merry and bright...

We are packing our wares and heading off to the Twilight Market at Portside Wharf, Brisbane tonight. Why not come and do some Christmas shopping in the cool night air? We will be there form 5pm to 9pm, so you even have time to have dinner, put the kids to bed and then sneak out! The fairy lights will be twinkling and we will be having a merry (we love meeting our customers and fellow bloggers) and bright (we will be surrounded by lots of colourful artworks and cushions including our new 'watermelon red' colourway) evening!

Don't forget that we will also be at the Boutique Christmas Markets this Sunday, 11th December from 8am to 3pm.

playing with purple...

We have been playing around with various shades of purple this week and have lots of new artworks on the go in both our vintage and fasbric button ranges. We also received a sample of our fabirc printed in a purple colourway and it is going to look fab!

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

a chair makeover...

A couple of weeks ago I spotted this cane chair in one of my local thrift shops. The interesting detailing caught my eye and I was very pleased to find that it was still there when I returned a few days later. I had parked my car a little distance from the thrift shop and as I was lugging it along, trying to avoid bumping into people, I was stopped by a very nice, immaculately dressed lady who admired my purchase and said what a great find it was! Hooray!

I considered painting the chair a lovely bright shade but opted for the safety and versatility of white in the end. I'm very pleased with the end result - a matte, milky finish which was just what I was after. I have added a bit of colour with one of our new mondocherry cushions in my favourite colour way (sea glass) which perfectly matches my new lamps - a birthday present from my husband, Clare and Mum.

our cushions have arrived...

The light was fading fast, but Joy managed to snap a few photos of our first batch of cushions when she received them yesterday afternoon. Creating these has been quite a process - sketching our designs, converting and transforming them on the computer, playing around with colours and then (the most exciting bit) seeing them printed into fabric by the wonderful girls at Frankie and Swiss. Sisters, Jacqui and Michelle have been so helpful, even printing out a stripe in exactly the right colours for our piping, and it has been such fun getting to know and working with them.

These mondocherry custom made cushions co-ordinate perfectly with our latest collection of blue, green, aqua and pink artworks, all of which will be showcased at the Boutique Markets in Hawthorn, Melbourne this Sunday. They will also be appearing on our new-look website which is coming soon. We've got more cushion designs on the way...
