The classics...

This post was inspired by another shipment of some stunning hand painted Moroccan tables that are now in store at Black & Spiro. They are black & white in various designs, and it got me thinking how classic & striking the black/white combination is. I have touches of black & white around my house but was inspired today by pictures of both fashion & design that I found in my files. There are endless ways of incorporating this classic into design and it fits with every style!!!

Hope your weekend is fabulous so far...

Next on the exhibition list...

Ethel Carrick Fox Flower market, Nice c. 1926 Oil on canvas

I can't wait for this exhibition to open at the Queensland Art Gallery on the 16th April. It is titled ‘Art, Love and Life: Ethel Carrick and E Phillips Fox’ and explores the paintings of an Australian artist who married an English painter. They travelled the world together to exotic places, searching for subjects to paint.

The exhibition is on until 7th August at QAG so make sure you don't miss out if you are in Brisbane!!!

Under the weather...

I've been a little under the weather the past week or so, hence my lack of posts - Sorry!!! I love that weather is getting cooler in my part of the world and can't wait until I can wear scarves & jackets again. I love the simple 'bow' pictured above. Will definitely be trying this one :-)

Matchbook Minnie...

I have a thing for huge bookcases and find it fascinating too see what books other people have & collect. I think you can tell a lot about a person through their book collection. This one above belongs to Minnie Mortimer as shown in the latest Matchbook Magazine issue {which you should check out right now here, if you haven't already}!!!

I have a few little crafty things up my sleeve at the moment... This cute idea made me smile {especially as you know how much I am a sucker for love hearts} :-)

Lilly love...

I just stumbled across these images of the newly renovated Lilly Pulitzer store in Ardmore, Pennsylvania... My favourite part of the store is the incredible toile scenes painted by the extremely talented Paige Smith who is a print designer. The last image above of one of the dressing rooms leaves me speechless!!!
