I've always been a big fan of the work of Jesica Rose from Vol25 fame. I have a few of her prints in my home, and on my photo wall, but her new vintage inspired science posters have made me really excited!
I'm planning a big new redo of my lounge room, taking away some of the frilly girliness, and changing it to a bit more industrial vibe. One of these posters will fit right in.
I'm struggling to pick my favourite, but I think it's the top butterflies one. What's your favourite?

My friend Shaun is one of those fabulous people who loves food and coffee. I mean L O V E S it. He's an incredible cook and I'm pretty lucky that he cooks for me fairly often. When his birthday came around late last year I wanted to find him the perfect gift. Cue...Kylie spending hours spent on Etsy.
Well, Artet Manufacture came to the party. I finally stumbled upon these divine handcrafted ceramic espresso cups. BINGO. I kept looking around as they're not cheap - but they were one of those things I just could not get out of my mind. You know that feeling? Nothing else will live up to what you've found. I was so happy when they finally arrived. They really were everything I'd hoped for and more.

Hello! Oh my goodness. I've been away from this blog for 18 months, and am amazed to see people still leaving such lovely comments. I figured I should at least try and start posting again.
So...how huge has Pinterest become in the last year or so? Of course I'm on there, wasting so much time but I get so inspired and want to make everything! Do you have the same problem? If you want to follow my boards you can find me here.
Anyway, thought I'd just leave you with this cute picture from Etsy seller Gayana, and hopefully I'll be back soon with some more inspiration and ideas of what I've done around the place.
Love Kylie xx

Happy Monday! Well, Monday is almost over for me thank goodness, but happy Monday none the less. It's going to be a pretty big week for me this week, so not sure if I'll be around much. My work runs an annual Colour Your World Conference, which starts this Thursday so I'll be at that, I can't wait! Lots of girliness, creativity and fun.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this loveliness recently, so thought I'd let you see it as well. Aren't these pictures by Marmee Craft just delightful? I like a bit of whimsy every now and then.

Today is Australia Day, and days like this make me so happy to be Australian. We really are the 'lucky country' in so many ways. Lots of space, amazing weather, stunning beaches and the coolest people on earth, so happy Australia Day to my Aussie friends.
Anyway, in honour of this day that we get off work to basically do nothing but have a BBQ with friends and hang at the beach being 'straylian I thought I would do a round up of some of my favourite little Aussie Etsy shops. Ready? Here we go.
Percy Handmade is based in our nations capital, Canberra! With lots of vintage style brooches, clutches to die for and more, it's just all too lovely.
Susannah Tucker; aren't these photos just the most lovely things? I have the butterfly print on my wish list. Etsy | Blog
Wilkintie is from lovely Melbourne and has a cute little range of letterpress prints. I have a big crush on anything letterpress right now!
The Love Shop. Oh, I just love the name! Let alone the gorgeous prints.
Lucky last is Lovely Sweet William, oh lovely sweet prints!! Another shop from Melbourne, and I do hate to admit it being from Sydney, but they do have a lot of good stuff down there! Etsy | Blog | Flickr

In the insanity of this season, oh, this was something lovely to stumble on very early thismorning! Via Creature Comforts, I came accross Clare Owen Illustration. Beautiful dreamy pictures, it's like it's soothing for my soul or something.
Oh, just so sweet and lovely. I'm really hoping she includes the dream bike picture in her store soon, it will be perfect for the art wall I'm planning!
For more Clare Owen goodness, check out her Flickr | Blog | Site | Etsy

Can anyone else believe how close we're getting to Christmas? We've been hanging decorations up at work the past two days, all the departments at the church are competing against each other for the best decorations. The downside would be that the winners have to host the entire staff (about 200 at this site) for afternoon tea. Still...hoping we win!
Anyway, apart from Christmas, I found Amor Designs today. Another Australian based shop which I always love, selling French and shabby chic items, some other things I always love! Go and have a little look see, and if you spend $200 you'll get a free cushion cover!

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.

I found these fabulous cards via the SCOOP blog, and think they are just fantastic! From Etsy seller Squirrel In The Attic. Cute, hey?
I can see myself buying the Hey Miss or Hey Lady cards for my girlfriends; it's such a lovely invitation to an afternoon tea or picnic on a sunny day.
