Daily Telegraph Home - Sweets Workshop

Hi!

So Yesterday I was looking through the Daily Telegraph 'Home' section and guess what.. I saw my  Stitchester Church ' St Needles' soft sculpture and a monochrome heart cushion in an article on the awesome Sweets Workshop, the fabulous shop and one of my stockists in Summer Hill.

How exciting,  I think that's my first piece of official press.... I am so happy to have been included in the list of names Artists. Even if they spelt my name wrong... Kathy Dee.... Oh well!

I love The Sweets Workshop, not only are Emma and John really lovely and talented Artists themselves, the shop is full of gorgeous things and it's a pleasure to visit to get something really special. So well done guys!

Here is the article:

I can't make it any bigger as things get in the way! But I do get listed as one of the artists there.

I just wanted to share this!

Stampel - Wooden Bright Delight

Mondays are such dull days, often busy but I feel they need brightening with something fun!

Stampel is an amazing Design company based in Bendigo, Victoria. I have been a fan of for a while now so thought it was about time I shared the goodness. It is the design product of Andrea and Stampel is the label name she works under. It is Swedish for stamp, how cool is that?! She came to have that name after a trip to Japan and a wood block printing obsession, and her love for Swedish design [ which I understand and share]

Her work is bright, bold and the below has a fantastic 80's colour and pattern theme which is a personal fave of mine! No wonder I love it all. With a background in Textiles you can see where she her inspiration and skills from.

She likes to work with reclaimed materials and Sustainability is very important. Eco friendly and  all round awesome I'd say.

Her blog can be found here

Enjoy the bright and wonderful delights below: I must say I think I would like a little piece of everything! Am loving the wall jewellery hangers.

Happy Love Day

Happy Valentines!

A ridiculous day I agree but I can hardly let the day go by with sharing images of hearts, Love and all things Pink and Red, only my favourite colour combination. Sickening I am aware but at least I am not being gushy and sharing pictures of what I have received [ which will be nothing!]

So I hope your day is full of pretty things or if not enjoy these....

Stylists Garage Sale.

Hello and Happy Tuesday.
 

So I thought I would share my thrifty finds from the weekend that was...
 

This weekend there was a rather epic Stylists Garage sale hosted by the wonderful Megan morton at The School It coincided with Koskela 1st Birthday Party and made for a weekend of snow cones, fun and for me shopping...
 

There were some great stalls there with a mix of interiors, props, Artwork and fabrics from awesome design and styling peeps including.. Rachel Castle Sunday Collector
Jason Grant Tamara Maynes Sophie The Lydia Jane Saunders Heidi Moore -Gill and of course Megan herself.
 

Over the 2 days I picked up some real treasures including a glass bell jar, cake stand and Lolly jar.. A set of wooden houses, a vintage juice jug, leather scraps,  vintage puzzle, a fascinator, 5 pineapple hangers and a heart shaped pink mixing bowl!
 

I am now re-arranging to fit things in.. I should have had a stall instead of going to it...
 

Did you have a weekend of thrifting? What treats did you find?

Here is what I found:
