One of my all time favourite children's illustrators had to be the late, great, Dick Bruna. I have a giant poster of Miffy above my own bed in fact. I have also just found the most gorgeous 1970s wall frieze featuring many of his fantastic images. Still in it's packet and in amazing condition, it would be great for a kids room or playroom perhaps, or just to keep as a fan like myself.    I've had various great Dick Bruna pieces in stock over the years, here are just a few of them. Many don't leave my home though i'm...

This lovely set of Pyrex nesting bowls (called Cinderella bowls) in the Friendship pattern are now hard to find, especially int his country, which makes this even more of a heartbreaking sight.        Sadly they have been put through a dishwasher i would say (certainly not by me)! the orange has fared much worse than the vibrant red.

I was expecting it to be a thin perspex plastic, but it is actually made from polystyrene (obviously not the brittle stuff used for packaging, but rather a dense, heavy version). Very good quality, with a very slight texture to the surface. The pieces photographed can be moved around and made into a number of individual and very handy pieces. With drawers, shelves,...
