QUOTE FOR TODAY

MOSSER TERRARIUM'S

 

I happen to be obsessed with plants, flowers, home keeping and everything else that my nomadic life cannot really contain... I of course, got a terrarium, you know... .. I found The Mosser yesterday and I'm oh! so smitten with it. The Mosser is a small glass terrarium filled with a simple round moss ball. The Mosser comes with a glass mister bottle used to feed your plant. They are very easy to care for and only need to be sprayed once every two weeks with filtered water. How good does that sound, fellow plant killers? AND makes a perfects gift for anyone.

JENNIFER LAWERENCE

Aside from the obvious feathery fancy, the images are, to put it plainly, completely 

stunning of Jennifer Lawrence.

BECI ORPIN'S NEW BOOK

                     

I have liked Beci Orpin's design and illustration work for a long time .And I recently heard her speak at Craft Victorica's Craft and Design as Career.Very Inspirational. So when i heard and saw pictures of her new book. I had to do a post. I can’t wait for the book to be out in bookstores from the 1st of November. Which is a bit of a wait...... Keep an eye out here for some sneak peeks and also Melbourne and Sydney launch party details.

COLLECTIONS OF OBJECTS

 


I cant help myself at the moment.I'm a bit obsessed with collections of objects.It could be the cute groupings of all these tiny objects or the fact that they are coloured and grouped ahhh so nice and visually pleasing to the eye !!!

NOT TUESDAY

                        

I came across this brand my the name of Not Tuesday while i was in the shop the other day. I love colour combinations so bright and vibrant.Perfect for Spring/Summer .Not Tuesday is designed by Rachel Wightman .Creating harmonious and sometimes unexpected combinations for her necklaces. Each necklace is made from a selection of polymer clay beads which are all handmade and colour mixed by Rachel, making each one unique.

Her  background is in magazines where she has worked as an interiors stylist for over 10 years. She is a mum and maker .And very creative always making clothes, jewellery, artwork, cards, cushions, etc etc. Primarily for myself though, and more recently for her daughter. For a while now she has been making her own necklaces but never been able to source beads that she really loved. The solution of course was to make her own. A failed experiment with resin led her to polymer clay, with which she started mixing different colours and creating different combinations of beads. And that is where Not Tuesday began.

FAT MAGAZINE

 

                                                                                                                                      FAT Magazine is a new international magazine from Denmark, published by the
 Copenhagen-based design agency Dyhr.Hagen. We had the pleasure of designing pages for FAT MAGAZINE Issue 2, based on the keyword "Re-Invention." Typography is designed with flowers.

KIP & CO

Kip & Co began as the little dream of Melbourne girls, Alex, Kate and Hayley to create bright and beautiful. It’s their first range and to celebrate they’ve called it Confetti Storm SS12. Bringing new colour and energy to our bedrooms for summer. It’s a colourful range, with explosions of bright neons and sharp patterns that can be mixed and matched. Kip & Co designs have been inspired by unique, wild, and brave art and nature, soaked up on backpacking adventures around the globe and flea markets down the road .I love how they have mixed the bright modern prints with the velvet quilt covers – clever! A new quilt cover and a couple of cushions can change the look of a bedroom entirely.

FIRST WEEKEND OF SPRING

                 

 "Spring i haven't seen you in a while, maybe a bit too long". I forgot how good you are. It  was pleasure to be reacquainted again and to sit and bask in your presence."Three days so far ,so good. With sun and the blooms in all their glory. I couldn't ask for anything more pleasant. To feel the warm rays on my very white skin. What a beautiful way to start spring and September.

I couldn't resist posting these pictures I took over the past weekend - the first of Spring! The weather was absolute perfection. Saturday was spent doing some spring cleaning, buying fresh flowers ,drinking tea in the sun and later heading down the beach with my boy and seeing friends on the way. Sunday was of course Father's Day .However most of the day was spent on the beach being outside, walking outside and having a nice afternoon nap .Then headed back for a hefty family dinner with Cheesecake  to top it off. It was pretty much the perfect weekend.

I hope you all enjoyed your weekends, too.x
