'A VINTAGE TEA PARTY'

Photos taken by Me

Over the weekend I hosted 'A Vintage Tea Party' as part of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, to help raise funds for Cancer Research and Support.

My Invitation read a little like this:

EXPECT: TEAPOTS, RABBITS, FLOWERS, BUNTING, CAKESTANDS AND, NOT TO FORGET, PLENTIFUL AMOUNTS OF MAGICAL TEA-PARTY FOOD FIT FOR THE QUEEN.

There was indeed plentiful amounts of delicious food baked by my family & friends, including freshly made scones (thanks Steph!) and a selection of delightful T2 Tea's including French Earl Grey, Ginger Spice and Peppermint.

I had so much fun creating this event, from making the bunting flags and props to setting up & styling it all on the day.

If you would be interested in having me style your next event please contact me via my email address

It would be my pleasure!

FULL FONTAL

Following on from yesterdays post, I have stumbled upon the tumblr 'Full Fontal' (lol) which is full of designed, typed and written Typography.

Thoughts, quotations, sayings, signs, letters... etc. If you are a lover of Typography like me, do check it out!

HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter!

Above are a few photos taken earlier in the week of some dyed / marbled eggs I made.

How cute are the moss bunnies!? 

I hope you've had a lovely weekend filled with fun, family, friends & chocolate.

MATTRESS INSPIRATION BOARD

A MATTRESS BASE AS A MOOD BOARD!

// Love this idea //

Especially as its new purpose is something very different to what it is made / intended to do.

Although, if you do think about it a little more.. you dream laying on it, so in a way it is kind of fitting that its new use as an inspiration / moodboard is also where thoughts and dreams are created.

hmmm..
