All Things Lovely

Painted White

I'm sure many of you may have been introduced to this Etsy shop today, as Alice is Etsy's featured seller, but her work is just so gorgeous I thought I'd have to include it on my blog. Painted White is such a beautiful selection of vintage finds and handmade treasures. I am just in white heaven!

 

 
Why not take a look at Painted White, and Alice's beautiful blog. 

Christmas With Donna Hay

It's a very Christmassy week this week, isn't it? Sorry for the overload!

I went to Donna Hay's General Store again last weekend and had another wonderful time. It really is a beautiful store so if you're in Sydney, take a trip to Woollahra and have a look. Actually, all of Woollahra is worth having a look at!

They kindly let me take some photos of the Christmas window displays, I really loved all the blue and white, just so fresh and beautiful.

  

Velvet Crumbs

My wonderful friend Brett has decided to restart his blog, Velvet Crumbs, named after his signature dish, Red Velvet Cake. Brett is an amazing cook and so he shares beautiful recipes, and the outcomes with us.

One of them is this gorgeous French Apple Tart...yum! I think I will have to drop in around dinner time one night.

Pop over and have a look, no doubt he'll be adding more delicious recipes in the coming days.
 

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like An Anthropologie Christmas

Is anyone else getting excited about Christmas? This year I am determined to be better than last year! I'd just started a new job and life was insane - I think I was lucky to actually get a tree up. This year I feel more organised, I'm starting to think about it and looking forward to it.

 
Today I had a look a look at Anthropologie at some of their Christmas decor. So, so much that I'd like! What do you love?

Letters Lubell

I received an email this week letting me know about the launch of Letters Lubell, and once I opened it and saw the beautiful eco chic cards and other stationery I knew I had to share.

The new line of letterpress products includes letterpress notebooks, note cards, recipe cards, gift tags and message cards.

 
Hand-drawn designs and graphics are inspired by everything - think bold Mexican textiles, lush fruits and downy feathers and are printed with soy-based inks on museum quality 100% recycled cotton paper stock. 

There's also some gorgeous inspriation images so you can see the design process through from seeing some fabric to seeing that on paper...gorgeous! 

We're All In This Together

I mentioned this a little while ago, but my work/church has a movie coming out TODAY in the US and in the following weeks for the rest of the world.

We're All In This Together follows Hillsong United on their tours and highlights some of the problems in the world today, I think it's going to be really impacting.

It's one night only, so head off and see it!

To Dry For

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Mine was filled with lots of time with friends which just makes everything better.

Thought I'd start this week with some lovely tea towels. I found out about To Dry For via Holly at Decor8, and now I want to go shopping mad. I really love tea towels, especially since I don't have a dishwasher and so I actually need them. I probably don't need as many as I'd likle to go and buy though, so perhaps all my friends are now about to get hit with tea towels for Christmas presents! And the bonus....they ship worldwide!
