here are a few new things in.....
for anyone who bakes, these measuring cups are about the best I've ever seen.....
this lovely 'tea for 2' is by japanese designer shinzi katoh
this new version of the old 'bird vases' I love, perfect for sprigs from your garden
all you need to compliment these apple and pears plates is a fondue set!

mags & papers
In todays Sunday Age M magazine there was a few pieces from douglas & hope,
cushions, wild wood weaving ball and nest and the bell jar with fake birds....
today I discovered this little photo in Elle Decoration UK, May issue, and was most surprised,
this is my kitchen sink at my house in Castlemaine, it's a page about patchwork, and they mention the tiles,
this photo was taken a few years ago by a german guy, Bernd Opitz
more photos are about to be published in a dutch magazine, so when it arrives I will post them up....

Toogood
when I lived in London way back in 1991/92, I lived right on Portobello Market,
and I loved it,
2nd hand clothes on Fridays, the full market on Saturdays,
bric a brac under the fly over on Sundays and fruit and veg every day of the week,
it really is a shame Melbourne doesn't have the equivalent,
so when I read about the new comme des garcons shoe shop designed by Faye Toogood at the Dover Street market,
it really did make me wish I lived there still, and I could just pop by and have a look....
Faye is of 'world of Interiors' fame, and I did meet her once, she is particularly lovely....

flown away
In this months issue of Melbourne magazine, free with the Age,
our flocked flying birds are featured,
and due to an amazing response, we have now completely sold out,
which is a bit of a shame as they have been a douglas & hope staple for quite a few years now,
and will most probably not be made again,
if you are lucky enough to own a set, enjoy....

eiderdowns
when I was little, my nana had a gorgeous gold silk eiderdown on her bed,
I had never seen anything like it, she was English and I am assuming brought it with her from England.
this is why I have always done the douglas & hope eiderdowns,
we have some new ones in the store now........

word of mouth
I went to the opening of this great new store called 'word of mouth'
at 9 Jl Kunti Arcade shop, Seminyak. Bali.
this is an egg coffee table, with moveable yolk to hide your mags away....
I love this perspex star chair,
and this nest filled with soft eggs is brilliant, I just wish my house was large enough to fit one in!!

bangkok
I think I am the last person in Australia to discover the madness of Bangkok.
here is a little look at my visit....
buddhist shrine in the middle of a market....
I love this little shrine, its almost like a barbie buddhist temple, complete with people....
this fantastic store is called 'it's happened in a closet' and is filled with fashion, accessories and interesting curios, well worth a look, 266/3 siamsquare soi 3. patumwan. bangkok.
this lovely mural is from a store called "issue" and is just a few doors down from it's happened in a closet
