Above is the first look at a new custom invitation created at the end of last year for clients Michelle and Steve. These two are getting married at a lovely rustic venue and wanted a simple, understated invitation which they could print and assemble themselves, a service which is available with many of our designs.
Not long now until the big day and we wish them all the best!

Wow. This amazing beaded bouquet is from a gorgeous 1930's inspired wedding over at Ruffled.

I've been dying to share this post, but couldn't as the dear recipient of this gift reads here and I didn't want to spoil the surprise!
A lovely customised Bridal Dress Hanger, was my very first Etsy purchase...I know, I'm a late bloomer when it comes to Etsy, but trust me, I've had to restrain myself since.
lilafrances' shop is LOVELY, tres reasonable and an amazing thoughtful gift for friends getting married.

I have to admit I freaked out a bit when I saw this originally on Nina's blog as I've thought about creating this style of desk for close to a year. I guess I'll file it with all those other brilliant ideas that I figure I'll eventually get around to!

It's a cold, wet Monday here in Melbourne and a far cry from last week's unbearable heat. In fact, my feet and the bottom of my pants have only just dried from stomping through the puddles on the way to work.
The thing about having great weekends, filled with such fun, is that come Monday morning, it's oh so hard to peel oneself from the pillow. But peel one must.

Holidays, happiness, heavenly meals with friends and hour naps in the afternoon. Happy new year!
Well here we are, halfway through the month already. After the Xmas 'binge' of posts I really needed a bit of a break : ) Since Jan 4 I've been back at my 'day job' and haven't had much time to reflect on the new year or decade before us.
We spent New Years down at Lorne which was very special, despite the schizophrenic weather [close to 40 in the morning and hailing in the evening on NYE]
My mum has got our Xmas traditions down to a fine art by now, but it's taken years of practice to get to this point for sure!One family brings entree [locally caught seafood!] and another the dessert [traditional pud, lethal brandy butter and drunken strawberries usually]. Which leaves the main event to mum. Roast veg, spuds and amazing meat from Mondo's finds its way to the table without mum even raising a sweat. Unless its a typical 38-40 degree day.
There will come a day when I need to step up and create my own traditions with nearest and dearest, but for now I'm happy to enjoy one of my favourite times of the year :)

If you have a spare wall [or even a mirror as in the pic above], some post-its and some inspiration it's not too late. 
Love love love this cute stocking from Eeni Meeni Miini Moh. On special now for Pulse subscribers - ony $20.40!
A post at Christmas time wouldn't be complete without the sharing the creative inspiration of Emma Lamb.
She made these lovely garlands from a deck of cards, and whilst they are certainly festive, it's a great idea for any time of year.
