Orange

Just thinking of the colour orange in the middle of winter gives me a warm glow, which is more than can be said of our newly replaced hot water service.

Making this applique denim jumper dress for the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market on 9 July helped a little, but I needed more.  Time to go shopping.

Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, this delightful creation by Aardvark is first on my shopping list.

I would be ready to face the world wearing this yummy resin necklace by the lovely Sophie of Strat Designs.

I'd feel like a million dollars wearing this gorgeous ring by Jewelry By Emmy.

I would come home to a warm bowl of pumpkin soup and admire my latest print purchased from Hey Harriet.

Lastly, I would take in the beauty of this stunning glass bowl by Corporan Glass.

Sigh.

Let's go shopping: love is in the air

Yesterday I attended a delightful afternoon tea for a friend who is getting married next weekend.  It's her second marriage and I don't think I have seen anyone so serenely happy in a long time.

The comment was made by someone that hen parties for young brides-to-be these days are evening events and involve a fair amount of night-clubbing.  However, we at our more mature age are quite content to sit around sipping tea or coffee and the wildest activity was the creation of bride's dresses out of rolls of toilet paper.

It was quite obvious that the guest of honour (centre) was kicking herself that she had already chosen her dress for the big day.

So let's go wedding shopping.  Here are a few treasures from some BrisStyle designers.

Marcello Neckwear

The groom will look the picture of elegance wearing this lovely Liberty tie.

But all eyes will be on the beautiful bride wearing these stunning earrings.

Retro Bird

The centrepiece for the table sets the mood.

Let's Go Shopping

If it's Saturday it must be time to go shopping.  It's a little dreary here in Brisbane this morning, so orange is definitely needed to brighten up the day.

Moose and Bird

I really need a new pincushion, so it has to be top of my list.

Dash Robin

If I had lovely long tresses I would have to have this gorgeous hair clip.

Shazzabeth

A stunning new ring is just the thing.

Bon Tons

Ah ... time for a cup of tea.

Enticing Icing

With a little cupcake perhaps ...

Bamboo Belle

... and a bib to catch the crumbs.  Bliss.

All these delightful items are creations of just a few of the talented members of BrisStyle.   If you need more ideas for your fill of Saturday shopping, hop on over here and feast your eyes on some lovely and tempting handmade goodness. 

Let's Go Shopping

It's Autumn in Brisbane, not that you'd know it.  To escape the humidity I think I'll take myself off shopping.


Hey Harriet



Let's start coffee served in these fabulous retro cups.

Little Chrissy

Of course, I would share my coffee with Mr Fudge.



Marjon Scheffer


















Which would put him in the right frame of mind to buy me this delightful ring.

Sweet Harvey

We would then ride all the way home on our new bicycle ...

... trailing this lovely red and white paper garland behind us.
