2010 August » Two Little Dicky Birds.html

Hello and welcome!

Two Little Dicky Birds is a collection of things that I love, be it interior design, decor, food, travel, art or craft.

In April 2006, my husband and I purchased our first home and spent four years redecorating. It was such a rewarding process, and fuelled a love of interiors, which is now driven by an obsession with decor blogs!

During April 2009, we moved on from our beloved miner's cottage, to a new family home, where we have been chipping away at renovating and redecorating, all the while raising our two little dicky birds, Noah (3) and Sam (9 months).

My two beautiful boys have ignited a long-forgotten love of photography, which you'll find me dabbling in on a daily basis.

I hope you stay and have a look around. You'll find a selection of just some of the things that inspire me, and hopefully something that inspires you too!

This Week

I am…

…loving these cute paper lamps from Rie Elise Larsen.

Actually, I’m really in love with their entire collection. Here’s a little more eye candy…

…inspired by Geninne’s Art Blog - beautiful hand-crafted stamps that you can make yourself. Seriously. There is a great video tutorial to show you how.

…making something tasty… I’m not sure what yet, but I’ll be sure to share it with you on Tuesday

…imagining that I’m enjoying these tasty Summery treats. Sadly I will have to settle for imagining them as we have no local gelateria (boo) or store that sells macaron’s (which I have still not tasted – boo hoo), and I’ll be too busy to make them because I’ll be making my (as yet) unestablished culinery creation. Now that was a mouthful.

Hope your weekend is a good one!

In the Post

My order from Ink & Spindle arrived yesterday and I am really, really excited to get busy with this gorgeous fabric. I can’t tell you what I’m making though (sorry!) it is a Christmas surprise for someone, you’ll all just have to wait!

The fabric is Birch Forest in Robins Egg and Plain Basecloth from the Ink & Spindle online store. The small ceramic tile is part of a set of four – a gift from my sister, and is by New Zealand artist Jo Luping. The flower is from the local florist.
