Etsy finds...Little Miss Loolies

I just had to do a quick post on these little lovelies I discovered this morning thanks to Rebecca over at little tree designs. How beautiful are these...

They can be found in the gorgeous Little Miss Loolies etsy shop and I'm officially in love with all of them!! The colours are amazing, want want want!!

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.

Feeling autumnal...

Well, after a couple of random hot days for October in the UK, 

I'm definitely starting to feel very autumnal... 

Its cold and windy outside and I'm transitioning from flip flop and flat pumps to boots! 

Thoughts of autumn have been aided by some beautiful imagery 

floating around blog land and over on pinterest, 

so I thought I'd post a few of my favourites to get you in the mood...

Just how beautiful do you need a colour palette to be for a new autumn collection, 

yum yum Rifle Paper co!

Love the mix of linear areas with washes of colour and geometrics, and the collaged ladies are fab too!
