creative combo

Here's a nice example of creative minds combining forces! Xanthe from Cinnamon Swan has designed some amazing black on black wrapping paper exclusively for Meadowlark. So next time you get a little piece of silver or gold goodness from them, it will arrive looking even more luxurious than imagined!!

spilt milk

If I had a wee one...this is what they would be wearing! so cute! New kids wear from Spilt Milk at endemicworld.com

enter Libby Kingscote!

Brace your selves for something a little bit different and refreshing!! Libby Kingscote is a talented young print maker based on her family farm in North Canterbury, NZ. I have had a total crush on her work for sometime now and am pleased to say I am not the only one!!! Only drawback is Libs is an artist...not a blogger or website fiend, so at this stage if you would like to see more of her work or contact for pricing, please contact me and I will refer you on :)

into the gloom

Lucy Gauntlett is a Clever Bastard...Oh yesss she is!! Her photography is so edgy and dark...really feels like something is about to "happen" in each image and I'm not sure if I want to be there when it does!! Check her out or buy your own here.

hijacked by hats...

So I just found the brother and sister creative duo of Neverland Collective (GREAT name!) via cool site Good As. My brain has been totally hijacked by their whimsical photography showing their range of hats (also funky jewellery) and I am in love. I mean they are just HATS but now, due to those pics...they are hats I have got to HAVE!

mooching around at Moose

I haven't visited the Australian online store Moose for ageeesss...and I am so glad I did today! I have just been having a lovely little trek through all their goodies and have discovered a new favourite ( I need another favourite like a hole in the head...but these things can't be helped!)
Introducing Shuxin Liang!!

retro nudes

I stumbled across Melissa Sharplin in yesterdays Southland Times where she posed with a large scale print of her work above at Wellingtons Affordable Art Show. I have had a long look through her site and especially love her Retro Nudes series. The Christchurch based artist makes her art truly accessible with fine art prints starting at $200 through to large scale giclee prints. Brilliant.

Home Sweet Home...and it tells the time too. Renee Boyd at Clever Bastards.

Rich rich new work from Aussie Patches!! wow

am back!!!!

Me and Max last week up the mountain...before the flu slayed me.

I cannot believe how long I have been "away"!!! I have had the flu, something wicked, and just completely lacked any get up and go!! This is the longest I have ever NOT blogged since starting, and I have got to admit it has had been thinking a bit "why" in fact I do blog??? There are sooooooooooooooooo many brilliant sites out there that I love to visit, but not sure that mine needs to be among them? hmmmm. Regardless, still here!! and will find some goodies for you all....if you are still there...

The Monstrosity Necklace

This is NOT a monstrosity. This is D.I.V.I.N.E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From Munted Kowhai

Pepperminte Poise

Perdita Drake from the creative mind of Caitlin Shearer at Pepperminte. She kind of scares me but I like her!!

lurve

oh just spotted this wee gem at the House of Aroha Blog.

Dying for Deco!

These are some GORGEEEOUS pieces from the most recent Meadowlark collection Eternal Garden. I have seen the entire collection in the flesh and it is safe to say I would happily sacrifice a criminal record if I could steal the Deco Cocktail ring!! Check out their site for the rest of their ranges AND nip to their blog for a run through on their design to production process!

down in Wombat Hollow

These are GREAT!! Michael Yabsley has taken some great care in giving industrial and historical finds a new lease of life as our favourite warming household essential, the lamp. These are certainly works of art in the fact that they are all one off items....or orphan artefact's as he has named them. You can email Michael directly through his site Wombat Hollow (how is that for the perfect whimsical story book name!!!) and they are now available at EDIT.

T-REX from Scary Washing Machine

I tricked you. THIS is actually the last post of the day.....
The Scary Washing Machine phenomenon is now wearable!!!!
