I'm really sorry I haven't posted anything lately, it's not that I haven't had anything to share it's just I've been so flat out. I flew to Sydney yesterday for the Life In Style Fair, wow what an exhausting day. I'm sure I was speaking gibberish and made no sense to anyone by the end of it. So many beautiful things to look at and touch which was fantastic for me, (I usually choose my interstate stock via the web) but talk about sensory overload!

I saw so many amazing things it was hard to decide what I should get and what I could leave behind. A couple of items worth a mention... whimsical butterfly wall plaques cut from old china plates. Bird Textiles new fabric covered cuckoo clocks.... I can't wait to get these in store. I think I'll set them all fifteen minutes apart so I can hear them cuckoo all day long (so what if it drives the men folk mad). Super cute pendants that look as through someone has put your mums ornaments in a shrinking machine and these have been spat out and threaded onto a chain. Lots of lovely bits and pieces from Blink Designs. There's so much more but my brain is still battling to remember anything. All in store soon.

Mexican Cross

An old hospital bed full of romantic cushions... the perfect spot to spend a lazy afternoon. I've sold quite a few of these old beds as day beds. They had a prior life at the South Port Private Hospital.


Seeing as Valentines Day is rapidly approaching I thought I'd post a romantic plea by the master himself Nick Cave.

Love Letter

I hold this letter in my hand
A plea, a petition, a kind of prayer
I hope it does as I have planned
Losing her again is more than I can bear
I kiss the cold, white envelope
I press my lips against her name
Two hundred words. We live in hope
The sky hangs heavy with rain

Love Letter Love Letter
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love Letter
Go tell her Go tell her

A wicked wind whips up the hill
A handful of hopeful words
I love her and I always will
The sky is ready to burst
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
Said something I did not mean to say
It all came out the wrong way

Love Letter Love letter
Go get her Go get her
Love Letter Love letter
Go tell her Go tell her
