I love these little still life original oil paintings from Midnight Paintings Etsy shop. Wouldn't they look beautiful hung in a cluster with some vintage lady portraits?!!
A Special Visitor
Last night we were thrilled to be invited to dinner with Karen Cody & Terry Clark (Brisbane agents for Schumacher) and Andrew Puschel from Schumacher in the U.S. Andrew is currently on a whirlwind trip visiting Australia & New Zealand showing some of the beautiful collections from his family company Schumacher. This morning, after a lovely dinner last night Terry brought Andrew up to Black & Spiro. Over morning tea we viewed some of his latest collections. The girls immediately fell in love with much talked about Chiang Mai Dragon. We've ordered lots of drops for our front window display and sample books for our library. It was very interesting to meet and discuss the design industry with Andrew who is 5th generation Schumacher. If you haven't already visited the new Schumacher website, do so as Andrew is responsible for it and he has promised to keep me in the loop with news and upcoming collections. One collection we talked about last night which is being designed by a favourite American Interior Designer is due for release end of the year but I promised I'd keep it a secret for a little while until he gives me the go ahead to tell all!!
Happy Weekend!!
Look at this beautiful house which Joni posted a little while ago - so pretty and charming! Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you next week! xx Anna
Venetian Mirrors
Lately I have been receiving many emails from readers asking me where I would suggest they go to buy a mirror similar to the mirror I have above the vanity in my wardrobe. Lynn at Paris Hotel Boutique has a beautiful one at the moment which I have posted above but Ebay is another great source. Click HERE & HERE to see the many different styles currently available.
Teacup Candles
What a great gift idea this is - a teacup candle created by Australian company MOR Cosmetics. There are a few different ones to collect and after the candle has finished you can use it as a teacup!! How fantastic is that!!
The Flower Room
I love this idea of having a special area with a large sink and lots of bench space to arrange flowers - something to add to the file for the dream house!!

Simply Lovely
Soft greys, white and hints of yellow make this house so fresh and simply lovely - definitely a look you wouldn't tire of very quickly and isn't the garden pretty!
