I’m so excited because I’ll be having a one-week trip to Melbourne this Sunday with a friend who’s visiting Australia.  I’ve got a longgggg list of places that I want to visit and I can’t wait to try alllll the cafes I’ve got on my list!  This will be my first proper trip to Melbourne – first time I went was during Easter and everything was closed.  Second time there I was on ‘business’ (haha) and didn’t have much time.  Yeay I’m so excited I’m gonna go pack now!

Illustration Prints

Today, I added a new section to my Etsy store to sell prints of my illustrations.  I had a fun time styling the shoot of the prints ‘in action’ – in frames, and hanging on the wall.  Here are some photos of the prints I am selling.  Do visit my shop – thanks!!!

All The Lovely Prints

I’m currently working (busy creating prints) on a collaboration with a friend I’ve known for almost twenty years!  The collaboration is a secret for now, but I’ll let you know when we launch.  :)

There are a few brands out there which I like mainly because of their beautiful prints.  Cute and colourful, and especially if they’re whimsical!

 

First up, minä perhonen.

Loving the dress above, and these prints below:

 

 

Eley Kishimoto with their colourful outfits every season will really bring a smile to the grimmest face.

 

 

 

Orla Kiely is a common favourite, especially this irresistible radio!

 

And then this cute & happy jar!

 

And an adorable collar for cooler days.

 

Orla Kiely’s diffusion brand, Olive And Orange is oh-so-lovely as well – these two outfits are so cute!  I need!  :D

 

 

And, one more reason for me to save up for my trip to NYC!
