Published in the UK

Last year I was approached by Sage Publications, a London based publishing house who asked to use one of my illustrations for a book cover. If being paid to use an illustration for a book cover wasn't enough, the title of the book certainly grabbed my attention. I am currently in my second year of studying counselling and psychotherapy! Crazy!

A copy of the finished book arrived in the mail today! The really spooky part... this week at college we will be studying the same topics found in this book. Is the universe trying to tell me something? The way this book has landed in my lap, there are just too many synchronicities to ignore! It's now on my must read list!

The image used on the cover was from my 'Polyhedra' range.

Another beautiful production to come out of the Denis Smith Photography studio. An exquisite capture for one of our beautiful customers from the Full Moon Farm Gate. Love your work Denis.

Our little 'Denis' the Platypus is hanging out in style at the home of Amanda and Dan from E for Ethel. Check out the home feature by elle ds photography - such a bright and cheerful vibe in each and every room (a reflection of Dan and Amanda's personalities!) Beautiful pics Elle!

My Home

Our Retro Abode

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting Elle from elle ds photography. She popped over for a photo shoot for local publication Dear Eleanor. We hung out for a few hours sipping tea, talking retro finds and camera gear! Here are snippets of our home through Elle's lens.

I really love Elle's eye for photography - do keep her in mind if you are planning a wedding or any other event that you would like beautifully and uniquely recorded.

Festive Decor

I'm so delighted to have a touch of Messagemark featured on the Houzz Blog.

Adelaide's talented interior stylist and all round creative chick Rebekah Cichero from One Small Room has given us her soft and fresh perspective on festive home decorations. I really love the fact that 'red' isn't the main feature here being a bluey/green kind of gal myself.

The photo spread also features a range of local SA and Australian designer makers, an eclectic mix that seems to come together perfectly. The lovely photos were captured by Jeni Lee of Carousel Media.

You can spot the Messagemark Polyhedra Garland cutely hanging from the Deer head above the mantle in the children's bedroom which perfectly ties in the pinks and greens used to decorate the other areas of the house.
