I love a lady called Elsie...............

Well, let me explain. Elsie is a gorgeous, full figured woman. She is simply stunning to look at and makes my heart flutter. And she has a wonderful personality to boot - she lifts my mood every time I lay eyes on her. My dear friends, Elsie is an armchair, lovingly restored by the gorgeous girls over at Armchair, Pip and Kirsty, using The Organic Mamas' Mod Green Pod Bloom fabric (my personal fave).

And the best part is, she's for sale.

But you better be quick.

Rush over to Armchair's brick and mortar shop at:

401-405 Pacific Highway,

Crows Nest here in Sydney

or online.

Blog Lovin'

My friends know I am an addict - an addict of design blogs, crafty blogs, textile blogs and maybe just a couple of those other blogs where you find out who is married to who, who is seeing who - you know what I mean - I know I shouldn't admit it by I will.......
But I digress. My love of design blogs knows no bounds and then yesterday I stumbled on a laugh-out-loud blog that combines my love of laughter with design......I am not sure how I found it, you know how it is but unhappy hipsters parodies great design photos from Dwell magazine. I can't explain it, you have to have a look, and a laugh.
By the way, there is nothing to do with sustainability or the environment in this post..................I need to get back on track.......

There. He felt it again. The whole house had unmistakeably slid toward the retaining wall, as if inching toward edificial suicide.
