As I get deeper and deeper into the heart of paris, I am finding beauty in the most unexpected places. I adore the colour of this wall, and I’m not sure how well it translates in a photograph but while I was out walking around it just appeared before my eyes, and took my breath away…

Sorry for my lack of posts while I’ve been in Paris this time around. But the good news is that I have managed to capture a couple of lovely soundscapes, which I really hope you will like! I shall post them next week.

à bientot! xx

You may have noticed it’s been another busy couple of weeks for me, and tonight I am back to Paris for the coming few days for work. If you are dying to know what I am up to I promise all will be revealed very soon! I will try to post a photo a day like I did last time, and I also hope to capture a couple of soundscapes for you while there, and will post them next week. à bientot! xx

I get excited about things that may seem rather unexciting to others. Like this new servingware range from Wheel & Barrow Homewares that has me smiling…

Why, you may ask? Well, there is just one simple reason:

This new range is made from the fabulously renewable natural material of bamboo and degrades within a year of it being tossed away, making it pollution-less. Yep, this is all it takes for me to get very, very excited.

Wheel & Barrow has been one of my favourite stores for sourcing servingware while I’ve been styling in Sydney over the last few years. So I’m thrilled to hear they have this new range on their shelves. Bravo Wheel & Barrow!

I am completely smitten with these handmade pocket fairy tales created by the new etsy boutique of Apol Lejano-Massebieau, crafter extraordinaire from la pomme…

..featured above is the story book of Busy Mary from the imagined history collection of stories Apol has written after finding old notes and postcards…

..this one is called Rosenda “who pours two cups of coffee every morning – although one always grew cold – and at dinner she sets out two plates – although one always went back clean into the cupboard”…

..and this one is called Lulu Leloup Turns Blue. How gorgeous! Click here to have a read of all the fairy tales, and have a browse through Apol’s two stores, you will find so much inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s installment of…

I could not bare to leave you with my two disastrous attempts at polaroid any longer so I offer you this – a little vignette of a few of my favourite props at the moment. They’re all French finds, and I love the colour of that café au lait cup, don’t you? I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! px
