I crave tomatoes ....

Bronze Tomato by Amy Goldman

No, I'm not pregnant...I'm just really crazy about Amy Goldmans cast bronze heirloom vegetables! Isn't it delicious?

I love

         

This lamp from City Foundry viaV&M has mesmorised me for some time now... What do you think of industrial furniture and elements in interiors? I love the raw feel to it, and would like to incorporate more of it in my own home.

I'm on vacation

I'm on vacation for the next two weeks, but fear not, I've asked some of my favorite bloggers to guest post here while I'm away! So it will be plenty to look forward to! They have my highest trust, so I have no idea what they'll write about, but knowing them, I know it will be super stylish! :-)

I had my last day at work on Friday, and on the 11th of August I'll start my new job, buying flowers ;-) After spending 6 years at the same company it was weird saying goodbye to all my good colleagues, but for me it was definitly the time to make a change over to something I'm truly passionate about .-)

I'm now busy packing, and planning my holiday wardrobe. I'm not leaving before tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be around until then, but quite busy preparing for my trip. Leaving everything till the last minutes means I'm actually doing my laundery now, ironing, cleaning the house, applying self tan lotion (Don't want to look like I've spent the past 7 months, blogging in front of my computer....) and giving myself a manicue and pedicure ...all at the same time :-)

I wish you all a delightful summer, and I'm looking forward to "see" you all when I get back .-) I'm gonna miss you!!

The Minicing Mockingbird

On my daily journey through the internet I stumbled across the talented, and somewhat quirky, LA based artist Matt Adrian of The Minicing  Mockingbird. He is so talented at capturing different birds on his canvas, and he also manages to give them personality. His art really makes me smile, and considering the quirky names of his artwork, having those on my wall would certainly put a big grin on my face!

Some of his birds are more dark, and quite disturbing, especially those on his rectangle magnets. I just LOVE those weird quotes! You have to check them out on his ETSY shop. Check out his Troubled Birds publications! I'm just adding the artist own descriptions on this ""A GUIDE TO TROUBLED BIRDS: VOLUME TWO: FURTHER STUDIES IN NATURAL TENDENCIES TOWARD JACKASSERY IN FEATHERED SPECIES" is 28 pages long, adding four pages of quality, horrible birds and extra charts and "fun facts"" That kind of says it all! Intrigued? Go visit The Minicing Mockingbird's Blog

Ink Vanilla

I just have to tell you about a wonderful, talented artist June Parrish Cookson of InkVanilla! Her blog is a new favourite of mine, her illustrations are amazing and I can not wait for her store Junes Melange to open! Entering Junes world feels like entering into an old enchanted world were everything is sprinkeled with magic dust, even her cat Coco (aka. the Wise One) seems to be touched by it (I'm sure that cat speaks, or transforms herself into a princess or something ;-))

I'm not quite sure what label to put on June, actually I'm quite sure its not possible with this woman, as she is a super stylish, mixed media artist/Illustrator/Graphic Designer/Cartoonist/Muralist/ Decorative Painter (And I'm adding Interior Decorator as well, and if you've seen her Crafts room you'll agree!) and the list goes on! Is it anything this woman can not do?!

It is something so calm, timeless and ethereal about both Junes work and decorating style. I'm just in love with Junes work, and I'm sure you'll be as well! So get yourself over there ;-)!!

Thanks to Jennifer for letting me use her images!

Oh gosh! So many wonderful artist out there! I could go on forever!! But this is my last post on minature cuteness, and I'm finishing off with an explosion of a creative artist; Jennifer Murphy! Jennifer has got this stuff fed into her since she was a baby, as her mother is the artist behind Murphy Bears. I'm totally in love with the beautiful, vintage aesthetics of Jennifers minatures, and her website is exceptionally cute! You'll even find Instructions on how to make some of these beauties! I should definitly give it a try during easter!! :-)

   

At Bayberry Cove you'll find a liscensed collection of cuteness from Jennifer! (Ps! Bayberry Cove is a must for stunning holiday decor, and they ship internationally :-))

Jenn Dochertys needle-felted critters are absolutly divine! I can not belive how she forms wool into these cute creatures! I found Jenn on Flickr, and I later discovered that she has been on the Martha Stewart show. I cannot wait for it to be aired here! You can read more about Jenn on her blog and her website, and if you hurry you might even pick up one of her beauties on Ebay!

Jenns book "Sweet Needle Felts" came out two days ago! And I'm certainly getting a copy!
