Red things from around the house

I think red might be my favourite colour....

Liberty fabric love

I spied this brand new Liberty design on the Amitie blog today, so just had to pop into their store to see it in person. Looks like someone will be doing a bit of sewing this weekend....
This wonderful design is 'Cool Coast' by Simon Hart, a British artist whose works are inspired by the harbours and villages of Cornwall.

Colours for boys

Mixing colours for the new seasons boy's collection on a Friday afternoon. Relaxing!

Petunia

Another vintage favourite re-issued in paperback is 'Petunia' by Roger Duvoisin. First published in 1950, this is a sweet little tale about a very silly goose who thinks she knows everything about.... well, everything. I love the front cover - so vibrant!

I ordered my copy from the lovely online store We Heart Books. 

Lambert Lamb birthday cake

Forget the boring old sponge birthday cake - here is a super Lambert version! Fiona sent over these photos of her friends son's 1st birthday party. When he was born Fiona gave him a Lambert Lamb and it became his favourite toy, so for a special birthday treat she organized a yummy Lambert cake. A wonderful idea!

Thanks Fiona!

Winter wattle, berries and blooms

Another nice weekend spent on the farm.

Kirigami

Another little treat from the Kinokuniya bookshop - an inspiring visual diary by Japanese paper artist and Kirigami specialist Kanako Yaguchi. On her website Kanako explains that this is a journal combining photographic images of growing up in Japan, an insight into her daily life, and her artistic work in the medium of paper-cutting.

So beautiful - I wish I had the patience for this intricate work!

Take a look at Kanako's website for more images of her paper-cut designs on a range of other homeware and clothing products.

And beautiful butterflies

I can't resist Nathalie Lete's painterly designs. I bought this colouring book from the wonderful homewares shop Scarlet Jones in Hawthorn East.

Beautiful Birds

Another wallpaper and fabric design for all of the bird enthusiasts out there - Bewick Birds from UK company Lewis and Wood. This design is named after Thomas Bewick, a master wood engraver and naturalist working in the late 1700's.

At the bottom of a London garden....

....is a lovely little cabin that is delightful in every sense of the word! This gorgeous little room is available to hire for photography from Airspace locations. I would love to do a Hiccups photo-shoot there, just a slight teeny problem with distance. Hmmmm.
