Little Home- Beautiful cushions!




I have been a fan of Little Home for a while now- their cushions are so beautiful and feminine. They are Australian made to the highest standard from 100% cotton. You can buy them by clicking on stockists on their website.  They have a new range coming out soon so if you don't fall madly in love with what they have in stock already, there are more gorgeous cushions to come. I think they would work beautifully in a little girl's room but also in a lounge room or adult's bedroom. Just devine.

Gorgeous, gorgeous bunting from Festoon- how cute is this?







How gorgeous is this fabulous bunting from Festoon? I particularly love the cowboy bunting ( I can help thinking that it would look fantastic in our cowboy room). Festoon is a family owned company specialising in the creation of beautiful handmade bunting. They would look so gorgeous strung up in a bedroom. playroom or a cubby house, or they are so reasonably priced you could use them as decorations for a birthday party. 

They have lots of gorgeous designs in their store with more coming in every day (I can't wait to see the Japanese dolls- I am imagining that they would have gone brilliantly with our china doll room. This company really is close to my own heart!) They also do custom orders.

Check out their gorgeous website on www.festoon.com.au. I'm sure you will love them as much as I do!

Kim T Designs- Great wallart and cushion covers




I have recently discovered a wonderful company called Kim T Designs wallart. Kim is an Australia based mother of two who imports fantastic fabric from the UK and has it made into wall art and matching cushion covers. Some of her fabrics have a vintage feel and some are more contemporary. She will also create custom pieces so it's worth checking out her website here. She is expecting lots of new fabrics from Europe any day now and will accept pre-orders if you get in quick! You can also email her on kimtdesigns@aapt.net.au.
