a new print?

Awwww.
A new print? Maybe.... or it could be the beginnings of a long lingering idea.
Been thinking about this for a while and have had requests for a certain type of print, so maybe it's time.

Stay tuned.

Happy Friday!  xx

loving my... emily green necklace

I purchased this little number a few weeks ago, and have to say I love it! I bought it, so must of liked it, but I can't stop wearing it. And the colours are gorgeous. They make me happy. And what is so cute, is that both the boys love looking at it and playing with it when I wear it.
It was so hard choosing just one, I may need to pop another on my birthday wish list....
Emily Green is a Melbourne based designer who makes artworks, brooches and necklaces. I am sure you have seen her work around town, and now she is selling her wares in the equally stunning Obus stores. Shopping heaven. xx

Colour Heaven... The Pantone Hotel

Colour. It's such a huge part of every designers day (and life). And Pantone is king of colour. I stumbled across this little gem on FB the other day and thought, hmmm, it deserves further investigation. You will find this stunningly designed hotel by Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert, in Brussels. With a canvas on white, the colours POP.  Yes there is a Pantone Hotel. Brilliant, brilliant idea. Who would ever think to do this, and yet now that you see it, well why wouldn't you? Inspired,  oh I think so.
