Take a look at these handmade tags I found on Etsy from maxandbella. They're US$3.25 + postage for a set of 6. The perfect way to spruce up a dull notebook. I think I'll use them on glass jars to label the contents.

Only Orla
Flavour of the year it seems is Orla Kiely, a UK based designer. Her line has grown to include everything from fashion to bags, homeware and stationery. These divine purses carry her signature print and would make smashing bridesmaid's gifts - why not get one for yourself while you're there - they do ship internationally.

In a While Crocodile
As a stationery enthusiast, I'm always looking for opportunities to design new pieces. On the weekend I designed some baby notecards for our London Calling correspondent, Elizabeth, who had a gorgeous baby boy a couple of weeks ago. Notecards can be used for so many different purposes - as thank you cards for gifts received, for Christening announcements or invitations to birthday parties so I'm sure they'll come in handy.
I found an illustration of a royal-looking alligator in one of my many clip art books and thought it looked regal enough to match his very English name. Elizabeth loves bright colours, so green it is. Matched with some coloured envelopes and tied with a pretty striped ribbon, they look so sweet.

Changing Spots
I am loving leopard print at the moment - can't get enough of it - so was thrilled to see the new Kate Spade range includes lots of lovely spots. Of course, everyone knows, the trick to pulling off this look is restraint with a capital 'R'. Use leopard print sparingly - one piece at most - and it will finish any outfit. Take your pick...

Lovely Liberty
Ever since I can remember I have adored these heavenly fabrics. It wasn't until I travelled to London and visited the Liberty store I truly appreciated its history. Established by Arthur Liberty in 1875, the first incarnation of the shop stocked decorative pieces, fabrics and objets d'art. It has since grown to accommodate furniture, fashion and beauty products. I can't help but adore Liberty fabrics and can think of a trillion ways to use them. Maybe it's my longing for spring, but these are a few of my favourites today...

Many of the fabrics can be purchased in Australia (google for suppliers) but they do ship internationally (except for furniture) if something else from their exquisite range of products catches your eye. I do hope they inspire you too.

St Ives to the Rescue
Following on from the huge success of St Ives Apricot Scrubs a new range of facial masks have been released. I was lucky enough to receive the range on my desk and as a willing guinea pig I happily took them home and gave them a whirl. I tried the Mineral Clay Firming Mask and was amazed that it actually did what it said it was going to do! My skin felt firmer and now feels so nice and soft.
The range consists of the Mineral Clay Firming Mask, the Apricot Exfoliating Mask - Invigorating, and the Peel Off Hydroxy Mask - Deep Cleansing. The range is avilable now from all major supermarkets and selected pharmacies www.stives.com.
