inspirational find...

We have a lovely little secondhand book shop called the Daisy lane books ( I've mentioned it before) and I called in with the girls and bought this beautifully illustrated book called The Nutcracker , stories taken from famous music, illustrated by Fumiko Hori, a Japanese illustrator from the Nihonga period, using traditional Japanese painting techniques.

It's such a beautiful book with a contemporary feel, I especially love the front cover illustration above.

I love fab finds that inspire!
