Colour my day...

I am loving the new Anna Griffin fabric collection "Camilla". It has beautiful bouquets of soft roses in varying shades of pink,  with green leaves and accents of grey and aqua. Using Camilla as my inspiration, I started a photographic mood board:

 

gorgeous large border print.....

 

There is a tree out on my neighbours footpath that is covered in the most delightful flowers at the moment. The flowers change colour with age - starting out white and changing to pink as over a few days. I have no idea what type of tree it is but they reminded me of the flowers in Camilla and I couldn't help but bring some of them inside:
 

 

Inspired by the fabric range and the flowers above I started a mood board which included elegant lamps, vintage cutlery, rustic furniture, my favourite string of pearls, buttons and paint chips...

 

 

I love the clasp on my pearls - such a shame it is at the back, hidden underneath my hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at all of this inspiration,  I got hungry...why is that?? I headed to the kitchen and made cupcakes. Cupcakes on pretty china... yum!

 

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed by photographs inspired by Camilla fabric.

Camilla is arriving in Australian stores very soon - keep an eye out for it or ask your local store if they have ordered it. Anna Griffin fabric is distributed throughout Australia by Lloyd Curzon Textiles.

Colour Story

 
Pink and Aqua

I thought it was time for another colour story. This is the type of post that I really enjoy putting together. I love searching through my cupboards and drawers to see what I have that will work with the colour theme I've chosen. Today I'm inspired by the Beach Cottage look and the pretty soft pink and white with gentle aqua blues.

 

 

 

 

 

The fabric in the photos below is Shadowplay by Maywood Studio
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favourite fabric ranges at the moment is Memories of Love by Maywood Studio. It's soft romantic theme is highlighted by the beautiful palette it's presented in. Gorgeous florals are teamed with beachy stripes and romantic toile type prints.

 

There are also wonderful plains that match the range perfectly.

 

Here are some of my favourite prints out of the range:

 

 

 

 

 

 
  

 Memories of Love is already in Australian Stores. If you are looking for this range, contact me by email and I will let you know which stores have the full range in stock.

I hope you are enjoying your Monday morning.

Take care...Di
