Spring has sprung as they say. I like to think most Australians are optimists and overlook the fact that the season is our rainiest (with this particular Spring forecast to be one of the wettest on record). Instead with the slightest hint that winter is coming to an end we suddenly pack away the parkas and think it’s going to be all sunshine, lollypops and rainbows everywhere. Not so. Instead let worship those seemingly rare, golden, warmth-tinged rays of sunshine by celebrating all things yellow. It’s much easier than doing a sundance.
- All of the chicest craftsters and interior aficionados seem to have gone a bit mad for bunting and pennants to add colour to a room lately. This miniature version constructed by hand from vintage fabric remnants is by Madeleine at Made by Mosey.
- Anyone else love receiving real, posted (ie. not bills or court orders for that matter) mail? Every trip to check for new deliveries will bring a smile to your lips with this canary-hued mailbox. This is a collaborative effort by DesignByThem and Tommy Cehak which makes everyday objects less than mundane.
- Egg yolk yellow. Scalloped edging. Polka dots. Could these paper cupcake wrappers by Lark be any more adorable? It is ok to eat cake for every meal, right?
- I’m captivated by the wild prints that young Perth fashion designer Jaime Lee creates. She’s really a watercolour artist who uses a fashion canvas as her medium.
- You’ve probably seen those roll-up ballet flats that save your soles? Now there’s a new, much cooler, version just in time for summer. Simply consider Flipsters a flat-packed version of flip flops that can unravel from your bag when your heels need some relief.
