very favourite 2012 calendar!

Can you believe it is New Years Eve tonight! Where did the year go? My sister recently introduced me to this beautiful stationery company Linda & Harriett and I am in love with their 2012 letterpress calendar - such lovely design and colour combinations!

the magical work of helen musselwhite

I have long been a fan of the amazingly talented Helen Musselwhite. She has such a whimsical fairytale quality to her work that I just love. And the good news is, if your budget doesn't stretch to an original artwork, you can buy her cute owl print from Ikea - yay!

all I want for christmas...

Number one on my christmas wish list is this beautiful sofa by Doshi Levien for Moroso. I have coveted it for years now but it never seems to find its way into my christmas stocking!

I am in love with: rob ryan

Rob Ryan is my absolute favourite illustrator and something about his work always makes me feel happy, so in keeping with the festive spirit I thought I would share some of the love.
