more ouch!

So hot right now…
Two more of the dreamy Ouchflower macramé hangers I have in stock at Urban Rustic. Handmade by Melbourne artist Phipplia Taylor. I love the story behind the name Ouchflower. Pippa’s young son’s description of her succulents…

So this kind of hurt; I had the perfect blue vintage ceramic pot for the Peach hanger but I dropped it before I even got one photo. In my favourite baby blue too. Was a lovely longer oval shape which sits in the hangers nicely.

Upset, I doubt I’ll find another. Annoyed at my clumsiness. Spiky little chards EVERYWHERE.
Ouch, ouch and more ouch!
But the substitute bowl is pretty smokin’ too. Don’t you think? I’m happy with it.
Smoked glass is so retro but so modern. Like the hangers. Noticed Country Road brought out some smokey glassware this year. I’ve got tons of the real stuff, watch this space…

The hangers are $120 each and I’ll throw in the pot if you like.
Smoke it up. Yeah baby.

life of pie

Can there be any happiness greater than the happiness of salvation?
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Saving cake, clearly. Leftovers that could go on forever [if you are irrational and can leave them that long]

…for everything has a trace of the divine in it.
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Vintage Tupperware pie slice keepers.
Mock chocolate cake face cloth part of a set I found at Salvos. Unreal.

I loved the film but I haven’t read the book yet, must confess I lifted these quotes from Goodreads.
Have you read it? And or seen the movie? Did it live up to the book?

smokin’ hot

Captain, have you any smoked glass?
Around The Moon, Jules Verne 1870.

See it’s been around for like, ever, but suddenly I’m seeing smokey glass bottles everywhere. Well, chain store decorating shops to be more clear.

Go for the original stuff, way more appealing, quite Mid Century Modern which is my favourite style [although I am partial to a bit of Shitty Chic ala Samantha Jones at the Hamptons, Sex In The City].

If there was a Glassware Beauty Pageant this would win Most Sexy pants down.

I need to get out more…
