colour therapy

Yes I'm back....and full of energy, ready to take on 'the silly season' after yet another really fabulous time in Bali. Not everyones favourite holiday destination, but thats fine (each to their own). I have been visiting there since the seventies and have seen many changes in the past thirty or so years. I have had many a great family holiday there and was not dissapointed once again!


What really stuck in my mind this trip was how colouful Bali is - I realised whilst away that I have become quite 'beige' lately and it occured to me it that I am so ready for a bit of colour......these photos were all taken very early on the same morning - one of the rare mornings I actually took my iPhone with me and will be an inspiration (colour therapy) for me to add a bit of colour into my life!!!

smelling the roses

I'm taking a two week break. It's time for me to take a little time off to 'smell the roses'.

We have now received our final summer 'all for kat' (http://www.kittykatdesign.com.au/) we are currently well stocked (except for the pieces I will be taking away with me)!

Looking forward to a little R& R and of course as always I will be on the lookout for some new treasures to ship back home.

a creative duo

It must be a couple of months ago now that our warehouse and its contents was used by two very talented girls for a photographic shoot. Although they are both very busy, thay found time to come together to produce a collection of beautiful imagery which they passed on to me only recently. I was absolutely blown away by their work. It made me fall in love all over again with some of our gorgeous old pieces.

Styling by Paige Anderson and photography by Tess Kelly. I would be only too happy to pass on their information to anyone wanting to contact these up and coming creatives!
