dowerin field days

August 22nd, 2011

Ooooo it’s time.….……

Will be going to the Dow­erin Field Days this week on Wed 24th & Thur 25th to pro­mote Perth Upmar­ket and, of course, my Tamara Har­ri­son Design creations.

On show will be my brand new wed­ding line of jew­ellery, includ­ing the fast sell­ing out bou­quets, Bronze Up Baby range, Crushed Wire pieces and a full array of my sig­na­ture designs.

Also avail­able will be Wed­ding Upmar­ket 2011 Wed­ding Guides for $5.00 for those who may have missed the Wed­ding Upmar­ket on Sat­ur­day the 13th.

I will take plenty of pic­tures and will post over the com­ing weeks.

PS. I just love the trac­tor in the Dow­erin image!

wedding upmarket a raging success

August 16th, 2011

So Sat­ur­day was a bril­liant day. Blue sunny sky, warm but not too hot, Swan river in all her glo­ri­ous blue­ness and fan­tas­tic stall­hold­ers and vis­i­tors alike.

Here are some images from the day.

Me as usual with mouth open!

The very beau­ti­ful Michelle wear­ing the neck­piece that is miss­ing from dis­play in pre­vi­ous image. Whoops, didn’t shuf­fle stall too well did I! Michelle was just one of the roam­ing mod­els that did a fan­tas­tic job on the day.

Cus­tom made wire bou­quet frame so brides can make their own bou­quet. See the water in the back­ground? Beau­ti­ful isn’t it?

More will be posted soon!

favourite things day seven

August 3rd, 2011

Hmm­m­m­m­mmm, I realised that a man­i­fes­ta­tion of what goes on in my head is pinned up on my inspi­ra­tion board in my favourite room of the house — the studio.

Want to see it???

Here it is, un-edited, true, hon­est (read as: not all tidied up just for the photo!)

THE board in all it’s glory

 

Cro­cheted bird nest on branch. Laser cut wood keys

 

This old tag was in a jar of old bolts and bits that Dad gave me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mya’s foot­print .…awwww

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isn’t it won­der­ful that the things that inspire us are most usu­ally free!! (or very cost effec­tive anyway!)

 

 

 

 

i love pretty things

July 26th, 2011

Have you dis­cov­ered the amaz­ing site ‘I Love pretty Things’?

Well who of us doesn’t love pretty things????.…… and there is a won­der­ful col­lec­tion of just that, put together by Kelly Exeter.

She is the owner and Cre­ative Direc­tor of Swish Design, a Perth based graphic and web design com­pany. Being a girl and a designer, she LOVES pretty things.

Read her story here. Kelly reviews pretty much any­thing that is pretty and she espe­cially loves review­ing Aus­tralian busi­nesses cre­ated by Aus­tralian mums.

I love her Pretty Direc­tory where you can dis­cover some amaz­ing design­ers. Some, I think, fall into the best kept secret cat­e­gory. Lets keep them a secret no more!!

Here are just a cou­ple of things Kelly would hang in the win­dow if she had a shop.….. just beautiful!

Vin­tage World Atlas Paper Cir­cle Gar­land found on Etsy

Have fun explor­ing the world of ‘I Love Pretty Things’ and thank you Kelly for bring­ing it to us!

ruby red bouquet

July 26th, 2011

I can’t seem to get enough of vin­tage music sheet blooms. These ones are hand cut, hand made by me with lit­tle red but­ton centres.

Imag­ine how won­der­ful it could be for your chil­dren and grand­chil­dren to have a non tra­di­tonal flower bou­quet as an heir­loom in the family!

What do you think?

Would you (or did you) carry some­thing other than fresh flow­ers for your wedding?

I would love to hear your stories.

The red wire fea­ture in this bou­quet is my favourite part!

something new we’re working on

July 17th, 2011

What are your thoughts on this style of bridal bou­quet? Your feed­back really helps me fine tune designs so please leave a comment.

It is hand­made fea­tur­ing new and vin­tage but­tons, beads, fresh water pearls and hand cut, hand made, vin­tage music sheet flowers.

It’s the details that make the dif­fer­ence. See the tiny keys? Keys to your heart.….….….….….….….….….……Awwww.

favourite things day six

July 14th, 2011

Thanks to my lovely sis and the loan of her cam­era, fav things is back!!

Now how can I get to day six and not have men­tioned flow­ers? Flow­ers and I go back 20+ years as a career and even fur­ther into my child­hood as Nana was always cut­ting blooms from their gar­den and arrang­ing them around her house.

Here are some around my house at the moment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Kale (above) looks like a rose but it is from the cab­bage family!
