Brilliant Idea

Run out of places to put your pretty jewelery? Need space to display a few quirky odds and ends? Or just have on old (and awesome) tennis racquet lying around? Why not hang it up and put it to good use like Maike (of love made me do it and we love pictures).

Random but Lovely

I am feeling lousy. Its a combination of annoying and persistent flu symptoms and what I like to call 'swamp-head', you know... that feeling where you have hundreds of thoughts running through your mind, but you can't seem to focus on a single one, or you are trying to focus on a single thing/task/feeling and loads of thoughts flood in and take over? Its chaos in there.

To balance out the craziness I thought I would share some random but lovely things with you.

Have you ever heard of heat-reactive paint/wallpaper? No? Well, me neither.

Then this would be perfect for you!

These dangling basket nests, called NESTRESTS, are perfect for "relaxation, meditation and open-air conversations"

Love inspiring quotes and clever typography and design. Then go here and here. Here is one of my favourites... and another one here and here.

Also this one:


And this one:

(Yes- the whole poem is there)

And to finish things off (and add a little sweet romance to this random post)- a 'shy' loveletter:

Lucky No. 9

I recently stumbled across Lucky No. 9, a design studio that creates the most gorgeous wedding stationery, branded items and even does event styling. 

I am in love! You have to (HAVE TO) look at the site here. They even have a blog with DIY projects and downloads.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!
