Isn't it funny how sometimes you think, talk, wish something & then out of no where it just happens. About a month ago Kate & I were saying how lovely it would be to have a section of a shop dedicated to our products & yesterday these photos arrived from the lovely Allison of Lark. She has just opened a shop in her home town of Daylesford, Victoria, Australia & it looks GORGEOUS, just the place I would love to shop & hopefully soon I will be able to, but more about that later.
Here is some info about the shop
It is open 10.30 to 4.00 each day
the address is
Lark
4a Duke Street
Daylesford
(if you can't find it, it is tucked away in the lane behind the MS op shop, look for the big Lark sign on an old warehouse building!).
The shop has cute homewares, yummy stationery, cool kid's stuff and all the fresh goodness you would expect from Lark - and some of our lovely friends including Victoria Mason, Betty Jo, Beci Orpin, Arthur's Circus, Genki, Able & Game, Twiglet, Little Shop of... and Rice! It's also a great place to discover local makers, we have some great crafters here in spa country! Oh and zines and mags including Thaw, Peppermint, Mixtapezine, MadeIt. Japanese things too. Lots of ace stuff, really, and very friendly service.
& here is what it looks like
The magazine style picture rack is such a clever idea, I will have to show it to some stores here in London as inspiration for displaying all the lovely art you can buy these days.
I really hope some of you reading this will be able to stop by and see it for real and say "Hi" to Allison from me.
Whilst blog hopping the other day I spotted this sweet illustration by Catherine from Bumpkin Bears, I asked her if I could show it on my blog and she has kindly offered 10% off to any one that buys it during the next 2 weeks from her Etsy shop (offer ends 15th Oct 09) just put a message in the 'note to seller' section about seeing it on Belle & Boo's blog & she will send you a revised invoice.
I also came across this extraordinary cushion / dolls house/ bed on a blog and I feel dreadful as I can't remember where, but I had to show it, it makes me smile. aaarhhhhh........ it was made by Rubyellen from the delightful blog cakies, thanks everyone.
