Dress up your transport card

Its been a while coming but the integrated smart card 'myki' is now available on all Melbourne public transport and I have to say I am loving not having to worry about whether I have a ticket or coins on me. One less hassle in my day and a couple of trees saved from paper tickets! To mark the occasion 2 new oilcloth cardholders are now available in the online store - London Bus and NY Subway.

Life Instyle Melbourne

It has been an exciting time for Lyssy May as the new designs are taking shape for Spring/Summer. Part of the new collection will include a collaboration with Thea and Sami. Last Tuesday night I popped by Thea's stand at the Life Instyle trade show here in Melbourne. It looked amazing! (my apologies that my photos are a tad on the blurry side).

The hardworking team - Voyt and Thea

One of the best things about working in this industry is the people you meet. It just so happened that Thea's neighbour at the show was Nicole from Hot Toffee. Nicole's fused glass designs continue to delight me with her combination of colours and shapes.

Fab Fab Fabric

At the last Modish Market it was lovely to receive a visit from Nic (of Yardage Design). She had a sweet surprise for me of a gift of 3 of her beautiful fabric designs - how lucky am I?! Yardage Design is celebrating 12 months of blogging - congrats Nic on a gorgeous blog and thanks so much for the thoughtful pressie. The hard part is choosing how to use these lovelies.

Sunny Sunday

It's been a gorgeous winter's afternoon so I have indulged in spending some time in a little suntrap in my lounge room with a cup of tea and some mags and thought I should inspect my plants on the balcony. I am very impressed with the progress of my mint which was suffering from frosty mornings. The solution to use a wooden crate turned on its side to give it a little hidey hole has worked a treat!

I hope you are feeling relaxed and ready for the week ahead. It will be a busy one at the sewing machine for Lyssy May. x

High Tea wrap up

It was a lovely weekend at The High Tea Party at the historic Windsor Hotel here in Melbourne. Ladies sipped champagne, were pampered and gossiped to their hearts content - bliss!

Here are a couple of snaps of the Lyssy May stand. It was lovely to mingle and to meet so many lovely people over the weekend - it was worth the early morning starts!

The Lyssy May life size shopper girl helped out carrying a basket full of travel bags - she loved having a couple of days out of the studio!
