Life Instyle August 2013

Here are some images from our stand at Life Instyle, Melbourne, just last week.
What a huge 4 days, where we had the opportunity to meet and talk to stockists, stylists and decorators from around the country and overseas. Thank you to everyone who popped in to visit our stand.

We have heaps of new things happening:
Stationery, new cards (which aren't in this picture - hence the empty space at the top of the card rack!!), new wrapping paper and gift tags.
Textiles for the home, a new range of cushions, and wall hangings.
Textiles for the kids, with world maps, height charts and cotton ABC books.
Limited Edition artwork and original paintings on paper.

It's been a busy few months to say the least, and we are looking forward to adding the new products to our online shop over the coming weeks and also to see it in stores soon too.

A bit of 50s inspiration

I actually had a little bit of time today to play, with shapes and colours, pattern and design that is. I haven't had a spare minute in months, so it was nice. This one is inspired by 50s modernist textile design. Not sure what it will become yet.........

Mr PS tea towels and more

What a cool shop I have found.... its called Mr PS, and its got some wonderful screen printed tea towels, art work and other bits and pieces. And a nice blog too, lots of interesting goodies...

Chocolate Goodness

I think textile designers are amazing. It's one of those things I wish I had studied or explored when I was younger and had more time. There is something about the tactile nature of this form of design that just makes my heart go a flutter!
I found some very designy (not sure if this is a word) and gorgeous things at the chocolate creative shop and on their blog!

For the Home : Tea towels by Skinny Laminx

I am always looking out for lovely things for my home. These teatowels by skinny laminx are amazing. Love the colours and design. I am a huge fan of screenprint and the teatowel - but not so much of washing dishes. These are too pretty to use, they could just sit happily in the kitchen.....

Lucienne Day Tea Towel

How beautiful is this tea towel. The colours are delicious. Lucienne Day is a super star in my eyes. Love it all. She is so inspiring. I am saving up to buy a gorgeous book about her and her husband and their design. xxx

original drawings

I've been doing some illustrations, I got out all my lovely 2B, 4B and EE pencils and played around. I can't get enough of 50s design, and I got my inspiraton here from the textiles produced in the era. Made them into more giclee prints for my shop. x
