Yesterday afternoon, I launched a Spring Bonza sale on the That Vintage Imprinted Clay Earrings - in designs that aren't available in stores or online! Boy, it was one heck of a bonza, the different colour and print combination sets got snapped up super duper fast!
There are only two sets remaining, so I decided to put them into the Etsy store and see what happens... if they get snapped up relatively quickly, I might bring back the Bonza for another event!
It is so nice to be working with colour again, now that the winter blues are subsiding...
I love surprises.
I love beautiful, pretty, special surprises!
The above image was exactly that - a beautiful surprise that landed in my inbox from the talented Lisa Kuilenburg of LisaK Photography.
Do you remember the Autumn photo shoot that Lisa did for That Vintage? Well, it is pretty obvious to me that Lisa has a personal soft spot for That Vintage - and I love that she loves That Vintage so much!
Yesterday, Lisa felt inspired by the new Spring blossoms that are beginning to bloom, so she stepped outside to take some photographs and this was one that she snapped.
So beautiful!
One
hot trend for SS14 is anything tropical, tropicana... and with each day
going by, Spring seems to be creeping on in at full pelt - it will only
be a matter of time before we sit and swelter through Summer!
If
you want to jump on the tropical bandwagon but need a break from all
things fluorescent, check out the That Vintage Fern Earrings
Well... as I opened up the blog to begin writing this entry, the view outside looked like a bright "Spring" day, but as soon as I began typing, the clouds came over and the idea of Spring is once again, pushed away.
Being in the thick of winter, sometimes you can find yourself in a little bit of a stinky funk. The type of stinky funk that rains on your normal happy parade full of energy, inspiration and all things happy. I love winter, I love the cooler weather, wearing knits, snuggling under warm blankets with my kitty and sipping cup after cup of tea.
But I am well and truly ready for Spring and all the goodness it brings.
The new.
The fresh.
The bright.
As I wrap up some orders from this weekend, I notice my own colour palate has begun to change - bold snaps of hot pink and sun-shining yellow have drawn me towards them, leaving the muted grey and brown tones behind.
Change is coming... bring it!
Happy Sunday everyone x
It is true about what they say when it comes to the weather in Tasmania and in particular Launceston.
Jacket on, jacket off, jacket on, jacket off.
Today I had to run a few errands in town but I also stopped off in the beautiful Princess Square park to soak up the fresh air and sit in peace for a moment or two.
Walking to the park, there was warmth from the sunshine and beads of sweat were starting to form on my skin, but once I sat down and started to take in the surrounds, the moody grey clouds closed in and all of a sudden, this day of Spring had morphed into a day reminiscent of Autumn.
Bathing in the sunshine on a beautiful Spring morning.
My sweet, old kitty Blossom sure has the life.
A little eye-candy for you of a trip to the north west coast of Tasmania, namely the town of Penguin to visit the wonderful store of Nest.
Worth the drive.
It was truly heavenly!
