Last Minute DIY: Christmas Gift Ideas
Found this gorgeous planter tutorial from Vintage Revivals which is a very cool new blog I found thanks to Pinterest. The design is inspired by Finnish tradition of Himmeli. According to this source, back in the day Himmeli was hung above the dining table to ensure a good crop of Rye. There are plenty of gorgeous Christmas ornament tutorials out there or pre-made ones for sale on Etsy. The planter is made from copper tubing which you can buy here in Australia.

Photo Shoot Preview
On the weekend I had the pleasure of being part of a fabulous team of women that worked on a ridiculously amazing photo shoot here in Canberra. Spoilt with beautiful talent, beautiful locations and frocks, an amazing beauty team and our incredibly gifted photographer Lauren we were in photo shoot heaven. Aly and Kate from Gypseygirl Beauty and Sass Hair Design provided so many different looks over two days and our gorgeous model Melody was so versatile, patient and professional. All except the above dress were from Enchante Bridal and Formal Wear.
It was refreshing to make a few pieces with fresh flowers - the circlet above is made from babies breath and the bouquet chin chincherinchees. The top photo is a circlet made from Olive tree leaves from my friends garden.
Above is a tuelle diamante piece that will be available in my Etsy store soon. I'm still on a high, haven't stopped talking, feeling a little weary and sunburnt. There was a lovely camaraderie with the girls, I love meeting new people and I enjoyed the break from my normal routine. I wonder if tomorrow I will have post-shoot blues? I don't think the school run will allow time for that...
