The book Nomad, by Sibella Court, was won from the girls at Paper Runway. It is inspired by her travels (she travels alot) and is quite glorious. I love her little ways of gathering collections and her use of paper in her stylings of her tableaux. It is very theatrical, a tool used to inspire creativity in your own home, rather than slavishly follow. It is a reason why I am drawn to them...they are so damn fabulous and go beyond the practical.
ON TREND
Every now and again I get a little smug, when I discover little bits and pieces I have found around the traps are being featured in mags and books. My little piece of smugness today is the ink bottles I found in the RSPCA shop. (and paid nix for!) Similar vessels are featured in the new Inside Out.
And for Kylie, you darlin' can be smug, 'cos there is a donkey and cart featured in the Nomad book...I know you featured them yesterday.
These little bits of smugness mean I have a valid place in the universe and that I exist! (For those who don't know my sense of humour, I am being wry and ironic)
those photos are awesome! i love the layered school maps!
ReplyDeletewell I always did want to be one of the cool girls...

Me again...just had a thought, maybe I should lug mine inside and plonk him on the dining table. What d'ya reckon, would that make me really really cool, or just a try-hard?
ReplyDeleteFew things in life better than a win I've always thought. Looks like a great book, but we already knew you and Kylie were doyennes of style!
ReplyDeleteWell done for having your stylishness confirmed! Some people have such a knack for displaying and styling, you and Kylie sure have got it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I try to artfully display items, it doesn't work.
Hope your lucky winning streak continues.
