SARAH JANE STUDIOS

The first print from Sarah Jane Studios I ever saw was this one...

Addie & Ellie Play Tea Party II

...absolutely delightful. It's perfect in every way. Once seen, I knew I had to have it for the shop. It captures every detail of a childhood rite of passage but still charms in its simplicity. Like all of her prints, a nostalgic memory for an adult and beautiful picture to look at for a child. We have added two new Sarah Jane prints to our collection, both available in different variations depending on the room they're heading to or child they'll belong to.

Firstly, there's Three Chairs, Sarah Jane's interpretation of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. It's available with red, green and blue chairs, which is a lovely option for a boy's nursery or a shared room for young children. Or you can have red, pink and yellow chairs, perfectly sweet for a girl's room. Like all of our Sarah Jane Studios prints they are $35.00, and great value for money we think.

And then I love these. In fact, so much so I'm getting Read with Me III, framed for a wall in the office. Once again, love the sweetness and simplicity of the detail, and LOVE that you can choose hair and outfit colours too and get the perfect match for little miss' reading corner.

Project Runway

I'm almost religious about Project Runway. After stumbling across it on a lazy night in several weeks ago, I have become steadfast. While the awkward and wooden delivery of host Kristy Hinze leaves me grimacing every time (why they didn't get someone like Sarah O'Hare who is fabulous on Australia's Next Top Model??), I am completely overwhelmed by the talent and resourcefulness of the designers, and can hardly wait for the finale. It's down to Anthony, Lauren and William. I think Anthony is a stand out for his originality but there's something very refined and sophisticated about the work of both Lauren and William. The game really does belong to anyone. Not quite the same thing I know, but every time the paper doll images cut across the Project Runway screen I'm reminded of our own lovely paper dollsmade by the B. Shackman Company who have been making fine paper goods since 1898. They are made from firm card and each come with several cute outfits to change into. They are perfect for road trips or just as a little extra something in a gift. Failing that, use them to stage your very own project runway. Now how's that for a segue?!
