Some pearls for you, some pearls for me.

Friday Flowers

I'm not usually a huge fan of Carnations however, I do like this simple little posy I created this afternoon using some fresh white Carnations and a little Antique Cloisonne jar I picked up at the Antique Fair last night. I couldn't decide which spot to put them in so I took a photo of both little spots. The colours of the little jar look so pretty with my vintage bird however, I ended up popping the little arrangement on my bedside table on a stack of books in front of a little drawing of Harry's I recently had framed. See you next week!!

Brisbane Antique Fair

I thought I would remind Brisbane readers about the Brisbane Antique Fair which is being held this weekend at the RNA Show Grounds. I am heading off to the opening tonight which should be fun. I always love seeing what treasures are at the fair as most of the dealers have been saving up their special pieces for months to put on show.

Lady Portrait

If I wasn't trying to be good I would snatch up this gorgeous vintage girl from Lynn at Paris Hotel Boutique. So, if any of you decide to snatch her up make sure you let me know as I would love to see where she ends up!!

Fire Places..

I have a thing for fireplaces. They seem to draw me near them like a invisible force, even if it is not cold outside and a fake one is turned on in a restaurant. I confess, I am a closet pyro. I love fire, the colors in the flames, the smell of burning wood and the way everyone looks beautiful in the glow of it's light. It is a very romantic element. Enjoy, Heidi

My Fabric Obsession

Anyone who knows me well knows I am obsessed with beautiful fabrics. For me, fabric is the starting point of any room design. I am continually falling in love with new fabrics I find. Whenever I find something I truly love I buy at least one meter to keep on file so that when I show clients I have a large piece to show them how beautiful the fabric really is. The small pieces in the sample books just don't do the fabrics justice. I thought I would show you a few fabrics I am currently absolutely in love with.

You red my mind.

I created this ad for my business a few years ago and to this day it still inspires me. I found the second image last week and it reminded me of my ad. Then I browsed through my image files and found D' Ette Cole's image, which I am totally crazy about and am a huge fan of. All of the images seem to have a something in common. Enjoy, Heidi
