Ellie Davies

Absolutely loving the photography work of Ellie Davies. Her pictures seem to perfectly capture the mystical feeling you find deep in a forest.

The images bellow are from her 'The Dwelling', 'Come with me' and 'The Gloaming'  projects.

Cooked Book

How great is this edible cook book. Made out of pasta and embossed with instructions, the pages can be filled with ingredients to create a tasty looking lasagne - genius!

Coral and Tusk.

Really love these embroidery pillows from Coral and Tusk. At the top of my wish list is the tug boat pillow and the Animal wreath napkin set. I'm enjoying their fresh take on the age old craft.

This stopframe music video for Josh Ritter used over 12,000 pieces of paper with no effects added – pretty impressive!

wooden churches.

Last week we did a bit of driving through New South Wales. We kept stumbling upon really nice, old churches dotted around the countryside and loved how different they are to the ones we find back home.

Here are some we found on our travels.

Little Boat.

Take some time out of your day to watch this beautiful animation by Nelson Boles.

Freezing cold castles.

This past weekend we bravely headed out with a thermos of soup to Bothwell Castle. I say bravely as this was the first absolutely freezing day we have had in a while – giving us a taste of things to look forward to. I really don't mind the cold though when there are places like this not far from our house.  

Note to self find john some wellies. 

A Wish for Winter.

Today when i walked to work, it was still dark cold and raining. It gave me a chance to think about how much i am not looking forward to winter. Until i fell upon this lovely picnic. From this lovely blog. 

Doesn't it make you wish for winter.

home envy.

Recently my charity shopping has gotten out of hand.

I have made friends with all the lovely people that volunteer in them and i go sometimes more than twice a week. John was making a list of all the things we have already too much of, top of the list was tins, then enamel, blankets, tea towels, kitchen utensils and table cloths.

I kind of agree but then i saw this home and collections that belongs to this lovely lady. Sorry john choose your battles i can't stop.

A collaboration between expert sign writer Jeff Canham and woodwork master Luke Bartels (who both definitely warrant their own post at a later date)!
