Let's be honest, this pillow sums up my week (month?) perfectly. I'm ready.

I have a fascination with the way nature takes over a place when us people leave it be. There's a beautiful decay in the scenery photographed by Daniel Traub in inner city Philadelphia, in the places abandoned by people and reclaimed by nature.

The "Canyon Series" hand painted porcelain plates from Red Raven Studio are exquisite.

These bee collar clips are so cute! Bzz.

To get me in the mood for the aforementioned sleep, here are some 'gazing at the moon' tea towels. Goodnight!

Have you seen "Wrap" magazine? It's such a lovely volume, celebrating all things paper, and comes with pull out prints for your own wrapped creations.

It would probably be a bad idea for me to get this coffee table. I'd stare at it for hours and get lost in it's deep ocean-blue depths.

Dani from Lucky Number Seven posted about Lou & Grey recently and I really like their simple basics. Perfect for layering and casual lounging :)

Whoa. On the other end of the spectrum, this 1950's dress has the most amazing print! Beautiful.

Speaking of gorgeous vintage, look at these boots!? I'm pulling out my tiny violin and lamenting my big feet that never fit in vintage shoe sizes. Boo.

Happy Friday everyone!

Since it's international cat day today (let's face it, every day is cat day at my house), I thought I would do a round up of cat themed goodies for Found this week. Let's start with some Love Cats Tights from Supayana.

This Kitty jungle gym is incredible! I would love to get something like that for my cats...

via: Catissa Cat Trees

If I used a mouse for my computer, I'd definitely get this felt cat mouse-pad. If you want something more exciting than charcoal, there's a tonne of colours to choose from!

via: Felt Planet

Aw, what a cute kitty bed! I really like the extra detail in the lotus shape felt bed from Elevele.

via: Elevele

Leah Goren, the queen of the black cat print, has created a solid version of her famous print in the shape of a ring dish.

via: Leah Goren

Ahhh! A cat shaped washi tape dispenser! Where have you been all my life?

via: Maigocute

Something special for your very own king of the jungle (,,◕　⋏　◕,,)

via: Nesta's Nest

Finally, in case you're allergic to cats or prefer birds... It's a little morbid, but the cat shaped bird feeder is so cute!

So much cat love! Happy International Cat Day ˓˓ก₍⸍⸌̣ʷ̣̫⸍̣⸌₎ค˒˒

If I wore these cicada wing earrings, I'd probably freak out every time the wing brushed on my neck, and cause a huge spectacle. But it would probably be worth it because they are beautiful and the general public could have a good giggle at me too...

It's been a really long time since I featured something from Petit Mort, and they are still coming up with killer jewellery! I love the tangled crochet chains that they create around the stones.

Oh foxes. So naughty, so sly and so cute (unless they're in The Mighty Boosh, in which case they are the most terrifying thing, ever) As the article states, they are one of the most charismatic creatures and photographer Roeselien Raimond has captured them in their full glory.

 via: Lost At E-Minor

Of A Kind have done it again! I rarely see something on their site that I dislike. These earrings are a classic OAK selection. Simple, minimal, but not boring!

Spotted on Eat Drink Chic: The most colourful, fun chocolates! Plus balloons and all manner of celebratory knick-knacks. Unelefante are based in Mexico and they're bringing the colour to your life!

Here's to a nice weekend! Think of me and my 9am Monday deadline, okay?

Last weekend I baked two cakes... Obviously my cooking utensils were not used to such frenzied attention and I managed to snap a handle off my vintage measuring cup. After allowing a small tear to roll down my cheek, I found a suitable replacement, courtesy of Etsy. May my bright orange plastic half-a-cup rest in peace.

via: Gray December

ModCloth recently ran a great sale with 50% off a bunch of items. They're now offering a small selection of plus sized dresses for 50-70% for a limited time. I love this Curious Columnist Dress from Dear Creatures! So sweet.

via: ModCloth

Nicolas Delort creates these amazing artworks using a reverse technique, first painting a surface black, then revealing details by etching away the paint to reveal the white base. I especially like this work because C used this technique to great effect for much of his early illustration work when we first met. It takes a special kind of visualisation to make this work!

via: Lost At E-Minor

If there's one thing Etsy has done that I absolutely love, it's creating a place where I can find some of the most unique and interesting handmade goods without spending all of my money traveling to the best artist markets all around the world! I love this amethyst cuff from Los Angeles!

via: LuxDivine

I feel like I should apologise for sharing more blankets from Texturable Decor, but I'm not really sorry. I can't get enough of their blankets! I really should just cave in and buy one and leave you in peace (though I'm sure I'll just start telling you how warm and snuggly it is)

How is it Friday already? Augh!!! I'd like to say I'll be taking it easy this weekend, but it's pretty action packed! The main event is my grandma's 90th birthday high tea themed party! Sometimes I pause and think how incredible it must be to have lived for 90 years... the things she has seen and done, and how much the world has changed around her as well. It's mind boggling. Facts about Grandma - she traveled a lot when she was (a little bit) younger and has fond memories of people in Japan in the streets wearing special name badges if they spoke English (to help tourists). I recently discovered that my dislike of olives is genetic (obvs) since she picks them out of her food too... She used to work at a button factory and has a stash of buttons that makes me giddy just thinking about them. She bakes a mean Anzac cookie. I may have also inherited my independent streak form her. Despite suffering from quite severe arthritis, she lives at home and does pretty well for herself. So happy to be celebrating with her tomorrow!

I hope your weekend is special too :)

I'll start the weekend right, with Lewis Carroll.

Who doesn't love a good blazer? How about a nice summer linen number? Of A Kind is also offering 35% off everything until 4th July, using the code UPINYOURGRILL, so it's definitely worth checking out the other unique items they're stocking from emerging designers, there's always something good.

via: Of A Kind

If you've been hanging around here for awhile, you'll know I'm a fan of washi tape. I mean, it's perfect for gift wrapping, adding fun details to letters, sticking love notes to the wall (and keeping your paint intact), making labels, putting broken things back together (temporarily).. I could go on... instead, look at this gold triangle tape and consider the possibilities...

Someone at the Weekend Barber, all the way over there in Portugal, looked at an Oxford one day and said "It's the perfect shoe. But I'm going to make it better." And so these colour blocked Oxfords were born. Nothing fussy or crazy, but just the right amount of 'whoa' to win me over completely!

via: Weekend Barber

There's something special in the symmetry and balance of these mandalas made up of electrical components. I like finding order in chaos, though I doubt my patience would last long enough to solder these all together so perfectly.

I hope your weekend turns out fine! Happy 4th July to all of my American friends!

My pottery love is showing no sign of ending anytime soon. Next up on the list of pieces I want my hot little hands on are these Gem Cups from Milly Dent Design. They're handmade right here in Sydney, Australia too! The marbled interior glaze is gorgeous.

The colourful detail on the legs of this planter really set it off and add to the effect. Another beauty handmade in Australia.

Rebecca just posted about Orla Kiely's 2015 resort range (love it). I thought I'd delve into the slightly more affordable "on sale" archives and express my love for the lion doodle frill dress.

Speaking of fancy dresses, Dear Creatures have done it again. The print and colours of this dress are brill!

Melyssa shared her insights from the recent Alt Summit. For those of us who didn't have the luck to be there in person, her tips get us a little closer to the expereince! Thanks for sharing your knowledge gained Melyssa!

How's your weekend shaping up? You'll never believe what I have planned. Work! Insane and unbelievable, right? I sound like a broken record lately. Don't worry, there'll be more exciting things happening after mid-July. In the meantime I'll escape my screen as often as possible to stay sane.

Wow! These infrared landscapes by Infracolor are so beautiful. They feel like photographs from another planet. One that enjoys pink and red trees.

I shouldn't even look at the Anthropologie sale. Before I know it, I'll have 19 different napkin and tea towel sets, new crockery, curtains and a bedspread. That's before you peek inside the wardrobe. One thing that won't break the budget (if you can control yourself) are these pom-pom push pins. Frivolous, maybe. Necessary? Yes.

This photo from Peter Adams (Offset) of Arashiyama Bamboo Forest in Kyoto has me all excited for my trip in November! I've never seen this famous location before, have you been?

If you're after a fancier-than average tote bag, check out this cactus tote! Loving the print and leather handles.

I know I already mentioned this necklace in another post, but... I recently won a giveaway on Fernaly for some handmade jewellery from Emily over at A Lively Blend. Since I received said necklace (and other goodies) in the mail, I love it even more! It's so simple but still makes a nice statement with the little cube of pyrite sparkle taking centre stage.

I seem to be talking a lot about work lately - as a freelancer, it's a good problem to have, but alas, I have no post of the week for you since I have read exactly NO posts this week. Between working normal office hours, working on the train and then catching the flu... It's been a little crazy around here. I have a few jobs lined up for June/July so there's no end in sight just yet. But hopefully I'll get back to some more regular posting over here when I start working from home at the end of next week (and earning back those 5 hours I've been spending commuting!)

I hope you have a fabulous weekend. As I type this my cats are making all manner of strange sounds at the TV. C just put on their special video which is birds and squirrels frolicking in someone's yard. Nico actually 'asked' for her video to be put on and is now sitting beside me, chin resting on paw, chirruping at the TV.

These teensy tiny ceramic planters are so adorable! There's a bunch of colours to choose from and each is handmade to order. They're so perfect for little succulents or even airplants.

This is what you do when you discover a pile of trimmed rose heads in a public garden. What a great find and a nice way to enjoy them a little longer instead of throwing them in the compost.

Sarah has written a great post on being ambitious and pushing forward with your plans and ideas.

I hope you have a great weekend! I've got four (4!!!) movies on this weekend. What can I say, it's Sydney Film Festival time! I saw a brilliant documentary last weekend, called Jodorowsky's Dune. If you're not familiar with Alejandro Jodorowksy, please check out his work, he makes incredible films. The documentary is about his failed attempt at making the film version of Dune, working alongside such incredible people as Mœbius, Dan O'Bannan, Chris Foss, H.R. Giger, Salvador Dali, Orson Wells and many more. Jodorowsky has an infectious energy and the documentary really highlights his heartache at having the project slip through his fingers. But it's full of hope, excitement and shows what an incredible mark he has made on cinema through just the storyboard proposal he made to Hollywood. Riveting stuff.

This weekend is all about Ghibli. I'm seeing two Ghibli films and a documentary on Miyazaki as well! This has to be my favourite time of year in Sydney, there's always so much to do and see.
