Juju!

Almost forgot to show you what I received from Timothy O for my birthday!

A Juju Hat.

These spectacular headdresses are traditionally worn by the village chief in the Cameroon region of Africa for special tribal festivities. Rooster feathers are gathered and woven onto a raffia fibre base to display a beautiful oversized circle, which can also be folded up for easy transport - not that mine is going anywhere; I think it looks right at home in the living room!

I absolutely love it!

Thank you Louise at Table Tonic!.... and ofcourse Timothy O.

Love Art

© Cressida Campbell

The more I look into our new piece of work (here) it reminds me of one of my favourite Australian artist Cressida Campbell. I adore Cressida Campbell's woodblocks and paintings. She really celebrates the small wonders of life and through her work she says lot about the way we live and interiors we inhabit. Love her work!

The Gift of Art

Over the weekend Timothy O and I become the owners of this rather beautiful piece of art. The generous gift was from my parents to celebrate our engagement. I love giving and receiving artworks as gifts; I think it is one of the most personal objects you can give, one that offers nothing more than to give you daily joy and inspiration!

This piece is by Australian artist Leene Aavik.
