The last day of the show is tomorrow so be sure to go and say hi and look at the loveliness that is our Spring Summer 2013 collection, yay!

Heres our little e-flyer that went out before the show...

and a sneaky peak at our yummy stand... (hope you agree!)

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.

Oliver Jeffers...

I've always looked to childrens illustrations as a source of inspiration right from my days at University many moons ago through to today, and have admired the work of Oliver Jeffers for some time now...

So, I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present and buy his amazing collection of books, every page is literally filled with yumminess!

My favourites have got to be 'The incredible book eating boy', 'The great paper caper' and 'Stuck'. 

(if I had to pick a top three, but all are gorgeous)

Here are just a few examples of his beautiful illustrations...
