Celestial intervention

I've been looking for the perfect accent for a little colour themed display I'd created a couple of weeks ago using books so I was pretty happy to spot this 'Billy Button' bottle vase by Angus and Celeste at the Fed Square market on the weekend. I've been spying their beautiful ceramics for a while - the hardest part is choosing!

Markit this weekend

If you are in Melbourne this weekend you may want to pop by Markit @ Fed Square featuring lots of fabulous wares. I am excited to be going to a market as a shopper for a change! My main reason to visit though is to see my favourite jewellery designer from Queensland -  Nicole from Hot Toffee . I think I will have to treat myself to yet another pair of her beautiful handmade earrings. Take a peek here.

Singapore daydream

This time last year I was wandering lazily through the beautiful Orchid Gardens in Singapore so today I have been flicking through my holiday snaps like this one.

I am reminded I should make more of an effort to have my digital photos printed and create some good old fashioned photo albums...like these 'beautiful accordion style design influenced by the horizontal scrolls and folding screens of traditional Japanese art' found online at Notemaker.

Save the Date - open studio

Lyssy May will be opening its doors for you to come and check out our studio and designs on Saturday June 18th from 10 AM to 2 PM. We'd love to see you there! 

Bag adventures by Esther Frieda

How fantastic are these photographic prints? Entitled 'Bag Adventures' they are the creations of Melbourne photographer Esther Frieda.

'Party Girl' (above) will soon be adorning the walls at Lyssy May's studio - yay!

Birthday Brooches for All...

Lyssy May has just turned 8! My little girl is celebrating by sending all our lovely customers a handmade fabric brooch for any orders received before the end of May. Nominate your favourite colour during checkout to ensure you have something extra special for you.

Thanks to my beloved customers and supporters for an amazing 8 years - it's been a truly special journey and I am excited to see what else lies ahead for this little label.

Odd Molly

Lyssy May has long been a fan of Odd Molly (Stockholm). This gorgeous damask number with embroidered detail is on my most coveted list for an upcoming adventure to escape the Winter.

New Stockists - West and South

I have been remiss in updating Tassie and WA readers that Lyssy May designs are now available at Embellish (Launceston) and Out on a Limb Eco Design Store (Perth). Both stores are run by savvy ladies with an eye for the unique. Would love the chance to pop in myself soon!

 Out on a Limb Eco Design Store - 194 Whatley Cr, Perth

Embellish - 157 Brisbane St, Launceston

Happy Mothers Day

Special wishes to all the Mums today. This is a favourite pic of mine once taken in my Grandmother's kitchen. It encapsulates a lot of the joy our family gatherings here particularly amongst the lineage of females - home baking in the cake tins, cups of tea and sunlight streaming in the window with lots of conversation and laughs. I hope you have a few moments of simple pleasures today.
