DIY LOVE...a crafty night

The view from here...

As I cut and folded and tied and strung, this is what I could see! I don't know what was on but they stayed like this for the longest time.

Event LOVE...invite ideas

Today was a really funny day weather-wise. It was beautiful and sunny at times then it would pour down with rain at others. A little too unpredictable to be outside so we bunkered down and got to work on planning an engagement party invite we have coming up. On the weekend I picked up an array of coloured pens from TYPO {gosh how I love that shop!} so instead of the laptop, today we worked off good ol' fashioned pen and paper.

{Oscar makes a great assistant...he has to oversee everything!}

After sketching out a few ideas a completely new idea was born...hand lettered/illustrated invites! We will present a few options to the happy couple and see which way they want to go. Either way Oscar and I had a lovely day sitting on the bed playing with all the pretty new pens!

Weekend LOVE...Mustangs & Waterholes!

Happy Monday Friends. So begins another week, and we are still recovering from a wonderful weekend. We had dinners out {alone & with lovely friends}, on saturday we worked and gave refuge to our lovely customers who braved the rain for a stroll through Paddington. On Sunday however we decided to turn the phones off & get out of Brisbane for the day.  We were headed for Neurum Creek {the boy found out about it earlier in the week}, we had put it down for Sunday if the weather was good. We woke up to a drizzly morning but we were determined to go regardless!

{The pretty pale blue Mustang was our favourite (Oscar & I) while the boy liked the blue & silver one best! }

We made a pit stop in Woodford for coffee and snacks and were happily surprised at all the gorgeous Mustangs that were there. I don't know it they gather there every Sunday or if we were just lucky, but we loved stretching our legs and having a good look at all the beautiful cars!

{Platypus Pond had a rope swing; which made us realise we are getting older...it was definitely not as easy (or as painless) as it used to be!}   

{The sun came out and it was a glorious day, the water was lovely and refreshing and the view was breathtaking!}

With a grin from ear to ear we know somebody definitely had a lot of fun...

We had such a wonderful day swimming, exploring and relaxing; we can't wait to go back again.

Engagement LOVE...You're invited!

We wanted to share with you the invites {for what is sure to be a beautiful engagment party} that went out earlier this week. The bride-to-be was a delight to create for and was all too happy to cut and fold and stick alongside me. Without a wedding date {as yet} or a set colour theme the possibilities of style and colour and the look of the invites were endless. She's a girl's girl. He's a man's man. So we compromised; bold and structured for him with Tiffany blue accents and envelopes for her {did we mention the lucky girl sports a Tiffany & Co. ring on her finger!}.

As well as help from the bride-to-be I also had another special helper who watched over every step of the process {meet Oscar!}.

Happy Friday friends, hope you all have a fantastic weekend!
