Depeapa + Dee Beale + Desire to Inspire

Loads of piccys today - are you ready??


Depeapa

It was over at Bloesem that I discovered these gorgeous brooches by Depeapa. If you followed the links to Bloesem from the 'B' post the other day, you no doubt have seen them too. But just in case you didn't click through to the Depeapa links I wanted to show you some of the illustrations and other brooches in their collection...each item is handmade with love in Granada, Spain...oohhlala!

Dee Beale

Dee Beale is a UK based print maker who produces a fab collection of original prints from her Japanese Gocco Printing Machine. (yay for Gocco!)

I love the hints of Scandinavia that show through in her prints, and her choice of colours would have to be right up there as my favourites at the moment (*see new banner above! - I just need a hint of red and we would be perfectly co-ordinated don't you think?*)

enjoy!

If you like sneak peaks and interior inspiration, then Desire to Inspire is a perfect stopover for you.

Canadian and Australian based friends Kim Johnson (Canada) and Jo Walker (Australia) compile an addictive and inspiring collection of interiors from real estate agents, magazines and interior design portfolios - I've just added about 12 images to my 'inspiration' folder - eye candy like no other! You'll love it!

Take some time out, and have a peek.

Christopher Bettig + Bliss in a Teacup + Bloesem + Bloesem Kids

Hello! Thank you so much for joining me. Lots of treats in store for you to peruse today...let's go!

Christopher Bettig

I had to smile to myself when I came across the work of Christopher Bettig. My first reaction was "ooohh I have to write about him", thinking that maybe it would be something new and interesting for you all to browse... then I discovered that I am soooooooooo behind the times!

Christopher's work is well and truly appreciated by many world wide. His design studio The Mountain Label "develops products, graphics and installations for diverse clientele." That diverse clientele include Urban Outfitters, Nike and Fila. Yep, well appreciated.

And it's no wonder - have a look!

Bliss in a Tea Cup

I was excited to find Bliss in A Tea Cup one day whilst over at Poppytalk Handmade, I promptly wrote it in my catalogue for Alphabet*Six. Creative duo Richard and Rebecca Brittain "like to reuse and reconstruct favourite items and mediums in new ways, using everything from embroidery hoops and spanish language cards to clipboards and vintage curtains".

I am loving what they are doing with embroidery hoops, from inspiration boards and chalk boards to clocks! And the fact that Rebecca is originally from New Zealand, just makes Bliss in a Tea Cup an extra special find..

How can we go past B without mentioning Bloesem and Bloesem Kids? - we can't!!

Bloesem and Bloesem Kids

Irene Hoofs from Bloesem and Bloesem Kids hardly needs any introduction. She is a favourite amongst design bloggers and a regular feature on the 'must read' lists in magazines.

Irene has exceptional taste - everything she writes about is beautiful. Both her Bloesem and Bloesem Kids blogs boast a fantastic collection of images and inspiration... and a fab list of resources too - everything from craft DIY to World Tours - and everything in between!

You should check them out!
