new obsession - natural history

By Anonymous -









I love finding a new theme to get obsessed about! At the moment it is all 'natural history museum'. Loving the look of little delicate glass test tubes with flowers, collections of natural objects and making everything look to precious to touch, slightly out of bounds - encased in glass or beautifully displayed in cabinets. Here are some images that are making me feel the need to go hunting for some lovely finds again, which I am hoping to be doing with my sister in Wellington this week! YAY! One more sleep!

From the top: Moth's Ball Art Print; Antique Squid Print; fish skeleton and vintage botanical print from Evolution; the wire shoe and old bottles are mine; flowers in test tubes via Pia Bijerk's beautiful blog; last three images from a very pretty shop called pale and interesting.

Ok I am off to pack my bags now and hopefully you will all hear from Shelley and I together sometimes over the next few days, so excited!!

Thanks ladies, I bought some more prints from you. I always love coming to Craft 2.O and buying goodies from you. The way I am going I am going to have a wall of Sweet William goodies to display. Yesterday I bought the lovely Owl and teacup prints.

That is why we have listed these pretty tags in our Etsy shop . They are digital downloads for your own personal use. For best results print onto thick matte craft paper (Canon do a great Matte Photo Paper in 170g/m), cut out with craft knife, round corners if you have a corner cutter and finally use a single hole punch to make a whole for your own pretty ribbon. Because we love gift giving so much we thought we would do a little give away! Simply leave a comment on our blog and you could be in line for receiving any 2 digital downloads for free! Giveaway open until Friday the 2nd November.

I had Contry Style Magazine come and do a shoot at my home in May... a few months later and the issue finally hits the shelves. Yay! I am very pleased with the way it all turned out. Sharyn Cairns took some wonderful photographs and captured our home beautifully, while Virginia Imhoff wrote a lovely piece about all the bits and pieces in our home and how much we have traveled etc. The ' where there's tea there's hope ' print got a big feature in the shoot and on the editors letter, which we are so pleased about and the orders have already coming rolling in. Ooooh I must say it is quite a thrill to see my own home and work in print, I am most flattered!
