Rachel Davidson Brown, a former stylist (for magazines such as Donna Hay, Inside Out, Vogue), has created a beautifully design range of homewares called attia. The range is so simple and minimal, with a warm and organic feel.
Last Sunday morning I met up with the lovely Owls for crafting, coffee (tea for me) and a chat. I really enjoyed catching up with the other gals after my lack of attendance at Brown Owls for so long. We were joined by former Brissy Owl Steph, who's now my near neighbour in Sydney. Yay!

Sweet and quirky bone china objects for your home from Have you met Miss Jones?
Amy Butler has teamed up with Graham & Brown to create a new line of wallpaper in her signature vibrant style. I'm loving the retro vibe of the design in the second image.

You may have gathered from the previous post I'm looking around for a new messenger-style bag. The other one I'm coveting is this fabulous green leather bag by The Leather Store. I adore the colour even though it's not something I'd usually go for. I like that the Ella since Osix bags and this one are totally different... perhaps I need to buy both.

Do you remember the 80's band The Happy Mondays? I was quite a fan at the time. But this post isn't about 80's music nostalgia... I just wanted to check in and say hello and wish you a lovely start to the week.
Angie Lewin's illustrations and pattern design have a distinctive style that comes from her printmaking background. I was inspired to find more of her work when I discovered the gorgeous fabrics she designed for Liberty's new season fabric collection.

Australian magazine Better Homes & Gardens is going live in Sydney in October and I have a bunch of tickets to giveaway.
At the event you'll be able to wander around beautifully designed room sets and show gardens to pick up inspiration for your home. There'll be new home and garden products to try and buy, free seminars, and workshops for one-on-one hands-on advice. It sounds like fun doesn't it. Of course there will also be inspiring talks and demos from Better Homes & Gardens personalities, including Graham Ross, Tara Dennis, Rob Palmer, Jason Hodges, ‘Fast’ Ed Halmagyi and Dr Harry.

The Scandinavians seem to do white interiors to perfection. I love the overall sense of pure whiteness with pops of colour.
