I recently stumbled across the artwork of Erica-Lynn Huberty whose current series of textiles and embroidery draws on “naturalist imagery, 16th and 17th Century Dutch and Flemish art, and the idea of traditional “women’s work”— the creation of practical and beautiful works with textiles and hand-sewing.”  Love it.

Click here to see more of Erica-Lynn’s work, and here to read more about her. I also found that her home was featured on design*sponge last year, click here to have a sneak peek of her gorgeous and humble home in the hamptons.

Last weekend I got lost in the world of Jim Denevan –  again –  but this time, in Siberia, via  The Anthropologist.  And although I was intrigued by the art, I became more intrigued by the journey and the landscape.  The stories told by each of the crew members is incredibly interesting, and learning about the pitfalls and the highs they experienced throughout the project was fascinating. The Anthropologist is an amazing website, and the way this special series of stories is put together is really special. Enjoy.

The other day, my dear friend Kylie (a.k.a paperboat press) sent me a photo of the above page spread taken from the june/july issue of  elle interiør norway which she’d just received a copy of in the mail. To her surprise, there on the page was not only a pic of one of her gorgeous ceramic tags (which I have dotted around my little boat) but also my book, right next to her work. How fabulous is that! Two Australians, two dear friends, side by side amongst the pages of a beautiful norwegian interior magazine. Thank you, elle interiør norway.

Just wanted to pop my head into the (blog)house for a moment to let you know that designer Anne Xiradakis has organised another fab café éphémère in the 19th arrondisment of Paris this weekend, along with furniture designer Pierre Hourquet, and chef Delphine Zampetti.
