<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On Saturday just gone, <a href="http://www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Anna Spiro</a> held another one of her fabulous flea markets at her store {<a href="http://www.blackandspiro.com.au/" target="_blank">Black & Spiro</a>}. It was a Christmas flea and had a number of Brisbane artists displaying their wares & beautiful things they had made. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to launch some of my own products which included cushions and tablecloths. I have had these in the pipeline for so long & it was a fabulous opportunity to have them displayed amongst so many other beatiful things. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The cushions & tablecloths were all made by me. There were cushions made from a vintage tropical toile fabric, hand block printed with the word "love" in fluoro pink and also orange. They were a hit {thank you so much to everyone who purchased one} & the fabric is stunning. There is only a small amount of fabric left so I will be working out today how many cushions are left for those who have placed orders!!! The other cushions were a cute pink/white stripe & orange/white stripe with hand sewn pom poms in the shape of a heart. I am a little obsessed with love hearts {as you may have gathered from many of my earlier posts} so this series of cushions I called 'Spread the Love'.... Just in time for Christmas. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The tablecloths are a large patchwork design made from a mixture of bright & colourful florals, stripes, spots etc. They would look fabulous on a Christmas table or outside for a garden BBQ.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thanks so much to Anna & the girls for a great day and to all of you who came along & supported!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There will be many changes happening in the new year both on the blog & with my new venture so stay tuned!!! There will be more beautiful wares coming in the new year so I will keep you all posted.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Last night I was excited to attend the <a href="http://www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Anna Spiro</a> for Porters Paints launch party held at <a href="http://www.blackandspiro.com.au/" target="_blank">Black & Spiro</a>. What an great night it was - Congratulations to Anna for hosting a wonderful evening and for the wallpaper collaboration with Porters. It is something so different & special and will be a success I'm sure!!! The shop looked amazing and was filled with gorgeous flowers and garden plants to compliment the wallpaper range {as well as the usual amazing decor, furniture & accessories}. If you live in Brisbane and haven't been to have a look yet, you must!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">The range can be viewed online at <a href="http://www.porterspaints.com/wallpapers/designer-for-porters/anna-spiro" target="_blank">Porters Paints</a>, and there are sample books available in Porters Paints outlets as well at <a href="http://www.blackandspiro.com.au/" target="_blank">Black & Spiro</a>.</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I hope you all have a lovely weekend. We are off to the coast to attend Sam's first party - his cousins 1st birthday party, so should be fun!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This exciting package arrived via courier late on Friday afternoon... Gorgeous fabric found at <a href="http://www.proudmary.org/" target="_blank">Proud Mary</a> thanks to the last edition of <a href="http://www.lonnymag.com/" target="_blank">Lonny</a>!!! The fabrics are hand printed by a womens co-op in South Africa using potatoes as their print blocks. It is a great quality base cloth and the colours are vibrant - the fabric is an artwork in itself. You can check out Harper's blog & store <a href="http://www.proudmary.org/" target="_blank">here</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Hope you have a fabulous week :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Well, the poor herb garden suffered somewhat once the baby arrived {watering & tending to herbs was WAY down on my priority list!} so inspired by some gorgeous {and not too hot} sunny days, I went off to the nursery. Here are some newbies alongside some oldies in their glory, basking in the morning sun.... Now, where's the fertiliser?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">These books arrived late last week & were amongst some I ordered recently. Can't wait to sit down & enjoy them. They have been around for a while but I love adding to my growing collection. You can never have too many books!</span><br />

Time has absolutely flown since the little addition to our family {I can't believe Sam is now just over 10 weeks old!!!}. There has been great times with family & friends over the Christmas / New Year holiday period and lots of special memories have been created. We are enjoying this time so much as a family and I am muddling my way through motherhood :-) The days are now settling into some sort of routine so I hope to be back here more often. </span></div><div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"></span></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On the 24th November we had a new addition to our family arrive... Little Samuel Oscar was born {suprising us by being 2 weeks early}. It was such a wonderful & emotional day for both of us & also our families. He has settled in to our house so well & we are gradually getting used to having a little one around as well as learning to adjust to the new challenges that go with raising a child. He has grown so much already & we are so excited about having his first Christmas at our house, with both families coming to share in this special time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I will share more pics in weeks to come & be sure to keep you all updated!!! As I get used to being a mother {albeit with limited sleep}, I will be back here much more often and promise not to have such a long break in between posts from now on!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I hope all has been well with you & I look forward to reading everyone's blogs again and catching up with what has been happening in blog land.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">See you soon....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">All is flourishing in the garden at the moment. I have been cutting roses for the last few days as each morning there are new buds bursting open. They are making the house smell so beautiful & I have some in nearly every room!!! I hope you all had a relaxing weekend... Ours was filled with lots of jobs including painting the final 2 rooms of the house - We are nearly there with all the finishing touches. Then comes the decorative finishes which are of course never finished & a work in progress :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I have loved this artwork by <a href="http://www.mirandaskoczek.com/">Miranda Skoczek</a> for a long time , so I took the plunge recently and it came home with me {courtesy of <a href="http://www.edwinacorlette.com/artists-view?aid=3">Edwina Corlette Gallery</a> in New Farm}. It now hangs proudly in my lounge room & I must say that it really helps finish off the space. I am just trying to decide on some new cushion covers to add to my collection for the sofa underneath - oh the dilemmas!!! Once I have the room looking respectable, I'll be sure to post a picture of the painting in situ.</span><br />

I can't wait to sit down and read the whole copy. I had a quick flick and am looking forward to the article on Nicki Townsend's home - it looks amazing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There was nothing I enjoyed more during our past overseas trips than visits to the local markets. The vast array of produce & goods was always beyond my expectations and the colours were a feast for the eyes {as well as providing for a delicious meal later}. I received these images in my inbox on my way to work this morning from my mother in law who is currently taking a group of ladies through France with her business <a href="http://www.girlsontour.com.au/">'Girls on Tour</a>'. These were her photos from the market in Nice, which had me longing to be back in France!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I hope your week is smooth sailing so far... It's nearly the weekend!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">There has been lots happening around our neck of the woods lately {but more on that later in the week}... It was nice to take some time out today & enjoy the 1st birthday edition of the IvP online magazine. My favourites from the mag are above & are the work of designer Liz Caan. I am smitten with that artwork in the second picture!!!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This gorgeous little bunch was given to me on Friday morning as a treat {from the garden fairy}. It took pride of place in the house as my sister was down for a conference & stayed the night with us - so exciting as we don't get to see her very often! It had brightened my desk all day {despite the crazy weather we had in Brissie}.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Hope you all had a lovely weekend whatever you were up to. We had lots on which included a special christening on Sunday, as well as spending time with my sister doing dinner & shopping!!! Overall, a tiring but great weekend :-)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The simplicity of this picture is what caught my eye... With spring having arrived last week, these colours to me are the epitome of this season - Fresh, crisp & clean colours that evoke a happy sense of being.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">I hope you had all had a great weekend & are ready for another week!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It's been another big week & I'm glad it's the weekend! Thought I would leave you with a dining room that I absolutely love. I don't know whether it's the painted dining table, the collection of vintage furniture pieces or the artwork that I like the most. I could quite happily live with this!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">Have a fabulous weekend </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I've never been one to wear nail polish much but lately I have been wanting to add some more colour to my wardrobe... What a perfect accent this is!!! Off to find some more colours to add to my small collection!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After a grey and dreary day here {great though as it was a public holiday!}, these images from the latest <a href="http://www.veranda.com/">Veranda magazine</a> transport you to a beautiful sunny house in the Bahamas. Would have loved to be here today :-)</span><br />
