So exciting, my favourite time of the year. I love the idea of hanging these pine cones - so pretty.

Via I do it yourself

emerald + ella prop sale

I've always loved styled table settings and lifestyle shoots, something I would love to photograph more of. Some great props I'd love to have on hand for some shoots are from emerald + ella who have such a wide variety of products to buy and hire. They're holding a sale this week with lots of the items on their prop hire page which would be a good time to collect and store goodies for future shoots. It's being held on the 18th, 19th and 20th November from 10am - 4pm in Sydney at the Woollahra Colleagues Rugby Club (see map here). More information about the sale here. For people out of Sydney they are also holding daily facebook auctions.

Christmas Wreath

This has got to be the most beautiful Christmas wreath I have ever seen. In fact I think I might be afraid to put this on my door in case someone steals this gorgeous magnolia wreath sold at Papier D'Amour, a gorgeous stationery store in Double Bay.

Christmas wrapping

As a big fan of stationery, gift wrapping and bows, I really appreciate it when someone gives their gifts a handmade touch to gift wrap their present. emerald + ella an online store that sells beautiful paper decorations, twine and gifts tags, a really easy way to creatively wrap your gifts for the festive season. Don't forget to check out the home ware items that they sell.

As a special Christmas offer, mention Silk Truffle at the checkout and receive a free pack of gift tags with your purchase from emerald + ella.

emerald + ella

Recently I came across a beautiful online store emerald + ella selling gorgeous items for the home as well as offering vintage props for stylist hire. Owned by former food stylist Jane Collings, the website is a pleasure to browse through from the gorgeous emerald + ella branding to all the beautiful items and images of the products which of course have been beautifully styled. Small things like the black and white twine tied on the wooden cutlery make me smile. I would love to do a styled shoot one day with Jane's beautiful trinkets.

Candles

One of my fave candle brands is Glasshouse Fragranges. They have such a range of beautiful colours and flavours packaged in beautiful boxes which is perfect for gifts! The candle smell is so beautiful and strong, it the scent fills the entire room.

The most recent one I have is the caramel.. which makes the whole house (yes house) smell so yummy, Even when its not burning you can still smell it!

Candy Jars

How gorgeous are these Glass Canisters / Candy Jars. I want to buy them but I wonder what I'll use them for. Maybe I'll have to have a tea party and fill these with gorgeous sweets.
