Ventured a little father afield this week to Brunswick and picked up these two bright and bold designs. Also had a quiet little solo lunch at Ray's, perfect coffee and a delicious little tomato, pesto, bocconcini pide.

Sydney

2011-04-13T21:28:00.001+10:00

Feels like forever ago that I was in Sydney, it was only in February. Where is this year going? I had a lovely time working at the Trade Show, meeting lots of interesting people. It's great to be a part of the other side of the business, where I am able to meet the people that love our product, stock it in their stores, have customers who love our product and continue to come back for more. It's what makes it all worthwhile and putting faces to names and hearing stories about people who use our cards and enjoy them, makes the business worth doing.

I was also able to catch up with old, special friends and sample some of the delights of the Sydney restaurant scene. In 5 days I managed here, here and here. I was so, so spoilt! I would highly recommend any of them. I was also lucky to spend a few solitary hours at the Annie Lebovitz exhibition at the MCA. A truly expressive and moving body of work. A must see in Sydney and only on until 26 April.

We found from the Sydney Trade show that so many people are asking for birds and owls. We don't have any in our range any more, so it was a good excuse to undertake some serious fabric consulation and purchase some. How gorgeous is this? Should be available in greeting cards in the next 3 months.

Missing Maya

I miss my sister.

I miss her baby girl.

I miss the touch.

I miss the day to day.

I miss the comfortable silence.

I miss sharing a meal, a cup of tea.

I miss helping her.

I miss her helping.

I miss laughing.

I miss you.

I'm missing alot.

Vue de Monde

2011-03-12T21:34:00.018+11:00

No image can do this post justice.
I was lucky enough to spend an evening at Vue de Monde.

It was the most amazing, theatrical dining experience of my life.

The service was incredibly attentive yet relaxed and casual.

The food was a culinary journey to all corners of the earth.

The company was special, relaxed and sexy.

We were given a breakfast bag to take home with brioche, jam, museli & loose leaf tea.

And then a copy of our menu was forwarded to us on the following Monday. If you are a wine and food lover (or crazy nut!)... and have the time....see below & swoon.... :)
