Have a Seat: House Doctor DK Stools

Speaking of Bodie and Fou, I can't seem to get enough of furniture made with steel and recycled wood lately, and most definitely can't miss posting about these stools they've recently stocked from House Doctor DK. Loving the powder-coated colours, gives it an updated feel from the basic. Each seat has "have a seat" stamped onto it.

The plates are in stock at Bodie and Fou on November 15th, which you can pre-order now. And if you can't wait for that date, maybe some of his Your Job Tape will fill the void (available at his Etsy Shop till then.

Hula Seventy: Fall Polaroid Week

Jodi McKee

It's Fall 'Roid Week over at Flickr and there's so much goodness in the pool I can't help but share a few of my favorites. I know, I know-- it seems like I just shared favorites from Spring 'Roid Week but that's time for you, people. And you know what they say about time. It flies.

I think what I love most about 'Roid Week is seeing all the different cameras and instant films people use-- from expired polaroid to fuji instax to the exciting new instant films from The Impossible Project, there's no end to the variety. And there's no end to the inspiration.

Casual Chic Wedding Flowers

We created some beautiful wedding bouquets recently for one of our gold coast brides. They had a gorgeous, earthy feel with a light, loose style. The bouquets featured glacier white roses, freesia, chincherinch and anemones.

At Your Leisure - Issue 2

I was so excited to hear, the folks at j3 productions have finally published Issue #2 of At Your Leisure, a special project "zine" that's got a little fashion, some graphics, some house tours and a whole lotta eye candy.

At Your Leisure is j3 production's little labor of love project. They work on it in between projects and their goal is to make 4 of these, each one with a specific theme. Issue #2's theme revolves around "vision".

As with Issue 1, Issue 2 is a limited edition. They only made 500 copies (up from 250 from #1- yay!) #2 is 70 pages. Each issue is hand numbered, and includes a small free surprise gift.

They're not calling At Your Leisure a "magazine", but categorizing it simply as a "zine". It's their version of those old handmade independent publications that we all used to love in the 80's and 90s. j3 production's mission with it is just to inspire, pay homage to those that inspire them, and also showcase those individuals that live what they love and the creative spaces they call home.

It can be purchased directly through their website here and more of a sneak peek can be seen here.

Beautiful books are always a great option... they're the kind of thing that many people love to receive but might hesitate to buy for themselves.
