Today I Love



I thought I would collect together a few little items I absolutely love which were sitting on my desk today.  Obviously fluoro pink is currently a favourite hue.  I must say it is hard to get things in fluoro pink so whenever I see anything in the colour I grab it including the fluoro pink envelopes, the fluoro papermate pens I recently found at our local newsagent and a little snippet of boucle fabric with fluoro pink, fluoro green and fluoro yellow threads running through it.  We also just received a new collection of vintage suzani textiles  in the shop today and this one above is my absolute favourite!

Yes, yes, yes! All these zingy hues have me inspired, too!

Anna you do colourful SO stylishly! I'm loving it! I love to combine contemporary with traditional in my Queenslander home. You are a constant source of inspiration for me. Thank you...we have recently purchased a townhouse in Paddington and hope to visit the city more (from Toowoomba) now that we have a crash pad...so very soon I will pop into Black and Spiro for a peek! Can't wait! Cheers.

It's a great cheery colour. I saw a story on tv a while ago that talked about how fluoro pink was created - it was amazing, so interesting!
ps the fabric is a treat :)

We watched a show on PBS last night all about Dale Chihuly...his amazing installation in the de Young Museum in San Francisco was spectacular! Wish I could have seen it in person. This post reminded me of his impossibly vibrant pieces, glorious. If you get a chance to see that documentary I highly recommend it.

I love the colors of that suzani! I also love suzanis and I would say one that was embroidered by two girls for a couple of months in Samarkand is one of the best souvenirs I brought home from my Central Asian adventure. Your blog is inspirational! I love it.
