stix & flora : a splash of colour for the garden and home

I'm not much of a gardener. In fact I think the last plant I put in the ground was probably 20 years ago!! However now that I have seen these pretty little pot plants I all of a sudden want to go to Bunnings and buy some plants...

STIX & FLORA pots are all handmade by Julie & Emily, who describe their product as follows :

"S T I X & FLORA – Gorgeous, bright plant pouches handcrafted from stunning fabric.

Choose from an extensive range of quirky designs & tropical hues.

Pop one on your desk, bedside table or on your bench top to brighten & energise your space.

Our lovely pouches are the perfect home for succulents (the non-gardener’s best friend!).

Our product comes in 4 different sizes to bunch together in sitting or hanging arrangements. "

We stumbled across these pretty little things on Instagram and the best part is they are really affordable! They come in sizes XS - S - M - L and start from $19.95.

Such a clever and simple way to put some colour in your garden, courtyard or home!

All orders are done via email at stixandflora@gmail.com as their website is currently under construction.

Hmmmm now what colours do I want??

Happy gardening,

F xx

some love for the home

If you're anything like me and have a slight obsession with fun cushions and all things pretty for your home then take a look at these guys...

Mynd Interiors are based in the bayside suburb of Mentone, VIC & have so many beautiful, fun things for your home. Local colourful designs and artwork fill the walls and floor with everything from cushions to candles, furniture to French soaps, artwork to accessories - they have it all! And the best thing is you can purchase it all online.

Here are some favourites :

small space living

We both currently reside in small spaces.

There will be blog posts to come about how we have managed to make our spaces functional, but here are some 'must haves' for living in a small space.

. A small couch with chaise. a couch with chaise can act as a bit of a room divider for those in a studio.

. A bar table. having a bar table instead of a standard sized table creates the illusion of space. This is what we are after in a small apartment!

. A moveable island bench.

. An ikea expedit bookshelf. This item is very multifunctional and a must have for storage.

. Extra storage for the bathroom. most smaller apartments have limited shelving space. a fun trolley can help to create more storage as well as brighten up the space.

. A luxury candle.
