Sweet Dreams

I was the happy recipient of these gorgeous pillowcases from Third Drawer Down this Christmas. The beautiful illustrated image is by Dylan Martorell of Melbourne. The mythological scene extends over the two pillow cases making them a perfect pair and makes for creative dreams.

Fins, Kingscliff

It's not often that we write about food but we couldn't resist reviewing Fins at Salt Village. Up in Kingscliff of Northern NSW you'll find this small but impressive restaurant. You can enjoy a decadent degustation or just posh take away fish and chips to eat on the nearby beach. We did both in the one day and this vegetarian was even turned to soft shell crab (below)...

The fish is line caught locally and the chef, Steven Snow, uses organic produce where possible. The wine menu boasts local and portugese wines, some organic and biodynamic!


Well deserving of its chef's hats accolades, top notch!

Bloody Beautiful Bangalow

Just a few kilometres further south we found Bangalow. The main street - Byron Street - was home to so many beautiful stores and window displays! The Little Booktree book shop with its Babar hot air balloon display and even the local Pharmacy had a beautiful window display of perfume and Missoni beach towels!Island Luxe (above) had a beautiful range of fashion and homewares in neutral colour ways. We especially liked the ceramic vessels (below), these native inspired pieces can be used as a vase or just a sculpture to admire.

Further up the street we came past Wax Jambu (below) with its beautiful striped deck chairs.

Obsession (below) with a great range of summer shoes including the latest Campers.

Aurora (below); "a store full of sustainable products has been able to flourish with emerging environmental consciousness of designers, suppliers, and most importantly, customers."

The precious Little Peach (below) with a beautiful range of Japanese collectables and embossed prints from Tuesday Designs . We've contact the girls from Tuesday Designs and hope to do a posting on their work soon...

And finally Heart of the Home (below) with a great range of Summer 'Sunny' products for the beach and home.

Beautiful Byron

While on the road we ducked down to Northern NSW and drove through the beautiful Byron Bay (and past the BIGGEST Avocado!).

Here we popped in on a Polli stockist Pure Byron (below), they've got every conceivable salt scrub available - no excuse for not exfoliating! - plus new printed eco bags from envirosax. We also checked out Greenhouse around on Fletcher Street who have a great range of giftware, jewellery and homewares.

Found.

We flew north this Christmas to the glorious Gold Coast. While up near Burleigh we stumbled across a great little shop called Found. Found had a great collection of refurbished furniture, cute tees and great wooden toys from Plan Toys.

Why Knott

The beautifully detailed and botanically inspired work of David Knott has been admired by Polli for several years now. The Lotus light (above) has a 'combination of traditional ornamentation with modern materials and processes...what some would term Technoramanticism'.

These designs, such as the new Dracaena light above, are so adaptable they are equally at home in a large commercial installation or hanging over a residential dining room table for an intimate meal. What's Knott to love?
