SUNDAY READING : SWEET PAUL

Sweet paul is an online 'homemade and handmade' foodies mag which contains beautiful food styling and photography, as well as a great mix of content (including this issue's article about using food to dye fabric) and of course delicious recipes! My fave sections for the summer 11 issue have to be the soda shop and summer cake goodies. Definitely put it on your Sunday reading list!

gorgeous cover!

HANDMADE BUY OF THE DAY : ALWAYS ROOM FOR ICE CREAM

So true! (although Id like to extend that to always room for dessert) This quirky art print comes from etsy store Two for Joy, and can be hanging in your kitchen for USD$58. Visit the listing here

Happy Friday!

WHAT A CORKER

I like to think these quirky 'toast it' coasters were the manifestation of a sudden moment of breakfast table inspiration from Brazillian designer Patricia Naves. Unquestionable Funky in use or stored as a loaf of 'cork bread' on your counter top they're sure to be a conversation starter in any kitchen. Get your slice of daily bread from Patricia's design house OITI

HANDMADE BUY OF THE DAY : YOU COMPLETE ME

You are the missing dough from my doughnut...ahhh romance personified!

Sort out your Valentines with this cute card from the PaperMichelle store on Etsy. Completely handmade, hand cut and glued and hand printed! you can get yours for US$4.00 plus shipping here.

I WANT IT NOW : TEA TIME!

Tea-shirts! hilarious love these cool cuties via Yanko Design. They were designed by Soon Mo Kang; very clever, each colour represents a different flavour and they come in that amazing packaging box.

Relaxing in a Tea bath, another super clever and cute tea-bag adaptation, my fave is the fashion crowd and Create your owns but check out more here.

Perfect Chrissy presents for the tea lover in your life? (seen via the violet hours)

PHOTO SHOOT STYLING

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of helping a friend style a photo shoot for her final Honours assessment at QUT.
Shot in natural light with the talent of Nicola Poole behind the lens and the bubbly Gaelen in front, the morning went by quickly without a hitch (but with plenty of tasty breakfast snacks!)
It was nice to work with all the girls including make-up artist Shelley Veitch and I think the shots turned out just as planned...
Here are a couple of images I snapped mid-shoot for you all to get a taste of Miss Emma Price's amazing eye for detail in her pieces .

Aren't they beautiful? For more of Emma's work check out her range Booje stocked in The Tribune on Arthur Street, The Valley. (I will post up some of the final photographs soon)
