a place to daydream....

Photo Shoot - Madison Reece Designs

 

 

Yesterday Annabel and I packed up some props, 

and headed out of town to take some product photos for the talented Melissa, 

of Madison Reece Designs.  

The skirts and accessories are adorable, and it was a lot of fun setting up these shots. 

I haven't taken photos of little miss Annabel in quite some time, 

and so a few of these might end up on our walls.

Wishing you a wonderful start to your week!

Free worldwide shipping!

 
This weekend, I am having free worldwide shipping in my Etsy shop.  I don't know about you, but I have started cruising my favourite Etsy shops thinking about holiday shopping.  So this is a great time to get organised with holiday gifts!  Does not apply to jewellery, but everything else, even the photo blocks, ship for nothing.  Not a cent!  This deal will finish end of day Sunday.

What are you plans this weekend?  We are starting to paint walls, skirting...which will take us a step closer to painting the wooden floors white.  Oh happy happy Spring!

I just can't get enough....

...of the Spring blossoms.

2012 Calendars

2012 Calendars are available now!  

I have 2 for you to choose from, the first is titled 'Whimsical Daydreams' 

featuring a collection of favourite whimsical themed photos...as pictured above.

The second is  'The Daydreamers Tea Party', 

featuring my favourites from the Polaroid Tea Cup shoot.  

This calendar is perfect for those of us who love to daydream over a cup of tea....

in a vintage cup of course...

I must admit I love them both, they are very different but both based on a dreamy whimsical theme.....

The beauty about these calendars, is they are printed on 5x7" matt photographic paper, 

so when the month is over, trim the dates off and

you have a  5x5" photo to frame, pin up on your inspiration board, your fridge...

It will arrive packaged in a divine vellum envelope, 

wrapped in brown paper, 

tied with string

decorated with a mini print 

and a lovely paper doily.

 

Go on....spoil yourself or someone you love!

The tea cups

On Sunday I spent a few hours with one of my oldest and dearest friends, 

photographing her most divine vintage tea cup collection. 

I had 2 packs of Polaroid film waiting patiently in the fridge for our afternoon, 

and I cannot tell you how much these photos mean to me...for 2 reasons.  

Because I know how much the tea cups mean to my lovely friend, 

and well, because after being so uninspired for what feels like months and months, and doubting myself, 

these little tea cups set up on her adorable kitchen table, have given me that feeling again.  

You know, the one where all you can think about is the photos, 

when you just want to hold them in your hands and look at them again and again.  

When your heart feels alive and you feel the passion for it again.

Thank you, my wonderful friend,

for letting me come and take these photos, 

and for bringing the inspiration back. 

A daydreaming kind of a weekend

Just when I think I have created the last balloon photo, I feel inspired again.  

This one, is for my little boy, who loves the hot air balloons, 

and when they fly over our house on still, crisp mornings, 

tries so hard to reach them.

Wishing you all a wonderful, daydreaming kind of a weekend.
