Up Up and Away

Today I am starting my long journey back to the UK to attend the two Christmas show, I think I may have told you about those before?
have a four hour car trip down to the city and then hang around the airport to wait for my midnight flight, 7 hours before a couple of hours stop over in Hong Kong, the next leg of my journey 13 hours to London. Fortunately my home and cats are just 30 minutes away from Heathrow so I can collapse into bed with my two cats and sleep. I have missed them so much and James has been there everyday looking after them or should I say spoiling them.

I will try and post again in a few days and show you the stand set up, it's a huge space we have in the centre of the Spirit of Christmas show which I am excited and nervous about all at the same time. I have had bespoke shop furniture made and will be setting the stand up as if it was a boutique store. The dressers, tables and bespoke wooden card racks will be available for stores to order shortly, all white and shabby chic.
Cavania shop fittings what ever next I must be mad!
See you in London xxx

Stunning Paper Art

Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2009








Headdresses by Katsuya Kamo dreamlike visions in mostly white made from standard printer paper.




Monochrome arrangements of roses, daisies, leaves and petals winding their way up and around the room’s 32 columns and draped over the railings of the entry stairway where the models appeared. 84 round tables with their tablecloths and paper bouquets. There were 7000 handmade paper flowers, which took a total of 4800 hours of work to assemble. 4000 m2 of paper were needed to create the sculptures.

Underwater Art

THE Cancun and Isla Mujeres Underwater Art Museum has revealed a spectacular new addition - 400 human statues. Created by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor, the sculptures were made using “life casts of real people”. Created with PH neutral concrete, the sculptures will allow algae and small invertebrates to flourish, boosting the local ecosystem. The appearance of the sculptures will change over time as the coral reefs and marine life grow.

The museum plans to install more than 400 concrete sculptures off the coast of Mexico from artists around the world.

Florals, never enough

Feeling like covering everything in the house in colour today and what better then florals. Country garden florals with a twist of vintage perfect for a lazy afternoon sipping ice tea and a slice of lemon cake. You know what I will be looking for this weekend whilst garage sale'ing........
