Snuggle up in Amy Butlers organic bedding!

Hmmm, it certainly was snuggling weather this weekend!! I would be happy with any of this bed linen to snuggle under, they are 100% organic too :-) Amy Butler you have done it again!

Treasury - Ruby Realm

Vicki is the treasury queen, she has put together this lovely Ruby collection and included my red silk headband modelled by my lovely sister in law, Liz! I haven't tried the new Treasury East feature on Etsy yet... one day!

Must have....

I have a condition called compartmentalizing! Must get to Doug Up On Bourke soon or I might simply die - it is calling my sleep-deprived name! Have a great weekend - I am claiming the Saturday sleep in... (ok hubby??!!! I know you read my blog!!!! ;)

Inleaf - Textile Art

Sweedish born Lotta Helleberg of Inleaf - prints Botanics on natural fibres - winning combination?..... uhhh yeah!!! Lotta has a lovely store on BigCartel and Etsy. I discovered her via Bookhou which is another lovely read and plenty of eye candy!

Paper lust

I could wrap presents ALL DAY in this paper or just sit and stare at it....

Some flowers for you

I came across this lovely floristry blog via Little Ted Canvas. Even though I don't get to do much floristry anymore I still love seeing what is out there and current! Aren't these arrangements beautiful! Neutral palettes get me every time!

Did you know it is hard to blog one-handed and rock a bub at the same time :-) Hoping number 1 & 2 have a rest so I can nap too - I am desperately missing my sleep in's!!!! We had our first outing just the 3 of us today, it was quite successful although poor Josiah had a nappy blow out and cried all the way home! We picked up a baby rocker for the boy for a whopping $15 ;p I love hubby's work classifieds.

My Creative Space - to fray or not to fray?

I have been trying to perfect a big rose design for a while... these two blooms were made a little while back. So, no I am not superwoman making things while juggling no sleep and a newborn!! I just got these photos back and had to share them!! These are both hair clips that double as headbands once on ribbon :-)



I love dupion silk but it does fray a fair bit and the edges don't seal so well... I don't mind frayed - I like it more in the first photo than the second.... I guess it's an individual thing!? Sometimes I worry it can cheapen the look of my hair accessories but there is also something rustic about that unfinished, natural look? Any thoughts?? These gorgeous models belong to 'my' gorgeous Sydney-based children's photographer, Amanda :-) oh and more creative spaces here.

PS: Just a note to set the record straight for my last creative space post: I didn't make honey jumbles 2 days home from hospital!!! They were done a few days before I had Josiah :-) So, I am not crazy nor that clever!

New Find - Rie Elise Larsen

I found Danish designer Rie Elise Larsen via Eat, Drink, Chic and just loved her stuff.... spent way too long browsing her website while I should have been doing other things. So pretty and her range is so diverse!





Saved the best for last... I love, love her stationery range... aren't these boxes great and mmmm......I love green and green loves me!

Shop Handmade - Rosalind's pick of the month

I got my 'pick of the month' in early for Shop Handmade's blog as I knew I was expecting our bub any day and it just so happened it was published the day Josiah was born, so I missed it! But here it is.... my pick was Poppy Letter Press Vine card.



I have shown this photo before as it is the card I bought from the last Handmade Market so here are a few more luscious designs for you to enjoy...









Lovely aren't they! Louise is one clever lady.

Lovely Gifts

I have been sooooo spoilt this past fortnight with both Mothers Day and having another baby! I love to bake and spotted this cookbook a few weeks ago, after flicking through it and drooling for a while, I decided it had to go on the must haves list! I love a good cook book and actually do use all of them frequently. I also love to pull something off the shelf that has been neglected for a while and discover something new all over again.



My hubby coined the term "push present" after we had Anya and I received a lovely white gold eternity ring!!! So on Friday when he said he wanted to get out on his own for the afternoon I must admit I wasn't overly enthusiastic but that soon changed when he came home with some lovely presents for me :-) I received these divine blossom studs from Kidson Jewellery via Shop Handmade, which I had cheekily written on the new shop chalkboard aka - 'wish-list'! And that wasn't all!!! I also got some gorgeous Peter Alexander flannelette's PJ's which are brilliant for night feeds with Josiah! Comfortable, well made and toasty and warm.

Can't get enough of this handsome boy

Josiah - 11 days old



Getting better acquainted with the big sister :-)



There is no shortage of love in our house at the moment!!

Thanks too for everyone's well wishes and lovely comments :-) It is much appreciated.

Denica and Frank - Etsy Bride

I was so thrilled yesterday when one of my Etsy's brides, Denica emailed me a link to her wedding photos taken by the very talented Emily Main! Here are a few shots of the gorgeous bride and her new husband! I truly love seeing my creations worn and appreciated! My fascinator was teamed together beautifully with a birdcage veil. I love ETSY!! More photos on Emily's blog. Oh and make sure you check out Denica's amazing shoes and flowers!!!!

Josiah at Shop Handmade

With Julie and Rachel



Julie enjoying a cuddle



Josiah gave one of Allana C's lovely giraffe's to his big sister when he was born! It was a big hit!



Aren't these awesome! Travel dolls/pillows from Tiny Concept.



Some more Tiny Concept goodies....



and an adorable jacket from.... Little Madam :-) Oh so stylish!

Vintage Wood Type

I started with Vintage this week, so may as well end with it!!! Hubby is a big Typeface fan and I love true vintage and letterpress - so what a great combo you would think... only problem is hubby doesn't like 'stuff' and I do :-) We find a compromise though! These are from MonkiVintage on Etsy and really are quite small, they would look great on a shelf in the office or lounge room!



and I would of course need one of these to display them in....



Have a fabulous weekend!!!
