RED WINE

Have had the best day down at the beach and am now off to drink wine with friends. My perfect Saturday! Love this photo of wine corks with the different grading of red wine staining. These could make very pretty decorations.
This image is from a lovely new blog that I just found - 100layercake.com/blog.

FONT




We are having a 'font' art exhibition in our office this evening so thought I would post some of my favourite letters from a great shop in Sydney. If you're ever in town, you should pop along to When David Met Nicole. They have amazing vintage letters of all shapes and sizes.
LOVE the 1920s wooden printers type blocks.

CANDLE LIGHT

Love these cute little candles. Can imagine them dotted around a room and they would make lovely wedding favours.

SPARROW'S EGG



Apparently a sparrow's egg symbolizes new beginnings. These wedding invitations are very soft and the white, silver and turquoise colours work really well together.
