babyology has always been good to draw! pilgrim (click over and say hi) and i’m happy to share with you their fabulous bugaboo donkey charity auction.

by auctioning off the very first Aernout Dijkstra-Hellinga signed bugaboo donkey pram in the world, babyology are raising funds for (Bugaboo)RED a charity that has already provided vital medication to over 70,000 pregnant women. with more than one thousand children born HIV-positive every day, bugaboo is committed to reduce this figure to zero in 2015 and realizing an AIDS free generation.

for ALL the info, visit babyology and the auction is live now until 21 September 2011. good luck to you and to babyology on this excellent cause!

i’ve been sick in bed for almost a week. its some kind of nasty virus. there was a fever and chills and a lot of sleeping and i basically felt like someone came and drained all the ‘pilgrim’ outta me. thankfully a few days in bed and a quick spin through the internet invigorated me. oh and i just had some pizza which really seemed to help!

so if you’re feeling a bit shabby too, why not check out these groovy things and see if it makes you feel better too!

so, please don’t yell at me, but i’m going to have to skip 7by7 again this week because the weather’s turned here and i’m a busy working beaver. i’m quite sure no one wants to see 3 months of photos of my desk, so while i’ll do intermittent 7by7′s, for now its no longer a weekly thing. instead i’ll mix it up a bit and maybe find a new groove, but for today i thought i’d share a few cool links i’ve come across recently.

i don’t ride a bike, but if i did it would have to look like this remixed ‘art bike’

my fascination with california still hasn’t withered, and this old map from the 20s (from the book the american film industry by tino balio) has only inspired me to explore more. it was used by the studios for location shoots and the diversity of california’s landscape was what helped it to become the epicentre for movie makers.

yesterday grain edit blew. my. mind. i’ve seen peter petrake by miguel calatayud before but this book is incredible. its pretty much how i need my environment to look. so if someone could make that happen, i’d be very grateful.

i’m not a wedding dress girl, but this dress makes me rethink weddings, doilies, and colored underskirts. phew. too much thinking! i need a lie down.

two of my favourite words: retro fonts. yes please.

take a look at the charming vintage illustration work of naiad and walter einsel

and lastly, be mesmerized by the kaleidoscopic lumière brother’s hand colored film of ‘the serpentine dance’

as i was randomly wandering around the internet i discovered this amazing bedroom furniture set on retro renovation (i vicariously live through that fab blog)! please click through to see more pictures, its just incredible. the flowers, the typographic details, the awesome telephone booth seat!! excuse me.. i’m having a seizure of furniture related joy.

i see these sorts of vintage things online and just about hyperventilate. australia really doesn’t have treasures like this. our small population has always meant a small range of consumer goods and so teenage bedrooms of the 60s were furnished pretty traditionally. there is no way something this far-out and groovy would’ve been mass produced here. so three cheers for the internet for giving me a peek into the hippest, grooviest teenage room styles of the american teen!

and now, if you’ll excuse me, i’ll continue that furniture-joy seizure…

hi there, welcome to a new week. how was your weekend? monday was a holiday in melbourne, for labour day, so its been a slow start to the week here. we had crazy storms all weekend with giant hail and flooding and all kinds of chaos, so i think a day off was definitely what the city needed. summer definitely ended with a bang… and a splash!

speaking of endings, i’ve finished up the blogging your way course and i wanted to share with you some of the fab blogs i ‘met’ in the last 7 weeks. this course was such an excellent experience. it was run by holly becker of decor8 ‘fame’ and you couldn’t find a more genuine, supportive and pragmatic teacher if you tried. there is word that the course will be run again later this year so keep your eye on decor8 for news. its worth every penny!

so onto some of my fellow BYW graduates! this is just a fraction of all the participants, but these ladies made an extra special impression on me.



allison of bigprint little is a fellow melburnian and illustrator. her blog is all dreamy colors and textures cataloguing her inspiration, ideas and work. pop over and see what she’s whipped up for house and garden magazine.


simple blueprint is one very clean and elegant blog filled with eye candy. go visit and tell me your eyes don’t absolutely pig out on all that pretty! i dare ya!



here we have another antipodean blog (that’s a fancy word for ‘aussie’). gift tags and garlands, oh my! go have a look at the gorgeous paper goods on paperklip design. did i mention there are garlands? ah, lovely!



emily from sassy smolak is a girl with a blog full of great! i definitely enjoy seeing what treasures she’s found and she seems to have that magic blogging skill that eludes me: brevity! and there’s pictures! and she’s nice! yay!



artlovejoy, another australian with a great eye for loveliness, and a penchant for crocheting too! her crochet squares are prettier than mine… i think this is what’s known as square envy.



and lastly but not leastly, modern kiddo! i may be a bit biased on account of being their designer, but alix and dottie make this a blog not to be missed. incredible vintage finds, cute kids, this blog makes it a breeze to style your sprog (that’s a child, to you un-british folk. isn’t it a great word?)

speaking of great words, i’m tagging this post ‘blogflog’ because i’m sick of the whole ‘blog love’ phrase. i want to really spruik these blogs to you, i like them, so you should visit them, ergo i am ‘flogging’ them to you. its a bit of a colloquialism crash course here today. i blame cumulative lack of sleep and impending mind loss!




have you seen modern kiddo, the new children’s clothing blog from strawberry lemonade’s alex tyler and her friend dottie? it is the place to find cute and quirky duds for the small person in your life. if you read strawberry lemonade you’ll know what amazing taste alex has, so you won’t be disappointed in the fab finds on modern kiddo.

it was quite the honor for me to design their banners, and what could be better than having the best dressed kid on the block without any of the legwork?!




Alexander Girard (1907–1993) is one of the greatest colorists, pattern makers, environmental and exhibition designers of the 20th century. Hired by Herman Miller in1952, he led the company’s textile division where he brought color and life to the modern furniture creations of George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames.

built + alexander girard features really practical bags and pouches in alexander girard’s eye popping classic designs, plus they come with a cute ‘love’ heart charm! how can you resist?
