Clothes Horse

This fun little photographic essay is the work of Ulrika Kestere. It documents the fairy tale of a girl whose drying laundry is taken by a gust of wind. The girl looks for her clothes across the country-side only to discover them in theses whimsical horse shaped forms. Ok, so this is the 2 second condensed version, but you can check out the unedited story on her blog, Ulicam.

Oh and taking a peek at her website too, she has lots of other lovely images you must see.

Introducing… OUR NEW RANGE! (Finally)

So here is a sneak peek at what we’ve been up to of late. It seems we just can’t avoid being all nostalgic and this range, titled forget me not, is no exception. This time we have moved away from our obsession with books (well sort of, you will see we have snuck them into the photo-shoot), instead we are exploring the theme of a modern take on those dearly treasured family heirlooms in the form of antique rings.

Our online store should be fully stocked in the next couple of weeks so watch this space lovely people.

Bookshelf Porn (the blog)

Marina married that dude with a moustache

So we attended the wedding of two of our favourites on the weekend in Melbourne. As we expected from such a stylish pair (well mostly Marina) the whole set up was AMAZING! Here is a sneak peek of a few of the pics from photographers Bayly and Moore. They are apparently known for their documentary style photography which makes for such lovely and whimsical wedding snaps.

I think THAT dress deserves as special mention too. It's made by Kristie Coakley at House of Snowball. SO beautiful!

Congrats Andy and Marina. xx

tough vs dainty

How cool are these little delights. They have got to be one of the strangest and loveliest amalgamation of ideas. Combining old school sailor tattoos with the tradition of long white gloves creates a super splendid juxtaposition between masculine and feminine, dainty and sweet, and scary and tough. Well we think so anyway.

They are the work of Ellen Greene a Chicago based artist.  You can check out here amazing array of gloves and other bits and pieces here. 

Serious Drawings- Marc Johns

Just looking back at our old blog posts and I'm surprised we haven't blogged about Marc Johns before. Love his work, Johns uses ink and watercolours to create his quirky drawings. I've got his "Beard Bird" hanging happily on my wall,  you can buy one of your very own prints here. x mel
