Illustrator Luci Everett

This work is so inspiring, from Luci Everett based in Melbourne Australia. The colours are eyecatching and the designs fresh....see her blog http://www.happinessetc.blogspot.com/.
Watercolours in illustrations are so on trend at the moment, classic and calm....I guess in line with all that is handmade and vintage. LOVE these....and somehow relate to that feeling the girl might be having with her head up the stigma of an enormous bloom!!

These event posters she creates are eye catching, why dont more events spend just a little more time creating something attractive and different, surely they would help pull in the crowds.

Lucky Luci to have such talent and flair....and good on her for using it x

Murano Lamps

I have an obsession lately, trawling markets and ebay looking for glass Murano lamp bases.
Murano is an tiny island off the coast of Venice, famous for its glass. I went to Rozelle Market in Sydney yesterday hoping to find my pair, there were one or two there but werent quite right....

They are so elegant and add a dash of colour with their organic and individual shapes.

Here are some of the lamps that have caught my eye...they sell on ebay from about GBP 30, not bad really and better than a new lamp in my opinion!

Beautiful and the kind of thing I think you'd always find a spot for and keep forever....
