Whimsical animal prints served à la française
Our Bastille Day celebration continues with these stunning French animal prints that are perfect for a kids' room, although I think I'd like them anywhere in my home. The Blackboard Animal French Prints at Etsy's Eviva Prints are so striking, with that inky chalkboard-black background contrasting with the clever animal forms made from ephemera suggesting the description. So for example, Le lapin qui ecrit (the rabbit who writes--my own favorite) is made of old French postcards; The cat who sings is made of sheet music; The elephant who bakes has been cut from an old recipe; The horse who shops is made of...you guessed it, a shopping list. Including red apples, of course.

I love everything about them. Provided the cat poster doesn't make my kids want to get another cat--a French cat. Unless it sings. That might be cool. -Liz Find the Blackboard Animal French Prints at Etsy's Eviva Prints.
