Miniature Milo the sailor boy, available here Shelley and I only have girls, I have three, Shelley has two. This makes it tricky for us to come up with cute Sweet William products for boys but I think you will agree this one ticks all cuteness factors! Meet little Milo the Sailor boy . Now available in our etsy shop. Milo is a tiny little pocket doll.  He lives in a matchbox ship with his pet cockatoo. He dreams about all his wonderful adventures on the high seas, visiting foreign lands and making new friends. He is hand stitched on to felt, slightly stuffed and sits neatly in his little matchbox home.  MIlo is friends with miniature Camille.  The matchbox measures approximately 2 inches. There is a drawing of a ship on the front and an illustration of a wave on the back. All illustrations done by me, Paula Mills.

I have been recently inspired by all things nautical - a little trend floating around at the moment. Camille ( the little red head character that I draw) finds herself all decked out in a sailors outfit and has taken to the seas in a blue and white striped tea cup. I have also worked on a water color drawing of an old ship perched on some very high sea with a little message blowing in the wind. (my prints are available to buy in our etsy shop ) I have seen a few interesting nautical inspired bits and pieces on the web which I thought I would share: nautical wall paper ; more nautical wall paper of old ship ; dutch delft blue and white sailing ring; compass card vintage dictioanary art print; sailor vignette print. Hope you are all having a fantastic Tuesday. Paula x
