Pinks and Green

I loved the Pinks and Green stand at The Country Living Fair as it was so bright and colourful! Zoe, of Pinks and Green, is crazy about Danish design house Rice* and boy, does it show.

The store is stocked full of bright, colourfully printed, functional melamine cups, plates and bowls; funky, kitsch, brightly coloured duck watering cans and pretty pastel ornate candle stick holders and kitchen roll holders; decorative rafia kids toy boxes in a range of themes from the circus to the zoo. For outside, there are the cheeky gnome candles and funky fly swatters. Picnics will get brighter with the fun cocktail glasses and giant decorative velvet floor cushions.

Have a sweet day!

Easter Paints

Last week I took my Easter sketchbook with me to The Ideal Home Show so that I could get a couple of colours mixed up for me at Dulux. The nice gentleman at Dulux scanned a pink bird from my Bird Trail fabic and the colour was Flamingo Fun - don't you just love the name!

As soon as I got home I tried them out on my bird houses, plastic eggs and wooden butterflies. I love the colours and they are a perfect match! Thanks Dulux.

Have a sweet day!
