Loving The Performers
As a fan of Famille Summerbelle and the lovely Julie I was not disappointed when I logged on and read the recent post showing the latest collection "The Performers". I also feel very happy as I now feel I've found 'the cushion' for the nursery! Also a mug or two for me!
If you'd like any of these products by Famille Summerbelle pop across to their website (link above) to be treated to a great assortment of products with great shipping prices too.
If you're looking to be a stockist and visiting Maison et Objet go by their stand and get a real treat by viewing the collection for yourself.

fabulous prints, great studios, happy designers
These three go together, they're the perfect trio and also exactly what you need when finding good prints for products.
In my many years of designing for small brands, big brands, niche, high street and studios where you're not always in the know as to who the client is and what the end product will be I've always been fortunate to be happy in what I'm doing.
Well with the time of year turning to trade shows again it's a busy time for designers and studios getting together all their prints ready to sell sell sell!
Here are some snippets from studio Cinnamon Joe, they have a jolly diverse portfolio and have taken on fresh talent in the past few months if you like any of these sneak peaks or anything on their website just give them a call, they're happy to chat and lovely too.

Fox love
As a younger man my dad had a pet fox he named him Basil.
Dad has always had a soft spot for these creatures.
I'm sure he'll be loving these Foxes too!

Farewell Paper Runway
I was saddened to see in my inbox this morning the news that Paper Runway will be no more. Nikee and Maree were sad to announce the news that due to unforeseen circumstances Paper Runway will not be releasing any forthcoming issues. Issue 4 and 5 will be available for purchase until sold out.
For those of you not familiar with Paper Runway it's an independent publication that is designed, made and printed in Australia. It is 'passion for paper' a subject close to my heart. The content is refreshing, unique and inspiring, packed with inspirational images, exciting yet simple DIY projects and beautiful products, reviews and interviews. Here are a few images and a sad bye bye x

turned to a tea-pot and messyfish......
The morning routine always would include a pot of coffee, it still does just I'm not drinking it at the moment. I've turned to tea and it's usually a bag in a mug kind of approach, this changes through the day as fresh leaves get picked from the herb beds. This mornings find however has made me think I really need to do a pot of tea.....why?
Because check out this knitted gem by Etsy seller MessyFishDotCom

And finally if knit doesn't rock your boat these gorgeous prints surely will..

grey
Sad to say this post again is related to the weather and unlike the blue post where the weather was not getting me now I'm now on the brink of changing my mind. The relentless wet weather seems to be not letting up and even when I look 5-10 days ahead there is the rain cloud symbol on each day. Despite the popularity of clouds in the creative world when it comes to the sky I'd love to blow them away, this is backed up by my two girls too!
Grey however can and is a gorgeous colour, and these fabulous finds back that thought up nicely!

transformer tuesday #19
Really our time is getting more and more tight especially as mini1 has all day at her pre-school now and we don't have her help come Tuesdays when we are transforming. End of term madness plus new projects I've taken on on top of the already full day(s).
Today however minimini1 was keen to get out the paints and I had a whole load of boxes and such for the recycle bin so what better than pick one of them and add it to the paints, gluppy glue and make an owl or two!
The fun recycled object we saved from the recycle bin was a egg box and here is what we made of it!

blue
I can't resist a post on blue following the yellow post a couple of weeks ago. Our mood is not blue in fact we are quite sunny today (inside) having done some lovely paintings with the girls and just now made a delicious cake for this afternoon's indoor treat.
No, I'm going with blue because of the relentless rain we are getting, today is set for the worst rainfall to date this 'summer' and although it sometimes feels a little draining our roses are very happy and these blue finds are beautiful....
