In the Press!

I've been waiting very impatiently for the latest issue of <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.ivyandpiper.com.au/#!magazine%22">Ivy and Piper</a> to go live.... it's a fantastic magazine, put together by the very talented local duo of Melanie Parker and Elizabeth Raptis. But even more exciting is that one of my favourite local shops, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.hamptonshomeliving.com.au">Hamptons Home Living</a>, has been featured in the latest issue. And if you look closely, there's some artwork on the walls that you just might recognise.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9aDGn2iCr6OPoSNCEd7dvpQA3k5iAj2jr2astW73LjXOJ5dotlo3cgJ5Eqx__DZnxawTHmjnVig7zhsRT6ZS3xEg9vhfJq1elsYAxkIBiykIpIRhOPkIPm51g6PW2AaXv21m1aeitdnL/s1600/hamptons+ivy+and+piper+june+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ9aDGn2iCr6OPoSNCEd7dvpQA3k5iAj2jr2astW73LjXOJ5dotlo3cgJ5Eqx__DZnxawTHmjnVig7zhsRT6ZS3xEg9vhfJq1elsYAxkIBiykIpIRhOPkIPm51g6PW2AaXv21m1aeitdnL/s1600/hamptons+ivy+and+piper+june+2011.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">..do these blue and white prints look familiar?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfydWW9_dGVDHfdpD6URws4hoepthJHTVW67AtwTJCHCtdNrLehvlM9GJiEFps57L0tdC1YW25WaCanIxQ5oMPaOP4zZ26lOz_S16IHF8S40xC2pdNsT9dtLhLkn2JGWFIkWEQ-DaFKAA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.50+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqfydWW9_dGVDHfdpD6URws4hoepthJHTVW67AtwTJCHCtdNrLehvlM9GJiEFps57L0tdC1YW25WaCanIxQ5oMPaOP4zZ26lOz_S16IHF8S40xC2pdNsT9dtLhLkn2JGWFIkWEQ-DaFKAA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.50+PM.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> ...sea fans in charcoal displayed amongst all of Hamptons gorgeous wares</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8OQ2OdWebjuKiNQst1tRzC50o31UmZTK6B3yuFw0GZQebIHB9hBdO41LTnTOLiy4dNCQXLG-7nXMJ2eh2PrLtRtEKLuOAEhUdxRgOjG71o8tcRJF7pfYDf0FjlE290Gdd-OGQuRwqOSXA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.58+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8OQ2OdWebjuKiNQst1tRzC50o31UmZTK6B3yuFw0GZQebIHB9hBdO41LTnTOLiy4dNCQXLG-7nXMJ2eh2PrLtRtEKLuOAEhUdxRgOjG71o8tcRJF7pfYDf0FjlE290Gdd-OGQuRwqOSXA/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-06-08+at+6.15.58+PM.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">beautiful, no?</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Hamptons is one of the lovely stores stocking my artwork, and I was so thrilled to see them featured.

Hamptons Home Living

I had a wonderful evening last night at the opening of <a href="http://hamptonshomeliving.com.au/">Hamptons Home Living</a>, a beautiful new store in Brisbane's Paddington. It's the brainchild of talented couple Luke Stringer and Tania Bailey, and combines the most gorgeous homewares, furniture, food and coffee in the one stylish package. Think whitewashed walls, rattan furniture, ceramics in every colour of the rainbow....I could go on for ever. I did manage to take a few snaps last night, although photos were the last thing on my mind amongst so many delicious morsels!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0UTCqYiUTsmiRSjEBJGSyYOdwMSryWIxOcV6zafAX4AaTk3IECsBAi60G_kKwB1S7q1VUr45Gd-9Z_m0Y7D9kVW3ZzvP8nHF_KRn6Fz3046V40NXFwgw38MPr8z_TKlBQWD_-Ncl21I/s1600/hamptons+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0UTCqYiUTsmiRSjEBJGSyYOdwMSryWIxOcV6zafAX4AaTk3IECsBAi60G_kKwB1S7q1VUr45Gd-9Z_m0Y7D9kVW3ZzvP8nHF_KRn6Fz3046V40NXFwgw38MPr8z_TKlBQWD_-Ncl21I/s640/hamptons+4.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">beautiful tableware + coral....they had me at hello</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTT9ZiX9JjKEOsIE69B6-GrZpHJt-3WsMNrVo3VjH8frVjZ5OqOJp2kz5ZvbXzc9P0wDGcFmfU60rfDHfGM6L8YL8vpnvP0EH8h_KTAdytG6Knnr1wijLYkcUchSeLvUqjx2LYar_Z2c/s1600/hamptons+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOTT9ZiX9JjKEOsIE69B6-GrZpHJt-3WsMNrVo3VjH8frVjZ5OqOJp2kz5ZvbXzc9P0wDGcFmfU60rfDHfGM6L8YL8vpnvP0EH8h_KTAdytG6Knnr1wijLYkcUchSeLvUqjx2LYar_Z2c/s640/hamptons+1.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IhPsqyzWEnxCeQfs6LX1umWmeu9Ilf1gDibnLDuKCm5Nf6_4yy1DqFRNbfnFQT7qFPX4MJRh8pORJIoLnxSaOFz_4RedKqhkt8HDnkUrFYHpOUQsyAn2srPqiUMvrRsqv4zWlHQlPA8/s1600/hamptons+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_IhPsqyzWEnxCeQfs6LX1umWmeu9Ilf1gDibnLDuKCm5Nf6_4yy1DqFRNbfnFQT7qFPX4MJRh8pORJIoLnxSaOFz_4RedKqhkt8HDnkUrFYHpOUQsyAn2srPqiUMvrRsqv4zWlHQlPA8/s640/hamptons+2.jpg" width="478" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzideoSRkHAx_QbbD-w3rRBXu6lwbk0UVkLdLyj5zXsOscfFSvr9zFqwNe85xXizjgBv9XyQ9fZEzuulfT8hlIFhnIhIaU37WeVkI2A_gKW9aD3CxqIAglaRJWD-4qe-8Ke5h1K4r00U/s1600/hamptons+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtzideoSRkHAx_QbbD-w3rRBXu6lwbk0UVkLdLyj5zXsOscfFSvr9zFqwNe85xXizjgBv9XyQ9fZEzuulfT8hlIFhnIhIaU37WeVkI2A_gKW9aD3CxqIAglaRJWD-4qe-8Ke5h1K4r00U/s640/hamptons+3.jpg" width="462" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"> colourful ceramics, gorgeous Bungalow napery from <a href="http://thebrowntradingco.com.au/">The Brown Trading Co.</a> (so nice to finally meet the lovely Keren in person!) and <a href="http://murchisonhume.com.au/">Murchison Hume</a> goodies galore.
