I hope everyone had a lovely relaxing and fun Easter. I sure did and managed to get away too which was even better. A few days up in Brunswick Heads exploring the region, enjoying the sunshine and listening to some fun music.

I’ve been trying to prioritise taking time out and switching off at weekends and public holidays this year. It is so easy as a one woman show with a home studio to always feel you need to keep things ticking along and never actually stopping. I have been so guilty of this but I’ve made the commitment this year to have some down time, which honestly I think makes me more productive on my work days. So really it’s a win win.

Anyway I’m back into it feeling refreshed after a few days away and working on your orders which will be winging their way to you very soon. 🙏😍

I was recently asked for an image to use for International Women’s Day and realised I basically have no photos of me with my lights or doing my thing. It’s no surprise really - as soon as a camera gets pointed at me I turn so awkward.

So I decided to set up a little photo shoot in my studio with my partner trying to give me some direction to get some a decent shot. I definitely don’t think we nailed it but they’re not too bad. My favourite is of the course the one with my face cut out 🤣

Bellflower pendant lights in terracotta, mint cream, sandstone and sienna.

This is the newly renovated in Ocean Grove. Feeling pretty lucky that my lights are part of this gorgeous space. I will have to journey down and see them in real life very soon - and enjoy a beverage of course.

If you need lights for an upcoming project or fitout feel free to get in touch - we would love to work with you!

THROWBACK THURSDAY
I was attempting to get organised today and filing photos when i came across these pics from many moons ago. I still love them. They were taken as part of some promo shots for a pop up lighting, furniture and textiles showroom with the super talented Emily Wills of

This is one of our large Luna pendants (55cm diameter) made entirely from recycled paper pulp.
