Bison Home

While spending a lovely sunny day in Melbourne roaming around the wonderful streets, alley ways and stores, my friend introduced me to a stunning range of ceramics by Bison. Why had I never seen this before? Made from durable stoneware by hand by Brian Tunks and his brilliant team, this range of products made me so happy. The shapes, the colours were so inspiring. Colour is such an emotive thing, and finding a whole shop full of beautiful colours was so exciting! Look.....
(all photos from Bison web site).
And then as we were leaving, I read a fabulous quote on their window by the amazing Henry Thoreau and I was inspired to create a print....

More ceramics.... lovely graphics.

Just some more lovely things to share, all found on one of my favourite sites - Illustrated Living.
Full of the best illustrated stuff around, enjoy.

More Danish loveliness.... Anne Black

As you may have worked out by know, I kinda like typography, and I sort of have a thing for Danish design. So when you combine them, you get beautiful pieces like these love rings by Anne Black. I like the flower rings on the right here too. Delicate, simple and on my list! xx

oh ah more loveliness... Helbak Scherning

Two very talented women from Denmark make up this gorgeous shop which I would love to visit.
One does ceramics (Helbak), the other jewelry (Scherning), Simple shapes, delicious colours. You can't look at this stuff and not feel good.

A customer of ours commented on one of the Helbak pieces we have in our products shots, and how she has just come back from a trip in Europe which included visiting this shop.... (oh, I am very jealous!!). I promptly hopped online to find out more about this little piece of ceramic heaven (of which I knew nothing about, shame on me) and you can too, have a look see here, it's lovely.

palomas nest

More stunning, beautiful things. There is nothing like a positive message, from the simple statements on the wooden blocks to the the minimalist bird ornaments, Palomas nest is a great place to find inspiration and goodies for Christmas!

beautiful colours

How beautiful are these bowls? Such lovely colours and textures.
