Fairytale Flower on etsy.

In my -inexcusable- neglect of this blog lately, I have also neglected to tell you about Fairytale Flower, the new shop I opened on etsy -exclusively with organza flower accessories.

Now both the new creations as well as my old favourites can all be housed together in their own little conservatory -and make room in OnePerfectDay for some exciting new arrivals.

I'd love it if you visited and gave me an opinion.

Umbrella Prints - Trimmings Competition 2012

Umbrella Prints, for those not in the know, is a textile house in South Australia run by Amy Prior and Carly Schwerdt, filled with delightful fabric of colours and design that you can easily fall in love with.

As it happens, Umbrella Prints has been running a Trimmings Competition  for a couple of years and it's now time for the Trimmings Competition 2012.

This is my Trimmings Pack with the wonderfully colourful Umbrella Print fabric -which, unfortunately, did not photograph that well in the intense May sun we've been having so you can't quite see how thoroughly delightful and bright and addictive it is in real life.

I've just completed my first project with the neon selections of the pack and I'm terribly excited about it.

I hope to have pictures of it tomorrow to post.

My Creative Space - Champagne Organza Flowers

These are one of the new  organza flowers I've been working on lately, in a positively luminous champagne organza.

I'm afraid they don't photograph well.

They are much more impressive in person.

Although I don't instinctively go for the subtle and subdued colours when it comes to organza for flowers, this one was love at first sight.

I can see these as pretty, flirty hair accessories- with or without leaves.

My Creative Space has moved to kidspot.au where you can join in with your creative projects.

My Creative Space - Orange and Rose

These are my latest organza flowers. 

A mix of rose and gold and orange organza which I was a bit doubtful of at first, but now it's won me over. I find it very feminine and chic.

I can imagine this in the impecably coiffed hair of a pin-up girl.

Sunny Doris Day

Yesterday, while looking for images of Doris Day I came across these.

The sunniest of all old Hollywood blondes was born on 3 April 1924 and had a career that spanned six decades.

Here are some random movie posters of Doris Day's 50s and 60s films in that unmistakable, thoroughly charming style of the time.

New Honeysuckle Pink Sash-Wrist Cuff

I know I've been going overboard with the pinks and reds lately but it seems to be a mania that has taken on a life of its own.....

I can't help it.

The thing is, I just can't get enough of these bright, upbeat colours.

So here's my latest fuschia pink organza flower sash/headband/wrist cuff.

It's actually quite difficult to photograph the organza and capture the hue accurately. The colour is approximate. In real life it's deeper and brighter -and a touch more red.

The ribbon is vintage, natural cotton and baby soft to the touch. In my very favourite hard-to-miss red.

I spy.....Easy Desserts

This week, I spy some easy and healthy berry dessert recipes from Taste.com.au -one of my very favourite on-line recipe places.

1. Cherryberry Meringue Crunch

2.Grilled Strawberries with White Chocolate Cream

3.Cranberry and Champagne Granita with Berries

Perfect for the rising temperature and good enough to tempt any finicky eater.

My Creative Space - Wrapping it up!

I recently took some pictures of an order getting ready to be shipped off.

This is one of my newest boxes -that I just love! A candy pink box of the very sturdy kind. 

That way I'm sure that the flower will reach it's destination in perfect condition instead of it being crushed under mountains of mail.

The wonderful card that is accompanying the package is by Sevenstar -my favourite etsy illustration shop.

My Creative Space - Burgundy, Honeysuckle and Red

Here's something I've been playing around with lately.

The petal colours are a variation of the Burgundy Love Mix Flower , but that's where the similarity ends.

I love how the bright red ribbon pops and the leaves with the white tulle and red stitching are one of my all-time favourite leaves.
