WALL SPACE // Animal Magnetism

 I just discovered the Animal Print Shop. I can't wait to get back to having an apartment in Toronto where I will definitely adorn the walls with at least one of these prints. I just don't know how I'll choose.

Mud Australia

Beautifully simple tableware by Sydney-based Mud Australia. Every piece is handmade so each item is unique. All of the pigments are blended with the clay giving the colours a depth not possible with coloured glazes. This little pitcher is definitely my favourite.

Embroidery and Geometry

Lovely quilt from UK designers Custhom. I love the contrast between the modern geometric pattern and the craftiness of the embroidery. Nice subtle tones too.

White Horizons

Some beautiful shots of the North American prairies in winter by photographer Michael G Zimmerer. I would love to have a large print of one of these my house one day.

Colourful Summer Food

Steak with roast potatoes, grilled vegetables and sauteed spinach.

Late Night Snack

Peaches baked in honey, with greek yogurt, raspberries, lemon drop cookies and camomile tea.

Wood Meets Plastic

I know that as someone who appreciates product design and supports hand made items and their makers I am probably supposed to consider IKEA the enemy but it is definitely a guilty pleasure for me. You have to admit that they do come out with some gems. I love this red plastic chair inspired by a familiar wooden chair design.

A Pop of Colour on a Cloudy Day

Nice embroidery sample from an embroidery workshop organized by Karen Barbe in Santiago, Chile.

CORIUMI

The beautiful work space of makers Inga and Arvydas of Lithuanian Etsy store CORIUMI.

Buddha Bowls

There is a restaurant in Toronto called Fresh. They have a dish called Buddha bowls and this is my interpretation of it. It's brown rice, spicy peanut sauce, lettuce, tomato, avocado, red peppers, shrimp and cilantro.
