Have a Look at this retro lamp


I made this lamp for one of my lovely customers, Lia from Style Aficionado boutique in Brisbane.
It is possibly my favourite custom order to date and I just adore it! Lia is creating a nursery for her soon to be born baby son and she is using all these retro fabrics that are going to look fabulous. You can Find Style Aficionado childrens Boutique online HERE . It is filled with amazing finds for your children. Get your credit card ready as there are some gorgeous childrens items on here!

Cactus jackets

Check these little babys out....


I call thes my cactus jackets... I spotted some flower pots wrapped in fabric in a magazine recently and thought what a great idea to cheaply make crappy old mismatching pots look a little prettier. All you have to do is grab some fabric, cut to size of pot, wrap around and tie some twine to keep in place. Nice and easy but looks so sweet and so much nicer than boring old plastic pots......

New lamps

I have made two gorgeous lamps this morning an relisted an oldie, I havent had the desire to make any lamps over the past week and then today it was like bang, I'm officially in lamping mode again! LOL I think I am going to make some more this afternoon when my little ones have an afternoon nap. It's so funny how one minute I can't stand the sight of lamps and the next I'm all inspired and can't stop ideas for new ones running through my head.... Does this happen to evryone? or am I just strange....
