Launch Party {Anna Spiro for Porters Paints}...



 

 









 

 
Last night I was excited to attend the Anna Spiro for Porters Paints launch party held at Black & Spiro. What an great night it was - Congratulations to Anna for hosting a wonderful evening and for the wallpaper collaboration with Porters. It is something so different & special and will be a success I'm sure!!! The shop looked amazing and was filled with gorgeous flowers and garden plants to compliment the wallpaper range {as well as the usual amazing decor, furniture & accessories}. If you live in Brisbane and haven't been to have a look yet, you must!!!

The range can be viewed online at Porters Paints, and there are sample books available in Porters Paints outlets as well at Black & Spiro.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. We are off to the coast to attend Sam's first party - his cousins 1st birthday party, so should be fun!

Addicted {to instagram}...

I am guilty of an instagram addiction!!! I have been reading about it on blogs & have been told about it by a few people for a while now and am consequently now hooked.... Much to the detriment of this blog I might add.

Here are a few of my pictures that I have posted recently.... You can see more on instagram @kelly_polkinghorne {I would love to see you there}!






 Hope you are having a great week so far :-)

I love parcels...




This exciting package arrived via courier late on Friday afternoon... Gorgeous fabric found at Proud Mary thanks to the last edition of Lonny!!! The fabrics are hand printed by a womens co-op in South Africa using potatoes as their print blocks. It is a great quality base cloth and the colours are vibrant - the fabric is an artwork in itself. You can check out Harper's blog & store here.

Hope you have a fabulous week :-)

Herbs & Books {in that order}...



Well, the poor herb garden suffered somewhat once the baby arrived {watering & tending to herbs was WAY down on my priority list!} so inspired by some gorgeous {and not too hot} sunny days, I went off to the nursery. Here are some newbies alongside some oldies in their glory, basking in the morning sun.... Now, where's the fertiliser?




These books arrived late last week & were amongst some I ordered recently. Can't wait to sit down & enjoy them. They have been around for a while but I love adding to my growing collection. You can never have too many books!

Happy Wednesday!
