I'm quiet partial to wall paper. Especially retro inspired ones. Today I can across the work of Jocelyn Warner. I like her designs, but I have to admit, I'm more drawn to the styling of these photographs than the actual wall papers. What do you think?

Whether you're into fashion/clothes or not, this video is worth watching. This woman's wardrobe is amazing- both the space and the clothes!

I'm going camping. Sadly, not in a beautiful tepee like these, but in a regular old tent. I haven't scheduled any posts, so it will be quite here for the next few days (I've also put my Etsy store in vacation mode). See you soon! {source}

While I was browsing at the tip shop last week I stumbled across these sweet old drawers lined with vintage wall papers. I was super restrained and didn't buy them, but I made sure that I grabbed some photos to share with you.

New from i wish i had a little shop- bronze age. It should probably be called gold age, but just doesn't have the same ring to it, does it? Anyway, I love these new colour combinations. And the gold chain? I love that too. I always considered myself a silver kind of gal, but I guess my tastes have shifted. I can totally see myself wearing one of these. In fact, I think I'll wear one today.

I don't make New Year's resolutions as such, but I do try to take stock every now again and make changes to my life or the way I'm living as needed. Last month I decided that 2012 would be about simplifying life...less mental and physical clutter. So yesterday I dropped off some things to the Salvos and today I did a trip to the tip shop with what the Salvos wouldn't accept (mainly one very

How cute are these mugs? They're available from Hviit, Norwegian online store and they do ship to Australia, but be warned the shipping is not cheap! Also, the site is in Norwegian.  Originally seen here.

Today's post comes from Jan over at Poppytalk. Last month the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane hosted an interactive installation in which children were given access to a white room and thousands of coloured stickers. This is the result. I think its awesome...but not what I would want in my own home!

Sometimes when I am only half awake I so the strangest things. Take this morning for example, I was lying in bed with my eyes half open, willing myself to get up, when I noticed that the washing hanging in front of the window looked awfully pretty in the morning light. So I took some photos. Then, when I was uploading them, I noticed how similar the colours of my pyjama pants are to my new

Another gorgeous Swedish apartment. This one is a little too masculine for my liking, but I'm sure that I could girl-ify it quite easily. A few splashed of bright colour and some bright fresh flowers would work a treat (but no pink candles).

I have a few Scandinavian homes I want to share with you this week. Yesterday's Copenhagen home was almost spot on for my taste. This one is on the girly side. I love pink but I'm afraid that the pink candles are just a little too much even for me. If you like your interiors a little more masculine stay tuned for tomorrow's house.  Scandinavian home.

I've always had a soft spot for woodland creatures. There's something romantic and majestic about them. Today I thought it would be fun to mix and match some images of woodland animals and interiors- places where I think these animals would feel right at home. Enjoy! {source}

I found a fabulous Norwegian (?) blog yesterday. It's full of gorgeous images. Sadly Blogger won't translate it for me, so I have no idea what's being said, but that won't stop me drooling over the images. These Christmas ones are simply to die for!

Have you heard of Rob Ryan? Chances are if you haven't you've seen his work. I hadn't heard of him until last year when I received a free Rob Ryan screen printed tea towel with one of my magazine subscriptions. His work is amazingly intricate and whimsical. He's been popping up all over the Internet these past few months.  Today I found this video on Poppytalk. It reveals a little of what goes on

My last market for the year is all done & dusted. I've had a lot of fun the past few weeks launching my new business and product rage. I am so surprised and thankful for all the encouragement and compliments I have received from both customers and fellow stall holders. I'm glad that I followed my heart and was not afraid to put Notions into a (figurative and literal) draw and start something new

I know we're already a few days into December but I saw this advent calendar and fell in in love with its simple vintage sweetness. You can download the free iron-on images here and make you're own using iron-on transfer paper. Hmmm..I may have to make one for myself and fill it with goodies. I only problem would be trying to act surprised every morning when I opened that day's bag. Oh well,

After requests from customers I have opened an esty store for i wish i had a little shop. Simply click on the blue giraffe on the right to go directly to the store. I will be loading more colour combinations over the next week or so, but in the meantime here is a sample of what is currently on offer.

Ok, it's December 2nd so I figure it's safe to post this cute little DIY paper wreath project from giddy giddy. It's so cute and colourful I just had to share it with you.

This morning I played around with my lounge room. A few weeks ago I bought an old buffet to use as a display table at markets. I wanted to incorporate the buffet into my house. Luckily it just fits under the stair case. It's the perfect little spot to display some of my thrifting finds. When I stood back and looked at the final result I realised that most of the furniture in this room has been

Well, Markit was fabulous! It was the perfect launch for i wish i had a little shop. I sold out of a few lines and sold all but two of my bead necklaces. I had not expected such a response, but I'm not complaining! Thank you to everyone who bought something or just  popped by to say hello. Having sold so much I was hoping that my luggage would be lighter on the way home, but alas it was

This Sunday you'll find me at one of my all time favourite design markets- Markit @ Fed Square. I love this market...so many amazing stalls, a great atmosphere and it's undercover so there is no chance of being washed away this time! If you are in Melbourne on Sunday, shy not come down to Fed Square and check it out and maybe do some Christmas shopping?

My first official outing as i wish i had a little shop was literally a wash-out. It poured with rain all Friday afternoon and evening and showered Saturday morning; making for a very wet and squishy market experience. By 9pm I was standing in a puddle. Luckily my little shoes were waterproof!  Surprisingly some people did brave the weather to come and visit us. Thank you to everyone

This amazing space is only 37m2. Really. Would I lie to you? And yes, it's Scandinavian. Swedish, in fact. A hoarder like me would have trouble keeping this space uncluttered, but I'd be willing to give it a go. {source}

I think I'm in love. This Brooklyn house is amazing. My dream trip to Scandinavia includes a rest stop in New York. I can see my self putting my feet up here for a while and just breathing it all in. I wonder if the owners would mind?

This new Swedish home style magazine Hemstilat has me wishing that I'd taken Swedish at school. Not that it was actually on offer. Or that I would have been any good at it. After 7 years of French the only things I can say are that the cat is behind the door and ask for a beer. You never know, those two phrases may come in handy one day. Perhaps even at the same time!

It's been quite here at the Notions blog. I've been battling a yucky virus-y thing-y for the past few weeks and this week it's grip tightened and I spent two whole days in bed. I can't remember that last time I did that. But now I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I think I'm finally on the mend. I'm taking it easy today (read: lying in bed reading magazines) but I thought that I'd

So, today I have some big news to share. Notions is no more. Yep, Notions has been officially retired. She's been put out to pasture. This is not a bad thing. In fact I am very excited about the whole thing. For I have started a brand new business. I am excited to be making new products, to be exploring new avenues and playing with an entirely new colour pallet. This decision has been a

There may or may not be some big changes here in Notions land very soon. My epiphany finally arrived. I'm still not sure if it is the right course of action. I'm 95% sure. I'm still mulling it over. Exciting times!

Home Economics was my best class at school. In year 10 I won an award for having the highest mark in that class.  It wasn't always my favourite class, but I think it was invaluable. I still make some of the recipes that I learned in high school. Today I found an interesting article on Etsy on the value of home economics classes. What do yo think? Did you do home economics at school? Was it

There was thrifting to be done and some thinking. Lately I've been hoping for a moment of clarity; for an epiphany, but also so far none has come. I'm really in two minds about where to take Notions.

After writing about Marrimekko the other day I went on a little Marimekko hunt and found this little video of their 60th anniversary celebrations in Helsinki a few months ago.

Have you heard of Papermash? It's a cool online shop specialising in- you guessed it- paper goods. This week I came across this sweet little video made fro Papermash. How can you go wrong with paper goods, stop motion and vintage props? You can't. Enjoy.

I love these images. I found them on a lovely vintage-y blog called First Impressions, written by Maria Elyse. Maria Elyse is also the photographer behind these hauntingly beautiful images. I live the ones on the dock- so beautiful.  images from here

I'm amazed (and slightly peeved) that this doll's house looks better than my real house! It's fabulous. You can read all about the interiors over at Mouse House, the designer extraordinaire who decorated this miniature masterpiece. all images mouse house

As you know, I'm partial to a bit of Scandinavian-esque vintage styling. These image from Fenton & Fenton in Prahran hit the mark. Soft neutrals with pops of colour and vintage props...ahhh, divine. via 79 Ideas

Moose is Loose Treasury As you know I love all things Scandinavian, even the animals. Even the drunk ones. "Per Johansson says he heard a roar from his holidaying neighbour's garden in southwestern Sweden late on Tuesday and went to have a look.There, he found a female moose kicking about in the tree. The animal was likely drunk from eating fermented apples.With the help of police and

It's a beautiful Spring morning here in Hobart and I have the perfect video to share with you on this gorgeous sunny day. Over the weekend I found this video of a couple dancing their way through 100 years of fashion. I've watched it 8 times so far. I'm in awe of the dancers and the camera work. And the costumes? Amazing! I hope you have a fabulous Monday and enjoy this little piece of fashion/

I've always loved geometric shapes. I like the clean lines, but I also love the organised chaos that comes from mixing and matching them. Have you noticed the proliferation of geometric inspired images on the internet lately? I have and I say more power to the geometric! Here are just some of the images that have caught my eye of late. Enjoy!

New Notions products are now in my Etsy store- I wish I had a little shop (Notions).

So, what's been happening at Notions' HQ? Well, I'm glad you asked (let's just pretend that you did). I've been having fun playing with new ideas and products for the upcoming Apron Design Market. My stall is inspired by vintage school objects. In keeping with this theme here are some fun and colourful things I've been working on. With a little help from a saw, some elbow grease, a drill and

In my imaginary world (Rosie Land) I have an apartment in a Scandinavian city, but I also have a Summer house. After those long and cold Scandinavian Winters I need a little house on a lake to soak up the sun and relax with a book and some delicious Scandinavian cider that I've been taste testing lately. (via the style files)

I really enjoyed watching this little film. These guys are amazing to watch.  Thanks to Holly for the heads up on this video.

Have you ever wondered why some European homes that are listed for sale look so amazing? Well, after the owners move out real estate agents move in and style the home. This is particularly common in Scandinavian countries. These shots are of a home in Sweden styled by Alvhem & Estate and Interiors. They even have their own shop where you can buy the props used in their homes. You should check out

I've been hard at work putting together new products for the upcoming Apron Market. I love The Apron because you get to set up your own little shop. This time around I have a fabulous vintage theme that I'm having a lot of fun with. Here's a hint... School Bus Yellow Treasury
