We have to admit, Dujour girls are drawn to anything bright and frilly, the way kids are drawn to the scent of sugar from a mile away. So it should come as no surprise that we’re loving Pom Love, an Etsy boutique selling handmade tissue decor. What do you reckon? Is our obsession valid?

Pssst. Click images to shop!

Here’s the thing. Us Dujour girls don’t do grown up all to well. Adult, shhmudult. Who needs to pay bills when we can all just eat cupcakes and watch Glee re-runs right, right!? Well, it seems society is telling us this is not the case. So whats a damsel to do? Play grown up! Yes, you heard right…we have actually found a way to be grown and responsible while still playing around. Our little hidden gem of a secret is the lovely Etsy shop Playing Grown Up, also available at our beloved and beautifully curated Paper-N-Stitch. Brooke, shop owner extraordinairre, is an artist based in Alabama who just so happens to teach! So she has her fair share of childlike behavior. She wants everyone to indulge in their inner child and make use of that adventurous spirit, even if it involves organizing your desk.

For fall, Brooke is going all out with quirky and fun Photobooth accessories (chalkboard speech bubbles now in 6 different colors!), new jewelry stands, and her signature cork and chalkboards to help keep you organized all season long (if you last that long!). So what are you waiting for? Go play!

Our fave item of the lot! This pink upcycled baroque framed chalkboard is only $32. Unicorn not included. Sigh.

PS- Brooke’s blog is fantastic with a capital F. For your own sake, please check it out!

Ever just want to run so fast your glass slipper falls off, you trip into Alice’s hole, and totally have a Wild Things moment? Maybe such a thing doesn’t exist for us adults, but one can dream. And well, when all else fails, one can hang a beautiful print too!

The extraordinarily talented Miss Caitlin Shearer, who was featured in our Art Issue, is steadily making huge waves in the worldwide art community. Caitlin’s signature intricately-detailed and playfully feminine style make her sketches and paintings take on legends and stories all of their own. Since she’s always painting, here are a few of her latest works!

We’ve been a little decor crazy this month here at Dujour, so for week 2 of our tgif posts, its all about cushions, fabrics and prints! Do tell us what you think!

Oh boy, oh boy are we newly in love with Etsy shop, Indo Bay Textiles. So sweet. So charming. So quirky and perfect for summertime decor ideas! Her “Home Sweet Home” linen banner is hand printed with loving care.

We hear robots. Do you heart robots? Well you will now. How can anyone deny their love for these adorable robot pillow cases from Mengsel.

Its summer and our nomadic nature is itching to come out. We already covered all of Montreal, Chicago, Wisconsin and Michigan for travel issue. What are your next stops? We hear on twitter some of you are planning road trips to remember! Well, hang a little mobile manor on your wall from Moxie Doll, and never forget those plans!

Satchets are oh so cute, and make the perfect gift any time of year. But what better time than now to remind that special friend you are thinking about them with the sweet delicate smells of summer! Don’t get your ruffles in a bunch, we’ve got just the thing. These lavender filled satchet pillows have our vote for their whimsy, colorful and artistic nature.

And alas, we couldn’t just pick one cushion…two of them were vying for our attention and we could not look away. Whether you are gifting a custom love note or simple need a little animal fun whilst sleeping, these postcard and Rhino pillows will do just the trick.

Mizaru is an artist living in Melbourne, Australia who sells her whimsical prints on Etsy. Don’t ask me why I fall in love with so many of Oz’s finest, it just so happens those Aussies have something in their water. And whatever it is, I want some! If it would lead me to create such fantastical imagery as this, I wouldn’t mind drinking my required eight cups a day. In the meantime, let’s indulge in the beauty created by others.

Mizaru is prepping for her first set of gallery shows and stock in her shop is dwindling and won’t be available again for some time, so I would scoot along if I were you. Snatch some up for your walls before they’re all gone!
