Have you taken the pledge yet? I just did and feel like spreading the word from the tops of the trees! This is a collaboration of nine prominent forces in the creative world including the likes of etsy, design sponge and The American Craft Council. Although American, I think its very apt to our shores in here in Australia. Their aim is to get people shopping and purchasing handmade products rather than shopping in the large chain stores. So spread the word and get people to take the pledge at Buy Handmade today!

Two loves this morning. I was recommended to the blog 1 Decor8 through my friend Amanda who has also started her own blog, blog 2 weekend host. So I thought I would mention both, but again you must really check them out to really appreciate each one.


Blog 1: weekend host, Amanda’s blog, showcases some great entertaining ideas, as well as beautiful images of design, styling and fashion. Its a great read and source of inspiration (see above images).



Blog 2: Decor8, is by the very talented and ever inspiring Holly Becker. Launched in 2006, it has over 25,000 visitors A DAY and there’s no argument to see why!
“everything from sofas to stationery along with product reviews, reader discounts, contests, interviews, store and home tours, do-it-yourself projects, and trade show coverage. Topics on small business ownership, blogging, and independent design are also discussed and meant to encourage and engage readers.”
Its definitely the first stop on my morning blog rounds, and I think it should be yours as well!

One of my favourite home design magazines Inside Out has recently launched their blog. Now I won’t have to wait longingly for each issue and savor every page, instead get my fix everyday on their blog!
Plus, if anyone bought this month’s issue they would have received the fabulous free gift (and who doesn’t love something for nothing, especially when its beautifully designed!). A eco-gorgeous hemp bag organiser designed by Grace Lee, one of the Inside Out designers.
So thank you Inside Out and Grace, my ipod/gloss/phone/sunnies/keys/etc now can be found in an instance rather than a hour of shaking and muttering to myself!

I am in awe of a new and exciting blog which I’ve been recommended to by a friend. So much so, I had to share: decor8
Founder and Editor Holly Becker is a writer and interior design consultant who splits her time between New Hampshire and Germany, and “is a design blog dedicated to sharing decorating ideas, interiors, independent art and design, products and services, and to inspire readers to live a more fulfilling, creative life”. Something I truly believe in and inspired by.
