Realizing that her odd knitted toys had garnered an audience after it all sold out during her final show, Donna Wilson started her own line in 2003 after graduating from the Royal College of Art. What follows is a collection that is as eclectic as it is fun. From fun characters – Meg, an avid traveler – to a few new additions including Meg’s boyfriend (he’s the bearded one), Donna’s shop is not only filled with quirky characters eternalized in plush toys, but is also well stocked with curious cushions, luxurious lambswool blankets, and variety of products that will make your house guest smile.

What I love about her collection is that it straddles the very fine line between sweet without being overly girly. The characters and their world are made up just right and perfect, and would seem cool in a guy’s pad as much as a lady’s apartment (let me know if I’m wrong on this one!)

Read all about her in the interviews she has given throughout these past few years, all collected and bundled neatly into a PDF that you can download!

Fun stickers of weird yet huggable characters by James Burlinson aka Burlisaurus, an illustrator & designer who’s based in Huddersfield, England. Although the stickers are for his final project in school, he’s already a part of design studio Neon Gravy, and has a self professed love for character design (surprise, surprise!) His characters are quite lovable – there’s a lot of detail in each one, and I’d really like to see more from him!

You can see some of his process over at his flickr stream!
