We have had a bunch of fun in the studio this week and it has been very busy around here making, packing and designing! Above are some sweet little origami clouds that we have been working on for the shop launch. They are very addictive! After an afternoon of sunshine and cups of tea, Chloe and I have a LOT of clouds ready to make into something special!
Time for a shop update! I was so excited to visit the site today, SO MUCH has been done!! The floorboards are finished, the front has been pulled down ready for the new door, I have a little storage area under the stairs, and my new table has been delivered! Above is a shot from outside, looking in through where the front window display and door will be! I love this little table I found op shopping, it is the perfect size! Above the table we will have 5 pendulum lights... can't wait for these!
op shop find - beautiful old wooden table
our feature wall - I am thinking mustard yellow! Thoughts?
Looking toward the front window into the laneway.
This morning has been spent at the shop... working out the finer details such as lighting, power, shelving, flooring and the front entrance - phew! All of this is a little out of my league to say the least, however we have made some final decisions and excitement has set in again as I watch this little space start to take shape. 
This is where the front step and entrance will be... can you guess the location of the shop?
inside... looking out toward the entrance and old internal elevator shaft!
external staircase... that we plan to keep in the original form.
Making plans for what LJS products will go on this main wall....
Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend filled with many adventures. I spent my time on another road trip op-shopping adventure! So much fun, we found lots of sweet little treasures for both our wedding and the shop, all the while leaving behind many a bewildered shop assistant... yes that's right, I do want the entire 3 baskets of cutlery:)
I have a little secret to share, and I am just so excited that I am finally able to say it out loud... Because, seriously I want to scream about this news from the rooftops! 
The final countdown is on... there is only about three-ish months left until our little barn wedding and things are getting exciting! We have been busy op shopping and collecting like crazy for our party and on the weekend thought we would do a spot of suitcase rummaging in King George Square! This event was fantastic - lots of little treasures to claim, baked sweets and handmade goodies!
Oodles and oodles of heart garlands!! I have been seeing them in my sleep! Hopefully this new batch will see me through for a little while:)
Hello there, I hope you have all had a wonderful Monday!
Speaking of the weekend... I hope you have been busy saving up all your spare pennies for the next Brisbane Finders Keepers Market this Saturday! I am planning to make a day of it, meeting with a bunch of lovely crafty ladies for brekky followed by a relaxing stroll through the markets in search of some wedding day goodies!
Happy Monday! I hope everyone is managing to stay nice and warm on this particularly chilly winter morning!
Whilst away we were very excited to hear news that our wee blog was nominated in the Cosmopolitan Magazine Fun Fearless Female Awards!!! Oh my goodness - so very excited to be in amongst some totally amazing and awe-inspiring women! I have been nominated in the blogger category and I would love if you would consider throwing a vote in my direction if you have a spare minute or two:)
Hello lovely blog friends, it has been far too long hasn't it!! 
Oh what a fun weekend I did enjoy! I have been just busting at the seams to tell you all about it:) For some time now I have been wanting to learn all about ceramic mould making... so over the weekend we managed to get together a group of lovely creative ladies for a crafty morning! We also managed a sweet morning tea complete with slices of yummy cake, ice vovo's and a couple of pots of tea in the process! I had just so much fun and my head is now swimming with new product ideas that I cannot wait to share with you! Check out what we got up to....

slip casting and cleaning up the edges....
