I ♥ Kate Spade (NY)

I'm a little obsessed with designer Kate Spade of New York, and frequently visit her website to check out the new treasures available. I am in love with these idiom bangles, each engraved with a cute little phrase. I love the fiery red bangle "take heart" the best, but any would be a treat! 

Creative women

My lovely and talented sister in law Captain kk is in a book! The book is a series of interviews with some very talented creative ladies that are part of the group Creative Womens Circle I can't wait to get my hands on a copy.


" Conversations with Creative Women is a collection of 14 exclusive interviews with some of Australia’s most talented female creatives, from industries as varied as millinery, textile design, blogging, architecture, retail, writing, weaving and fashion design.

The women interviewed in this book are at different stages in their careers, with varying responsibilities at home, as an employee, as a self-employed freelancer or as a business owner. They talk about their careers and creative lives with insight and generosity "

Bright and busy.

I'm a sucker for a good window display, while walking down Brunswick street late one evening i was drawn to this beautiful burst of colour hanging in the window of a stationery store. I love that it's got some much going on in one small space, I just had to share!

Felt frenzie.

A few months ago it was my nieces third birthday, I wanted to give her a present that would last and that she would actually want to play with, then i remembered how much she loves to play with her mini kitchen. 
I set off on a mission to make a collection of felted sweet treats that would look like the real thing. Once I'd finished i had cookies, doughnuts, cake and even tea bags, but nothing to display them in or on. 
So back to the craft shop to get more felt and design my very own cake stand. I'm pretty proud of my tiny treats it was sad to see them go, I had so much fun making them, but I'm happy i got such a good reaction when i gave them to her!!

I've been an admirer of polli jewelry for a while now and only recently noticed that they have a range of pendants and brooches made from wood. I love me a wooden brooch, and these little beauties remind me of my Diana mini. It's definitely one for the wish list! 

Lomovember.

CLICK ANY PHOTO TO ENLARGE

To celebrate lomovember i decided to share some of my latest photos from my Diana mini. There's a bit of everything; the lost and found market, the Zoo, Sorrento etc. I love that every photo has a differnt tint, i think my favourite from this batch is the one with the really dark shadowy trees in front of the Sorrento beach.

Grandeliers.

I love homewares and design pieces using natural materials, so when i came across these beautiful 'Grandeliers' from Who Did That I was in awe. They come flat packed and ready to attach to any light fitting. I'm definetly considering getting one.

Beautiful Bunny.

I love pretty little dishes to store my keepsakes and jewellery and as my love bird ring dish is quite small i thought the addition of this beautiful little bunny dish would be a perfect fit for my room. I picked it up while in Melbourne this weekend for a concert, i found it at sportsgirl of all places?!

Love birds.

A little over a month ago I attended a wedding in the beautiful seaside town of Sorrento, we were staying for a few days so i had pelnty of time to walk around the town and check out the shops.
One store in particular tickled my fancy, they had a huge range of white bone china ornaments, dishes and vases. I fell in love with the smallest piece, this little love heart shaped dish with two love birds. So cute! It was a must have for my room and now it houses my most precious rings.
