Thursday Etsy Finds

With the festive season gearing up I thought I'd have a little Christmas focus with my Thursday Etsy Finds today... and in true Kelly fashion I thought I'd go a little rustic. I adore all things earthy and natural and I couldn't go past these gorgeous Christmas decorations made from hessian and jute (also known as burlap). The wreath of twigs reminded me of my own that I put on our front door every year. I love an understated wreath and I can't wait until December 1st when ours will go up. December 1 is the tradition in our household for putting up the Christmas tree. Do you have any Christmas traditions when it comes to decorating?

Quick hello

I have had a sick little munchkin this week and so haven't achieved a lot... blog posts included, so this is a quick one just to say hello. I thought last night that I never shared the bunting I completed for our gorgeous friend little Lucy after mentioning I had bought the material a few months ago. My goodness time flies. It's June tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of your week. I have a Social Media course today. Should be fun. 

Thea & Sami

I can't believe it has taken me a few months to checkout a website recommended in the January edition of Home Beautiful. Thea & Sami is now my new favourite fabric store. I haven't been able to stop looking at the website. Textile designer Thea Samios' designs are just gorgeous, printed on beautiful natural linen and cottons. They are of lots of pretty things... flowers, cottage gardens, butterflies, peacocks, and made into cushions, tea towels, lampshades, napkins, armchairs or by the metre. I wish I had the budget to buy metres of this fabric. I would absolutely love to put linen curtains up in my lounge room. For the moment though I am going to settle for a metre of Cottage Garden red or maybe crème to cover the lid of my daughter's toy box... and perhaps a Butterflies tea towel to make into a cushion. Hmmm hard to stop there though. Where's my willpower?...

Bunting complete

I mentioned the other day how I was going to make a party bunting, and I am happy to report that it is complete and I LOVE IT! I am now inspired and want to make another one for my little friend Lucy. I went to our local fabric store The Patchwork Apple this morning and bought some more gorgeous material, so watch this space.

Cloth Fabric Bed Linen

Oh my goodness! I am extremely excited right now. Cloth Fabric have introduced a bed linen range made out of their stunning prints, printed on unbleached linen cotton. They have collaborated with Linenhouse and I just got off the phone to the store and you can purchase it direct from them in Sydney, or the range will also be available in Myer. I am still in love with Rough Rose... I wonder if I can convince hubby to have it in the bedroom. I'll do my best.
