to our photos of Magnolia Square I thought you might like to see a couple more…

The Little Jack Horner Lamp…

Our Moomin Cookie Cutters in Katie’s beautiful vintage hat boxes …

The FAMOUS Womble, boy did he ever attract some attention!

Come and see our set up at the next Magnolia Square.

In the meantime we are going to Mathilda’s Market this Sunday at the Hawthorn Town Hall, 9am – 1pm. We have more new titles to take as well as some old favs so come and visit and maybe start some Christmas shopping!

Our Mag Square stand goes vintage

Posted by Katie on Aug 09 2010 | We Heart Books Store, magnolia square

Magnolia Square was so much fun as always – could it have been the BEST EVER?! Nic and her team created such a gorgeous display – the stage was like a scene from Narnia, complete with silver birch trees, and the most breathtaking props. So many amazing retailers – having a stand next to Michel’s Fine Biscuits was way too tempting and opposite our stand was the gorgeous Ohme Ohmi – we LOVED their new vintage toy T-shirts.

We also went a bit vintage with a new look for our stand…

How stunning is this bedspread with Golden Book characters – can you spot the Saggy Baggy Elephant and the Tawny Scrawny Lion? It’s an original and belongs to a lovely friend of mine – how lucky is she?! Underneath is the most gorgeous Little Jack Horner lamp found by Lou – which also got lots of comments from our customers.

The Womble night light was from my childhood…

Lou makes some gorgeous vintage book bunting, which you can see up top, and I framed some of the Charley Harper Memory Game cards for the wall.  The furniture and some vintage hat boxes were thrifted and found in storage, a gorgeous handmade quilt, vintage suitcase, another lamp and toys were borrowed from another very lovely friend – once we got started it all came together…

Another Magnolia Square has been and gone – the good news is there’s just 11 weeks until the next one – we’re starting our countdown already!

Baking Moomins

Posted by Katie on Jul 07 2010 | Age 4+, Picture books, We Heart Books Store, book related cool stuff

I finally had a chance to do some baking with some of our fabulous Moomin Cookie Cutters. As usual, the batch got eaten before I had a chance to ice them, and while these two probably aren’t the finest specimens, but I was lucky to rescue them for the photo.

The characters of course come from this book. Magical, whimsical, philosophical – and universally acknowledged as a great read-aloud – Finn Family Moomintroll is perfect for snuggling up with to read together… I really love this production too – check out these beautiful endpapers and the exquisite drawings by Tove Jansson.

The We Heart Books store also has limited copies of this stunning Moomin picture book – the first published by Tove Jansson.

The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My has recently been re-released by uber-cool Canadian publisher Drawn & Quarterly. Luxuriously thick pages have beautiful die-cut pictures, tantalisingly revealing a hint of what’s on the next page. This is one of those books that’s so gorgeous that you want to use as a display piece on a shelf or mantlepiece!

||All these treasures are available at the We Heart Books store.||
