Further to today's (unintentional) theme of hand knits, take a look at these wonderful porcelain pieces. Annette Bugansky was a costume designer and she now uses her love of textiles, texture and pattern to create tactile bowls, plates and vases that appear to have been knitted. Just beautiful!

While doing one of my regular cruises around the Anthroplogie website last week I came across this divine crocheted throw rug. I adore the randomness of the colour, pattern and scale of all the individual elements that make up this piece. It probably wouldn't work with the style of my home, but I'm lusting after it regardless.
I love that feeling when I see something that makes me gasp. That's what happened when I saw the gorgeous indigo and greys in this beautiful image on another of my must read blogs The Style Files... and then... I focused in on the knitted poufs... OMG... not only did I gasp, but my heart did a little flutter. The out of scale use of knitting (or is it crochet?), the chunky, handmade, textured, goodness of those poufs... I sooo love them.

I had an urgent order for 75 of my Christmas Love Tree cards over the weekend. (yipee!)
While I was in Double Bay delivering the cards I stopped by the beautiful shop Plane Tree Farm and was delighted to find Maileg advent calendars. They had sold out of the little mice and their matchbox beds, but had the advent calendars and a wonderful range of Maileg pixies in various sizes, dressed in the most adorable knitted clothes. The advent calendars are big and so beautiful... from their toes to the tip of their hats they are about a meter and a half tall. You could stash all sorts of treats in their pockets.
And thanks to Bee who emailed me a link to some more advent calendars at Not On The High Street... including the Maileg pixie.
Here's the full range on Maileg's website.
