Time for...
a -
quick -
lesson in -
ichthyology!
And when fish look as beautiful as these articulated fish paper dolls by The Filigree maybe you might be tempted -
to start your own school!
So there it is, some fun with fish for you on a Friday, and, for those of you that may have been keeping tabs, that's twenty - five letters down, ONE to go!
I hope your weekend goes swimmingly,

Most happiest of Mondays to you,

Once upon a time...
tucked away in a sweet Sydney suburb, lived a very lonely and neglected -
 |
| Help! |
little shop!
As luck would have it, the lovely Connie chanced upon said shop and, even luckier for me, I was given the opportunity to help transform the space into her new design studio - how I love my job!
We decided upon, as you may have already guessed, a bird theme using back and white and yellow as our colour scheme. We also incorporated vintage finds including a most excellent mirror that Connie had found on the side of the road.
The result is -
 |
| Black and white set the background to a bird themed centre piece and yellow highlights |
a fresh -
 |
| Lots of paper birds and recycled medicine vials set amongst white spray painted branches |
contemporary -
 |
| Simple white shelves and a collection of frames transform another wall within the space |
space -
 |
| More birds and some of Connie's gorgeous rings |
from which Connie now works and sells her beautiful handmade jewellery.
 |
| Our favourite piece! |
And, with that, it's bye bye birdie for now!
May your weekend be chirpy,

Tonight...

I am off to Julian's Performing Arts Night at school. Whilst he has been playing the piano for a little over ten years, he has only been playing the tuba for a little over ten days - should be interesting!
Here's to a musical Wednesday,

Shaken...
not stirred!
Some -
super sweet -
snow globes -
for you -
on a Friday!
available from the lovely people at West Elm.
For most of us not living in the Northern Hemisphere this is about as close as we will get to having snow at Christmas. How very thoughtful of them therefore to be currently offering half price shipping.
Yes, there will be snow at ChezB this year - I bet you can't guess which one is on its way!
May your weekend be wonderful,

"X" ....
marks the spot!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I love a good pirate - think Johnny Depp - so today I thought I'd share with you some particularly stylish pirate products from the awesome people at 826 Valencia.
From fantastic -
posters -
for your walls -
to all sorts of other -
interesting paraphernalia -
all your swashbuckling needs are covered at this one stop pirate shop!
My favourite piece though is this amazing print -
I love it! Surely I can find a spare wall for it?
I am a big fan of the 826 National. I have both the "Advancement of Time" and "Vintage Time Travel" series of posters from 826LA at my place and they look fantastic. 826 National are a not for profit organisation which is dedicated to helping children in America improve their writing skills. They have eight locations across the states, each of which features a different retail experience. Profits from all sales are put back into the organisation - nice!
Happy Wednesday - maybe I have tempted you into releasing your inner buccaneer?
Aaaaargh,
Stephie x
