Needs:

Hello ! I would love a logo that can express at the same time sobriety and have a country house feel to it, I'll also have business cards with a grainy texture using recycled paper.
"L'armoire à cuillères" ("the spoon drawer") is the french name that I picked for my chocolat coffee shop as it expresses at the same time a vintage feel, nostalgia, wood, materials (the drawer), full-rounded flavour and deserts (the spoon), but it also relates to books as it's a sentence from an anti-consumerism song from Boris Vian called "La complainte du progres".
Boris Vian has a very caustic , offbeat, ironic humor. I love his intended misuse of words.
Anyway, I would like a logo that reflects on all these themes and evocative, that takes you a journey and at the same time have that comfort and reassuring aspect of childhood objects.
I don't want it to be explicit! For instance : A drawer and a spoon, or a book and a cup...

I would like something that is offbeat and reassuring (yes, impossible... (sigh) )
It could be a mascotte
I love white handwritten fonts, a bit sloppy, like our grandmas can have.
My logo will be used everywhere from labels on my chocolate paste to my future by-products ( cooking apron...)
A vector version the logo would be welcomed.

Company description:

It's a hot chocolate coffeeshop with home made pastries, and second hand books. The place is in te historical center of the town.

Target group:

Women and children!! Of course, old ladies and tourists, but for the most, it would be the 18-34 years old workers.

Colors, favourites and other requirements

I like wood, yellow and orange from East of Europe, but cold coulours from the North of Europe. So, at least, all is fine, except flashy colours!!
Thank you for yout help.

      Une mascotte en forme de lapin :
      - Doux et mignon, il plait aux enfants
      - Il nous porte les chocolats de pâques
      - Il est aussi symbole du terroir et de la tradition gastronomique.
      Traité en dessin vectoriel, il s'adapte à la plupart des techniques d'impression (en particulier le flocage ou la flexo pour le textile) on peut même en fabriquer un emporte pièce, pour un petit sablé maison accompagnant les boissons chaudes !
