Great Discovery in Notting Hill

Recent renovation work at London's Notting Hill Gate tube station has uncovered a fantastic collection of original 1950's advertising posters. The posters are in non-public areas and date from c1956 - 1959. Situated in an old lift passageway the posters were hidden when the station's lifts were removed and replaced by escalators. What a find!

All photos are via London Underground and can be seen at Mike Ashworth's Flickr account (he is the Design and Heritage Manager at London Underground)

The Temple and RAA Galleries, Queensland

Here is another one of our gorgeous stockists - The Temple and RAA Galleries in Cairns and Palm Cove. Marnie, the owner of The Temple and RAA told us this about her Galleries.


"Our aim is to create a Gallery Lifestyle shop that when entering is like going on a journey. We want our customers to be inspired and excited. As they peruse the Gallery, the colour, art and objects take you to a different place and away from the stresses in life. We aim to support fair trade products, Local and Australian made, unusual hand made products that have integrity and something special about them. We endeavour to be different and have items that are not mass produced and found in all the usual stores. We are an Artist run business and aesthetics are important to us it is all about beauty and uniqueness."

 Let us and Marnie know if you manage a visit.

What A Perfect Day

We woke up to a beautiful autumn day and decided to take full advantage of the glorious weather with a photo shoot on the beach. We think the final results are going to be just stunning.

Even Jake the dog took part!

From Paris to Provence - inspirational France

A recent trip to France was the main inspiration for our new collection.

Paris - the light on ancient buildings, the juxtaposition of old and new, classic and quirky and the appreciation of  style and beauty. The rustic charm of the French countryside with it's stunning buildings, green fields and wild flowers provided the perfect contrast.

Grab yourself a little bit of your own French inspiration at the up and coming Paris to Provence expo at the beautiful and historic Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne on Saturday 29 May. Described as a Tour of France at the Convent the event will host over 50 exhibitors - French wine and food, homewares, gifts and clothes and lifestyle organisations will all on be show along with some French inspired Leoni & Vonk jewellery!
