holidays and fairy gardens

A much needed holiday to Byron Bay was just what we needed,

We spent the week swimming and building fairy gardens along the beach and in the rockpools,

I haven't enjoyed such a relaxed week for ages,

Sadly the news of japan came through while we were away bringing us crashing back to reality,

live every day as if it is your last....

The japanese are survivors,we will be right there beside them...
Holiday over,I can't wait to start making some winter goodies.....

watercolour ceramics

You must see these!!!How gorgeous are these plates?????watercolour ceramics

mushrooms on the mind

I cannot get mushrooms out of my head,

Fairy ones that is!

I found a fantastic supplier of handpainted mushroom stakes 

available at the markets around byron bay,

I ordered a mix of colours and styles but nothing beats the red and white spot,

problem is every child that comes to our house ends up leaving with a mushroom

[ and starting a fairy garden]

I'm thinking of doing a whole range around the humble mushroom this winter,

maybe I will finally bite the bullet and try out my untouched gocco printer that I was lucky enough to find on ebay.

Perhaps a toadstool house printed as a patch pocket on some gypsy pants and pinafores!

Look at this cute vintage pinafore,with the owl placed just so...
