materialistic

Images - Materialistic via Finders Keepers

So the moving is almost done. Phew! The husband has the job of cleaning our old rental house since he has the week off, and as I predicted he's hiring someone to "help" him. Ha!

But our new place in West End is lovely. It feels like we live in a fancy hotel. I can't wait to walk to the markets on Saturday morning, and come home for a swim in the lap pool. That's the life!

and furthermore

To add to my week of loving seafoam green - the doily clock. And furthermore.

Clingstone House

Imagine; no lawn, no neighbours, no solicitors, no busy streets!

Clingstone House is a 103-year-old, 10 bedroom mansion with complete surrounding views of Rhode Island's Naragansett Bay owned by Henry Wood. As Darryl Kerrigan's would say "how's the serenity..."

final logo

Ange came over and we finalised our new logo. It will probably make more sense once we write a little description on our new business venture.

w.i.p.

work in progress - new little logo.

Thursday, August 20, 2009

So today is just one of those great days. Nothing out of the ordinary has happened, yet it feels extraordinary.

I thought I’d post a bit of a colour theme that caught my eye recently – sea foam green. Totally reminds me of a wicked Ibanez guitar I saw next to at an antique auction once. It’s a very retro kinda colour that I am digging at the moment.

P.S. Welcome and thanks to my new visitors. Don’t be shy, comment and say hi!

Oooo Vanilla Bug

Oohhh Vanilla Bug. Just adorable. Found at decor8 from daydream lily's guest blog.

There's just so many amazing people in this world.

Happy Friday!

new logo ideas please

I need inspiration for a new logo design - a new business venture based around the idea of an imaginative town (which has a Mishy Lane ;o)

Found at Most Beatiful Darling

Simple - Supermarket Sarah

The clever little Supermarket Sarah has set up a little shop of weird and wonderful things in west London. But if you don't live close by, fear not as she’s made a really great little site quite simply it’s the shop window.

Letters from Lenka & Michael

In April 2009 artists Lenka Clayton & Michael Crowe sent personal letters to all 467 households of Cushendall, UK. It created quite a buzz and I think it's super cute.

Could you send me one?

The Mo... incognito

Back in the day... before moustaches were a kitch trendy fad, I made a logo for my mixed netball team... Exhibit A - the logo.

Yes. It's a potato with a moustache. Cool huh? I know. Anyway. We had these printed on our netball shirts. Exhibit B - the winners.

You can tell it is 'back in the day' from the fashion disaster sunglasses I am wearing. So old school. But that's not the point. THE POINT IS PEOPLE, that I nearly started a trend. I nearly could have made a fortune on Motato merchandise!$!

All I had to do was turn the tache around the other way... perhaps take away the potato, umm... and the name... and ... well ok. It's not nearly as cool as the recent trendy tache at all. But you have to say I was onto something.

Nowdays you can find:
