New find...

Well, thanks to Nicola at www.nicolapearson.blogspot.co.uk I came across some gorgeous designs from Ashley Thomas that are being sold in Debenhams. They are absolutely bloomin' lovely and I had to order a few purchases straight away, oops!

Cushions, framed art, notebooks...spoilt for choice.

I had a little look at Ashley's website for more designs and its definitely worth a little trip over, yum!

Heres a little taster....

Together Gallery...

I came across a couple of these images over on pinterest recently and just had to have a closer look at the website they were from.

Together Gallery's 'Elemental'; a collaborative group project between Aaron Piland, Ayumi Piland, Betsy Walton, Jill Bliss and Yellena James.

I just absolutely love the artworks, sooooo beautiful!

The colours, placements, the whimsical, organic feel, just yum...

They would have made a beautiful display in the gallery I'm sure.

I've always loved the work of Jill Bliss and Yellena James but weren't that familiar with the other artists work, so, after falling totally in love with the artworks from the exhibition, I wanted a closer look at more of their work...

First up...

Aaron and Ayumi Piland

Next...

Betsy Walton

I managed to find an image of the exhibition itself from the Jill Bliss website, and yes, how lovely do they look together on display, yumminess indeed!

Definitely worth a little trip over to the Together Gallery website. The artworks are sold out as the show took place back in 2010 but the images can still be seen together on their site.

Things I've loved this week...

These are getting a bit of a regular feature on here...

Its nice though, to just round up some gorgeousness from the week...

Some lovely things this week;

a gorgeous new print from Anna Emillia (1) , Lisa Stickley cushion (2), and something I literally fell totally in love with this week (all over again) Elena Deshmukh cards (3), my oh my, she has some beautiful new editions to her collection including 'Souvenirs' and 'Sailor and Friends' inspired by her very own little terrier.

Keep a look out for them in the shops.

H&M have a lovely collection of home ware now which I recently stumbled across and I absolutely love this cushion (4) ; could be the bird, could be the 'etchy sketchy' technique or the gorgeous scribbly wording, who knows, probably all three, but its lovely isnt it...

Next up, an all time favourite of mine, liberty prints (5). Their new additions to the ever increasing offering of fabric definitely do not dissapoint. This lovely print is one of many new ones you can see over on their website.

Lastly, this lovely october desktop from Tabitha Emma (6).

happy weekend everyone

Maxine Sutton...

I'm really loving the work of Maxine Sutton at the moment.

Screen printing, applique, embroidery, mark making, and stitch mixed with abstract placement of household paraphernalia and bits and bobs, including the old favourite, birds, yum...

So... I thought I'd share the love!

Head over to her website for more fab work.
