I think I've just found my new favourite beverage! I am totally smitten with this Elderflower Pressé by Belvoir Fruit Farms. It really has quite an unusual flavour and is bubbly and refreshing- perfect for a sunny summer afternoon. I don't even know what an Elderflower is, but I thank god for it.

And yes, the packaging is heavenly and quite possibly a contributing factor to my reverence for this product. I am now really keen to try the other flavours in the series. Melbournites- you can find these at The Essential Ingredient in Prahran Market.

Love these fun, home made printers block stamps by The Upcycler.

Wooden thread bobbin handles- how inspired!! Check out the article here. Such a great DIY idea!

Also love these Toothbrush Holders found at Baileys Home and Garden (via Follow Studio)

How fun and fresh is the use of typography in this collection of children's table linen titled "Mangeur Masque".  Designed by Cécile Gonnard for Grain de Couleur Création. (Personally, I think these make great gifts for 'big' kids too!) Cécile was also the talented designer behind the Woodblock Napkins.

Ooh... and while we're on the subject of Anthropologie, aren't these Woodblock Napkins fantastic? I want!!

Although the idea has been around for awhile I still think that using typography around the home is a fantastic decorating idea as it provides such an effective focal point. I love these replica wooden printer's letter blocks from Sage Inspired by Life found on Not on the High Street.

I'm really digging some of the hand-drawn lettering goodness coming out of Australia these days- especially from Grill'd. Their takeaway menu (above) and the wall art in their stores (below) are simply awesome! For more of their illustrative/typographical craziness check out their website.  If anyone knows the illustrator responsible for this, please let me know!

I'm also a huge fan of the Hudsons Coffee wall art by Kleimeyer Industries (below). All very inspirational! :)

Despite the winter chill, it's a beautiful sunny day so I took a stroll in search of inspiration! Down at Greville St Bookstore I found this gorgeous card form Chronicle Books (below) which is a bird illustration printed onto an excerpt of a book published by Chronicle. I also stopped by Mag Nation and picked up a copy of Issue 3 of Peppermint Magazine (above) which has a very cute article about the Australian DIY phenomenon and how the craft blogging community has helped to facilitate the new craze. (Love the article's handmade title graphics!) Peppermint Mag is about eco-friendly fashion- lots of craft/handmade goodness in this issue. Definitely worth a look.

As a typography obsessive, this little piece of home decorating genius from Bookhou is very much my type of wallhanging. (excuse the bad pun). For little kids and big kids (such as myself) alike :)
