creating a covetable brand

i am off to this workshop tonight.

should be fab.

'Branding is not just about the font you choose for your logo - although that's important. It's also about the way you communicate your core values to others. You need to be clear and consistent, and so this workshop will give you all the tools you need.'

super!  and not a moment too soon.

giddyup

it's snowing here this morning.  it also snowed yesterday.  i live on a mountain 1 hour and 10minutes out of sydney and it snows!  statistics that never cease to amaze me!  

consequently, i am spending lots of time at my desk,.  making contacts for the new business..  designing business cards.  thinking strategy..  business development.. planning,.  planning.. planning.

i must admit, the more i get into it, the more excited i am about launching back into the world of events.

i can now tell everyone that the new business name is

show.pony

we will concentrate on quirky, bespoke one off events.  something left of centre.  something guests have never seen before.

it. will. be. amazing.

for now, my contact details remain the same, and i will update you all with the show.pony details when the time comes.

who wants to book us for the first, official show.pony event?  book launch?  private party?  media hoo-haa?

call.

arabian nights

when we moved to the mountains, the first thing i bought was a persian daybed.

i had been eyeing it off for months, and finally had the perfect place for it.  next to a roaring fire, of course!  

i bought it from a place in newtown, called afghan interiors.

to be honest, i'm no longer loving it. so much red velvet.  doesn't really work for me.

tragically, it has become the 'labra-bed', as our labrador, hazel has decided that she rather likes languishing in front of an open fire.

as you do.

that is, until i saw my 'labra-bed' in this months issue of home beautiful magazine.

look how amazing it looks when you cover it with some different fabrics on the bolsters, some gorgeous clashy cushions, and, the piece de resistance, a table tonic vintage moroccan wedding blanket.

(a table tonic vintage moroccan wedding blanket is now on my lust-have list!).

a couple of table tonic moroccan pouffes would seal the deal.

and, don't get me started on the berber rugs!

i also popped in to orson & blake in woollahra on friday and bought this divine 'suzani' plate.

so, at least the labrador will have something gorgeous to eat her dinner off when she officially gets kicked off the labra-bed!
