Beautiful birdhouses

 I really enjoyed creating this decorative birdhouse design. It uses a folkloric style and includes birds and foliage on a cream background. Each birdhouse has a floral decoration around it and each bird has a decorated belly and wing.

You can buy this sweet birdhouse print in my Spoonflower shop on a variety of wallpaper options and it makes a great print for a kid's bedroom. There are peel and stick and pre-pasted options as well as a gorgeous grasscloth version. And if you're feeling really brave, there are also silver metallic or gold metallic options.

It looks great on a statement wall in the bedroom to give it a summery feel.

It would also look great in the kitchen. There is a vinyl version of this wallpaper so it's easy to wipe down and keep clean.

Magenta tote

I haven't made many tote bags recently, so decided to run one up in this fab magenta bird fabric that I bought in Tokyo. I have already used it for a clutch bag and in both cases, mixed it with a vibrant Indian block printed cotton lining.

You can find it in my store here.

Fave Fabric Friday

It's that time of week again! This week's fave fabric Friday offering is a beautiful Etsuko Furuya Echino fabric. Etsuko is a Japanese textile designer who produces quirky and witty fabrics in an array of stunning colours, under the name of Echino. I homed in on this one when I was in Tokyo recently and am thinking of making it into a small clutch. I think it would go very nicely with a vibrant turquoise woodblock fabric I picked up when I was in Mumbai last February.

Birds in flight

This little cosmetic bag was recently added to my Etsy store. I love the slightly retro feel to the print and the lovely fresh blue colour. I added a turquoise blue spotty lining for a flash of colour.

You can find it in my store here.
