Everything at House Industries makes me happy. Especially this cast iron Ampersand that is priced at a modest $250.

I also found these fantastic Alphabet mugs over at Fishs Eddy.

Being an avid lover of type, it’s not surprising to hear just how excited we are that typography is becoming a huge part of our lives. It’s all around us, everywhere we look. From packaging to signage to fabric, we are embracing typography like never before.

Here is some inspiration:

The Manual Co. via Wonderfiles

The Drown Peaks illustration via Monaux

Cream via The Graphic Exchange

Magazine layout via Deanne Cheuk

Urban Type tea towels via Green Olive Textiles

Longs Horseradish via The Dieline

Today, bikes just became cool. I’m so in love with this gorgeous Studine Balloon ladies bicycle by Velorbis that I don’t know what to do with myself. The light grey/silver frame complimented so well by the ivory wheels and not to mention its own custom made wicker basket. Oh lord please, where can I get one from?

Well friends we are just so honoured to see our Valentine’s Day cards featured in the latest issue of Style magazine.  Style is a local Brisbane magazine which features lots of great fashion, design, health and business related articles.

If you live in and around the Brisbane inner south area then keep an eye out for this Vday issue in your letterbox.

Love is definitely in the air!

Valentine’s Day is literally around the corner. You have approx 6 days to prep for the most romantic date on the calendar. (I do believe the most romantic date on the calendar is another one entirely but lets leave that conversation for another day hehe)

So it’s time to get prepared! Shine up your shoes, pick your outfit and most importantly choose your location where all the romantic action will take place.

Here are some creative ideas we are loving:

1. Say it with cupcakes by Love a Cupcake

2. Embroidery Wall Hanging by Lou Lou and Oscar

3. Capsule Letters by Poketo

4. Flock Screen Print by Naomi Murrell

Don’t forget Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! If you are looking for the perfect card for your loved one, then you have come to the right place! Order now to get your card in time (and to stay in the good books)!

You will also be able to find us at the Boutique Market, Portside on Sunday February 14 if you want to pop down to say hi.

Have a great weekend.

Well friends this week was a great week for us as we opened the pages of Giftrap magazine to see an interview with yours truly. Late last year I had a great chat with the Editor of Giftrap, Adeline Teoh on the resurgence of handmade, designer stationery products. Giftrap is a magazine for the gift/homewares industry full of great articles and information.

I’ve recently stumbled across a few new brands of notebooks/sketchbooks and stationery. I have a rather large soft spot for them as you have probably noticed and I’m just loving the black and orange range from Rhodia writing pads and the simple style of japanese brand Düller.
