Today

I think these lilies which we have in the shop at the moment are the prettiest lilies I have ever seen.

I am smitten with our new hot pink {well it's actually fluoro/neon pink} love heart fabric which just arrived onto my desk this morning.

This vintage rug in my office keeps me smiling all day.  I love it.

And these new baskets in the shop are calling out to me - "take me home".....

I love the stargazer Lily. Those were in my bridal bouquet...

Which brings me on to things of hearts-that pink material is such a fun graphic.

Love it.

Hope you have a great week!

Love your vintage rug and all the blooms.

Hope your garden is continuing to shine. My whippersnapper mower guy was here yesterday and now mine looks half way decent.

Great fabric, I wish I had a place for something so bright in my home - maybe my daughter's room.

absolutely beautiful impressions

Petra Tamme said...

Count me in as another huge Anna Spiro admirer!! Wish you weren't half a world away! Makes me want to plan a trip to Australia sooner -- and Brisbane definitely -- just to come to your shop!! Oh well, at least we have your blog to look forward to each day.

Also, I share another of your admirer's comments -- please consider an Anna Spiro iPhone app. Would love to have something (calendar, whatever!) with your very special design style!

Love everything you do!

Oh, those beautiful flowers!

I was fortunate enough to have a florist decorate our mixed-use space last year for an event and spent the next week surrounded by them... it makes such a difference and they're *gorgeous*.

Here are the photos:

Lillies are my favourite flower to have in my home, and the colour of yours is stunning.

Flotsam Friends said...

My favourite flowers... I can only imagine how divine these smell. And I absolutely adore your incredible vintage rug. I'd love that in my workspace too... And I do want to take that basket home. I thought you might be interested in my beautiful turquoise and green vintage Villeroy & Boch plates (I think from memory you like that combo). Pruxxx
