abat-jour papel [5] by rie elise larsen
Pretty paper lampshade found on loja de estar, I love the pattern combined with the ribbon tie. The choice for hanging or table top lamp structure is really helpful, I’ve found that’s an option not usually available and one that I usually wish for :)
- beautiful design
I am such a fan (ha ha) of Dyson products. The designs are innovative, functional, and attractive, and they perform so much better than their competitors.

This is just fantastic!
- traffic
Stuck in traffic trying to get out of Brisbane Saturday morning I had some fun with one of the jelly babies we were munching on :)
He looks better at this size.

Mr Clemens’ Better Half by blakophoto
Seeing this photo reminded me of a story told to me by a photographer I know. A couple of years ago he and a friend grew these magnificent handle-bar moustaches for Movember (a fantastic way to raise money for a very worthy cause) and it was all great fun until they were sent together on a serious photo shoot… all ended well but I don’t believe those moustaches lasted very long after the end of November :)
- rainbow house
Rainbow House On Clipper St by PJ Taylor Photo
I wonder what this house is like on the inside, if the owners love of colour has extended to the interior design or if they have kept it clean to enhance the impact of the exterior… Definitely makes me think of the Rainbow Cake I spoke about last month, even the white trims = deliciously thick icing :)
- hanoi rose
While I’m thinking about roses, I wanted to share this photograph I found and favourited on flickr some time ago. Such beautiful colour, light and shape, the composition of this photo really appeals to me.
Surprisingly (I think anyway) for someone who has half an arm tattooed with roses, they are not my favourite flower – not by a long shot in fact. I simply enjoy the way they look, I like images and photographs of them, but as a flower to grow or to receive there are so many other flowers I would prefer. Having said that, Happy Sleepy says in the description of this photo that you can buy these roses for around 60c each… I would go crazy :)
Beautiful photo don’t you agree?
- black rose
I have been looking for some time for a pair of black rose stud earrings, not made from a light weight cheap plastic though, and just the right rose shape and size… I did find perfect red rose earrings, pity about the colour. I love the colour red, it attracts me, but I don’t like to wear it near my face. I have some lovely red earrings I bought a few months ago but I just don’t like the way they look on.
We were looking in an optometrists in the Brisbane Arcade (Queen Street Mall) and I spotted a display of colourful jewellery. We went up to the gallery level and discovered a great collection of resin jewellery in an antique store, including this black rose ring. It’s just perfect for me, I love it :)
- 500 coloured pencils
What a fantastic idea! 25 coloured pencils over 20 months sent straight to your door. I wouldn’t be able to use any of them, a wall of colour would be a dream and I can imagine the feeling of finally completing it after the last lot is sent out. If $33 USD a month for 20 months is not too much of a long term commitment for you I think this would be the perfect Christmas gift for the colour lover in your life.

I love these guys! Just another find that is putting me in the mood to make things…
