On the wall...

Little bits of wall that I haven't shared before...

Just a peppering of snow left here. Inside is nice and toasty though...I am not in the mood to venture out! Not at all.

Some recent blog discoveries...toujours dimanche :: Ruby Gatta  - so good. {I can't remember who I found them through, so I eager I was to bookmark! ;)}...

Some other good things 'on the wall' - Pantry door :: in white :: untitled :: For lines and shapes Vol. 5 :: the last first day of school 

Good day to all! xo

White...

Woke up to white today...and it steadily snowed throughout the day, blanketing everything and muffling noise. Very pretty indeed {our first real snow for years!}...I stayed indoors, kept warm and worked...just peeking outside every now and then to watch the progress.

I've been processing more orders from the sale today {thank you!}...working on some pieces going to a photo shoot, and of course, still keying information for taxes! gah. Cross-eyed is the understatement of the year...!

Some white and wintry fickr faves:: untitled :: untitled :: All Vitt - all white :: Most people are other people :: untitled :: untitled 

{Also...totally fascinated by the sand-dollars I found in SF...never heard of them before...so pretty!!} 

Stay warm everyone! xo

Sundays...

I like them. A lot. For me, they are all about long lies...fixing a nice brunch upon waking and then loafing. Supping cup after cup of tea, preferably Assam and in my favourite denby cup...

Question : How on earth did it get to be February?!! wow.

...do you remember I was talking way back when about re-covering my sofa? Well, this is the temporary {or not so temporary, because I rather like it} fix...nice throw from ikea and a ton of big soft cushions. Hides a multitude of sins ;) Good for snuggling into, anyway...

Right, one more cup for me and then off to deal with the tax return. Wish me luck!

Happy Sunday all, xo

p.s. As always check out the update over at Post Secret {another Sunday ritual}...

p.p.s. Thanks so much for all your orders so far - the SALE is still going strong! :)

p.p.p.s. Listen to this, right now...I am. xo

In Stock SALE...

Hello everyone - as promised, I have done my sums, totted up the stock...and so, hereby launch the 25% off 'In Stock SALE'...

Click HERE to shop the category, where everything is marked down accordingly {normal price noted in the listing for each}...

There are VERY limited numbers of the designs in stock - most only one or two of each...so I have switched on the inventory bars to help show you how many are in stock!! 

All items ready to ship - so *perfect* for Valentines Day or just as a new year treat!

Enjoy!!! xoxo

p.s. - MANY thanks to Ryan at DesireLines who produced the snazzy imagery above. Photoshop wasn't playing for me, so I pulled in a real wizard to help with the job! ;)

Gathering...

Despite it being 'Winter' in California...it was more like an early, mild Autumn from the point of view of the plant-life. I managed to find these amazing leaves, and got pressing. I am imagining very large, very delicate brooch forms...the red one, pierced from sheet metal - the brown ones, perhaps carved forms...?

I think I will make those for an exhibition I have coming up in early summer...! But my mind is whirring on them now...

This month is speeding by! January is supposed to be slow and sleepy...no such thing on the to-do front...just me that's a little slow and sleepy. I think I want to hibernate ;)

Hopefully kicking off my little sale tomorrow - in time for lurve day...so stay tuned for that. I'd better get back to the bench and catch up some, the day is already running away from me.

Back soon, have a good one! xo

Hello to you, and to 2009...

...2009. More than half way through month one, no less. Who would have thought?

I had a fantastic vacation in America, staying with my brother and sister-in-law {Sacramento and some time in San Francisco}...via Lake Tahoe {snow on the beach is a wonder, who knew?}...*a few snaps from the trip above*...

I even had the pleasure of meeting the divine Diana at Tartine for tea whilst in SF...good times!!

So. 2009. Three years at this blogging lark - I can hardly believe it! I was speaking to someone recently who remarked that *no one* can be THAT interesting...and, laughing, I had to agree with him ;)) I really am very privileged to have people stop by and read my ramblings and continue to care to peek at the happenings from the workbench...so, truly, thank you.

Now that I am back, I had better give you a wee run down of what to expect from me in 2009, in the coming weeks, at least...for starters, there will be a sale in the shop ahead of Valentines Day {starting this week, hopefully}!! I have had stock come into the studio from a Christmas show, and so...will be doing a RTS {ready to ship} sale on those items - including some bigger pieces too, so keep your eyes peeled if you are in the market for a treat...!!

;)

Happy Monday everyone, and well, Happy New Year. Let's make it a good one!!

love to all, xo.

Merry Merry...

Hello everyone...just stopping in, after what seems like a mammoth break - and a crazy busy few weeks finishing up work! I am in California now visiting my brother {for the first time in 4 years!} and my lovely sister in law...enjoying different horizons and {sort of} blue skies...

I just wanted to wish everyone the most wonderfully Merry Christmas - thinking of you all, friends, and hoping you are all having, and have had, a truly lovely day with family and friends...

Enjoy your loved ones and appreciate all the good things you have in your life. Tis the time of year to remember...and to focus on that above all else.

lots of love to all,

xo
