Some snapshots of our past few days from my Instagram

Craft day at the studio, Lucien playing outside our house, cool barber shop at Hutspot Amsterdam, cutting city names for our short animation.
I received yesterday a copy of the book The Little Bookroom Guide to New York City with Children with our Morning in Manhattan design illustrating the cover. Isn't it sweet?! This book follows the successful Little Bookroom Guide to Paris and is packed with cool addresses of restaurants, shops and activities to do with children -and adults- in the big apple.
The author Angela Hederman (also editor at the Little Bookroom) knows about entertaining children in NYC, she has 5 children and has been living in Greenwich for the past 30 years!

Spring has arrived and it's the start of the flower season here in the Netherlands. As new inhabitant of Amsterdam we went along (with other tourists!) to the famous flower garden Keukenhof to admire what the Dutch are renown for, tulips.
I don't have green fingers (our garden grow wild and I'm not really good at keeping our indoor plants alive for long) but I do love flowers. I was actually very impressed by the variety of shapes and colours of tulip flowers. We didn't see much of the tulip fields as most of the flowers haven't bloomed yet. I guess we need to go for a sunny Sunday bike ride mid April to see it.
We are very pleased to introduce our first A5 notebooks featuring Famille Summerbelle familiar World map and City map collection.
The notebooks are sold as a pack of 2 with plain white recycled paper.
We had fun shooting this short paper cut video introducing our notebooks:

Paris notebooks, cerulean blue and brink pink
London notebooks, silver and London bus red
San Francisco notebooks, blue and grey
NYC notebook, poppy red
The sun is shinning here in Amsterdam. I have the window open in my studio and I can hear the birds singing. Here are some random touches of yellow from our home, a colour that put a smile on my face :-)
Lucien made this yellow crown at school using a loo roll!
