Hand printing in Delhi

Last week we were lucky enough to visit Delhi, I have been travelling to India for years now and each time it never ceases to amaze me. A country so diverse and so colourful and enchanting, full of history and poverty. I do love India and thank her for allowing us an adventure with every trip if only we could stay longer.

Our first Tuk Tuk ride and we met a nice fellow that didn't mind getting his photo taken, with so many tourists visiting India these guys have become a tourist attraction themselves let alone where they take you!

First stop is our hand-screen printing factory where we watched our new table linen designs being made into screens, our colours being mixed and matched and then the first samples being hand printed - I love this, seeing the designs come to life right in front of my eyes!

A lot of interest in this fella's shoes - covered in tape they where a good way to not slip off the printing table!

I will show you more images of them hand-printing our product when the collection has been ordered.  I'd like to thank the printing factory for their time and their patience teaching me every time I visit. As well as always going to a lot of trouble to print samples for me as I arrive - timing wise we sent them the artwork on Wed from Melbourne and on Friday we where in Delhi watching them print! Remarkable.

Cutest photo ever!

I could be slightly biased but this is the cutest photo ever! And just happen's to be of my beautiful God Son Louis showing off his underwater swimming style!

Dreamy colours

I am very inspired by this gorgeous house in Red Hill as seen on the Design Files this week. These images just take you to a calm place straight away. I love the soft dreamy palette.

And the outdoor bath is just beautiful! What a lovely place to be....

Take me to Mexico!

This is Coqui Coqui Valladolid Retreat in Mexico - it looks stunning! I have just added another location to The Bucket list! 

Our brand new Maison Ruffle Bedlinen has just arrived!!

Our new Aura Maison Ruffle bedding has just arrived! "The Sky is not too much to ask. Why let your bed be earthbound when you could sleep on clouds? Maison is the cumulus of slumber, a soporific whisper of cotton and linen gently drawing you ever closer to the land of nod. Clouds it seems are no longer the preserve of angels.
Available now - Queen Bed Quilt Cover $219.

Lovely Amsterdam

I'm back from beautiful Amsterdam and thought I would share some of my shots with you, it was my first trip and hopefully not my last. Have a lovely weekend! 

Paris

I arrived in Paris to my very lovely little hotel room, which seemed to be glowing Blue! I love staying in Paris with a window to the street below so I can watch life going on. The weather was abit on the dreary side as you can see below but it is always such a pleasure to visit this magnificent city.

On my walk through the streets on night I happened across this beautiful Christmas tree still lit up in all its glory in front of Notre Dame. What an amazing sight!

The rather unique Andrew Martin stand at Maison & Objet fair with a vintage Circus theme and below a very smart pooch looking rather regal on the wall. The fair was fantastic! and I love the tones of bronze, peach and soft pink also seen in the Maje window below.

Walking along the wide streets to the Metro in the morning I had to stop for a minute and wonder what it would be like to live in Paris for just a moment of your life? But as always my stay in Paris is never long enough now I'm off to experience the fabulous looking Thalys train to Amsterdam!
