I never tire of looking at the big warehouse window that lets in the light to the Lyssy May studio. The mood changes with the light and today was a gorgeous day to particularly enjoy the bunting that my dear friend <a href="http://mygirldesign.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Shannon</a> made for me way back when I moved in - it still looks super charming!Lyssy Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879115141159041575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683859155378873870.post-59783817151767145732012-02-27T20:08:00.002+11:002012-02-27T20:15:34.743+11:00Lyssy May in Ballarat this Sunday!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This gorgeous bird was canvas worked in wool by my Grandmother in the 70's for my mother. It has always been in my family home in a gold frame that was 'of it's time' but as a housewarming gift I have been fortunate to find it now in my little home with a brand new frame. It has a new lease of life that allows the bird to dance in it's vibrant colours dance once more. <br />

Since the last kitchen post there's been a few more changes! A floating shelf has been added to the alcove (less than $30 from Bunnings) but also a touch of chalkboard paint in Grasshopper ($23 for a small tin from <a href="http://www.porterspaints.com.au/paints/speciality-finishes/chalkboard-paint">Porters</a>) on one wall is a handy brightener. The calendar was a find in NYC at the American Folk Art Museum which has instructions on the reverse side of each month on how to make the pages into little trinket boxes.Lyssy Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879115141159041575noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683859155378873870.post-43849277435213662062012-01-13T07:01:00.000+11:002012-01-13T07:01:14.826+11:00Friday the 13th Free Shipping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

hmmm...today Lyssy May was meant to be doing her book keeping but instead decided to play in her new kitchen. Well, the kitchen isn't new (it is indeed very tired), and if you were thinking that sounds like a day of blissful cooking - wrong again. Lyssy May's idea of play is to potter for hours arranging knick knacks. </div>

A new sleek kitchen is envisaged however until the lotto Gods descend to pay for a renovation the interim solution is to have a little fun with the space to unleash some hyper-sweet accents to brighten it up. Fortunately pretty bits and pieces are not in shortage from years of collecting and receiving gifts that people knew were just a little bit Lyssy May!</div>

This Saturday Lyssy May will be at the 'Rock your Stockings' Xmas <a href="http://www.popupmarkets.com.au/">Pop Up market</a> at 118 High St Prahran from 10 AM to 3 PM in aid of the Smith Family. Would love to see you there - there will be fabulous stalls to browse!<br />

<br />
This weekend however I decided to luxuriate in some quality time at the studio and whilst taking pics of some new designs in the laneway I was reminded how much character and history resides where Lyssy May has lived at Ironside Studios for nearly 3 years.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the warehouse is under development threat and there is a public meeting coming up for the council to hear objections from the general public. Fingers crossed heritage will win out and our beautiful creative haven will be preserved.<br />

Today was a classic 4 seasons in one day in typical Melbourne style. In the 2 mins of sunshine Minnie May posed for a picture with a new chopstick design. Summer is the inspiration for this little collection of designs (<a href="http://www.lyssymay.bigcartel.com/">now in store</a>). Just need the weather to co-operate!<br />

The big change that I am experimenting with is a big cartel store. This is part of a move to put more 'one only' designs on the site and this shopping cart option makes it easier for stock management. Plus the big cartel app allows the store to be integrated with facebook so hopefully it makes it easier for shoppers to see what's new and purchase all in the one place.<br />
<br />
I hope to build up the number of products listed over the coming weeks so there will be lots to browse by the time Christmas shopping rolls around.<br />
<br />
Anyway, that's been my Sunday's worth of work - I hope you've all had lovely weekends!Lyssy Mayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14879115141159041575noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683859155378873870.post-66288661563143939242011-09-25T18:34:00.000+10:002011-09-25T18:34:55.232+10:00Skipping alongOne of the many things I love about being based at Ironside Studios is you never know what will greet you when you arrive at the warehouse. With so many artists and designers there is always something to inspire and enjoy. Lately a scrap metal recycling skip has landed in the laneway which proved the perfect backdrop to take some images of some retro fabric clutch designs I've just finished...<br />

[Yes - I am still here!] Whilst browsing one of my most favourite Australian retailers - kikki-k - I stumbled across these hanger shaped paper clips that come in a cute glass jar. It reminded me of how at primary school we used to fold coloured paper clips into hearts and thread them onto our shoe laces and thought it was the height of coolness.

As I swirl the new ideas through my jet lagged brain I am excited about the inspiration I received from the art, music, beautifully hot summer days, the pace and the people. Expect these to be woven into some upcoming Lyssy May designs!<br />

Lyssy May is on holiday (mixed with a little business). I will be back from 18th July and will try and post the odd update on facebook. Hello NYC - I feel we might be good friends!<br />
