Three of my greatest loves – candy stripes, polka dots and gift wrapping – all come together with these darling and delightful little characters from Pocket Carnival.

Melbourne designer Penny Eager loves to sew and draw and combining her twin talents to create Pocket Carnival. There’s plenty of great products including handmade coin purses, pencil cases, cards and the delightful candy-striped gift tags (pictured above).  Gorgeous sewn goods come with original illustrations printed on organic cotton. The pencil cases and coin purses are irresistibly cute and even perfect for storing a dummy or two in your handbag.

Penny also creates beautiful original artwork with bunny, bear, fox and deer characters which are bound to capture the imaginations of the smallest people in your life!

You can see all the Pocket Carnival goodies at Pocket Carnival or at Etsy.  The coin purses are $16 and the gift tags $5 for a set of eight.  Postage to everywhere is free in most cases!
