Fabric LOVE...Cushions for the Lounge

...Java Lounge that is!

On Monday afternoon mum delivered this gorgeous mound of cushions to our friends {and neighbours on Upper Latrobe} Java Lounge Cafe. Gosh that woman sure is clever, she painstakingly hand stitched different details onto each cushion! I can't wait to get in there and take some photos of the cushions in situ but I couldn't wait to share them so we will have to make do with this photo mum sent me from her phone {possibly the only thing she isn't great at...technology!}

Love them! Next time you are in Paddington stop by the Java Lounge and make yourself cosy and then of course come and visit us.

Street LOVE...Let's get together!

Last night we had a street party of sorts.

Last night the owners of the shops on Upper Latrobe Terrace in Paddington closed their respective shops and gathered for a meeting of the minds. You may rememeber me talking about the little Co-op between neighbours here. Well last night we met up to discuss all manner of things that we have going on for our little strip of shops. One of the most exciting things that we are wanting to do as a group is put together a website and a street map of Upper Latrobe. All sorts of ideas for style and direction were being thrown around but the idea that we settled on was for a stylised or illustrated map showing each of the shops on the strip.

Today I was researching some examples to draw inspiration from and I came accross Linzie Hunter, an illustrator and hand letterer, who does some incredible work that I simply had to share...

Let's hope we can come up with something that is in the vaccinity of this amazing-ness!
