a charlie and lola birthday party is my favourite and my best

a little celebration for leena's birthday that i helped create.

ultimate party

so my "big" birthday is coming up in a month and a half or something crazy like that!

my dream is to have a great bash.

but between job finding and little projects and adjusting to my new life again and limited funds, i'm not sure i can make it happen.

but here is my dream party ideas anyway // hay bale seats // delicious food // a thousand pink balloons // lots of dancing // cheese cake // party lighting.

are you sunburnt?

happy belated australia day.

i had a wonderful day with bbq breakfast at the beach, lots of swimming, and to top the night off, sitting on the roof watching the fireworks and a lightning storm.

with this amazingly hot (40°C+) weather we have been having in perth, some of us (not me thankfully) have been getting a little too much sun.

how cute and informative is this sweet illustration.

so here's a little help my sunburnt friends.

my reading list 1: coffee table books

my idea of the kind of books to have lying around on the table are a variety of creativity, beauty and humour.

girlosophy inspire // 100 years of fashion illustration // my milk toof the adventures of ickle and larde // the book of bunny suicides // a catalog of type – hand job

i'd love to know what yours are...
