my itchy eye

Eye spied – Inflatables!

Been working way too hard lately. Today I would like to spend the day here :)

Eye spied – Furoshiki strap

My beloved Furoshiki now has a friend! This is genius – just thread the fabric through the custom-made leather strap and hey presto! You’ve got yourself a stunner handbag. You can buy both together, here.

Eyes moving

So, after working at home (alone) for three-and-a-half years, I’m going to give things a go in a real, proper, grown-up office! So many things to re-learn. How to strike up an interesting conversation ‘round the water cooler… how to dress in presentable clothes, without slippers (eeeek!)… and how to look busy when you’re really surfing the internet. Wish me luck! Now, how do I get this door open…

Food peeps – The Spirit House

It has been about eight years since I last visited Spirit House. Waaaaay too long. Look how tall the bamboo has become! Thai food in a spectacular garden setting… ah… bliss!

Fashion peeps – Clare Vivier

Clare Vivier just made it onto my radar – she’s been around for a while by the look of things. Better late than never! Not sure I could choose only one… Soon as I do, it’s wish listed.

Illustration peeps – Emma Houlston

Flipping through pics of the uber cool posing by the pool at Coachella, I noticed these guys. Then I got excited! Emma Houlston illustrated them for Mulberry. Love.

Eye spied – Awesome architecture

This is genius! I love that the old structure remains just as it was – not renovated to within an inch of its life. But the occupants can still live in a super modern, comfortable home. Those Germans are clever folk. See more by Naumann Architecture here.

Eye spied – Image Snap

Ah, this is genius. Photos (or whatever you like) printed onto ceramic tiles! Just storing it here, so I can find it again later. Definitely trying it when I get some time!

Eye want – Amy Butler’s house!

I try to appreciate the wonderful, fortunate life that I have and not covet other people’s stuff. BUT, this house is utterly stunning. No other words… Except that this has totally inspired me to live in a house someday, with a separate studio. Ah, to dream! You can do the full tour here.

Eyes and ears – Genius cover

I really love this cover of Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’. I also love the original, of course :)
