Oh my goodness – what a surprise. My beautiful friend Jess from Brown Paper Bunny has nominated me for a Stylish Blogger Award. I am beyond flattered.
So here’s how it works firstly I need to honour Jess. She and I used to work together (at a law firm) and luckily for me we’ve remained friends. You really must go on over and visit her beautiful blog. You’ll be surprised to learn she only started drawing a year ago – her work is beautiful. Secondly I need to tell you 7 things about myself that you may not know. So here goes in no particular order:
- I once suggested a name for a race horse that was submitted and selected by the Australian Racing Board – the name was Chinoiserie.
- I have a penchant for coffee cup motives and my particular favourite is the Sun Java logo.
- I am not a night person. Feel free to get me up at 5:00 in the morning but don’t ask me to stay awake beyond 9:30pm.
- I have twice been to Newfoundland Canada and I would live there in a heartbeat.
- I cried the first time I saw Van Gogh’s Starry Night.
- I went to high school in Japan for a year and lived in a house for 3 months that was attached to a Buddhist temple as my ‘Dad’ was a Buddhist priest. He taught me how to meditate.
- Both my boys were born in February but one in winter and the other in summer.
And now I have the added pleasure of sharing with your my nominations for the Stylish Blogger Award… drumroll please
When I first ‘met’ (we did a blogging course together) the brains behind Notabilia, I’m pretty sure she didn’t even have a blog. She’s a New Yorker that now lives in Singapore and writes about art, food and the life of an expat.
I have long been a follower of Brandi from brandi girl. She’s a woman after my own heart with her colour posts, her eye for detail, her beautiful jewellery and her infectious personality. When I’m in need of colour inspiration I know I’ll find it here.
Katrina from Ma Joie Press is a letterpress master whose blog is a mixture of her work and home. It’s also one of my favourite blog designs. I got to work with her last year when she created invites for my Dad’s 80th and it was such a great experience.
I was first introduced to Eat Live Shop when I coded the redesign of this gorgeous blog. Renee has so much energy and I love that she just says it like it is. She’s got such great taste and I love how she arranges her posts.
