it's the little things
I walk often. 5km, 10km or in place of catching a tram that would only be a 10 minute trip. Travel by foot & you get to see things you wouldn't notice if you were speeding past on transport of any kind. Today I walked 10km with friend & we saw many beautiful things. A brushtail curled up with her baby, in a shrub at eye level right next to the path - so close we could've pat them but didn't disturb their midday slumber. There were blue wrens, lizards & colourful beetles & the softest clouds floated above. I came across a feather, with a strip of green & a yellow splotch, resting on the grass. I bought it home . . . a treasured piece of nature too beautiful to leave behind.
Not searching for it, not expecting it, not wanting . . . it just appeared on our path.
An unexpected gift that put a smile on my face.
It now rests in a tiny glass bottle I found in much the same way, 25 years ago. I was in my teens & exploring the back streets of my neighbourhood that was once a bustling suburb filled with merchants & manufacturing in the late 1800s. As I walked past a rubbled car-park behind an old building I noticed the bottle poking out of the dirt, its amber glass glowing in the sunlight. Another treasure found without expectation.
It's these little things, the objects & their moment of discovery, that bring joy.
timber kitchenware back in stock
hand-carved spreaders & spatulas

apple wood spatula & its beautiful grain . . .
perfect for use with non-stick pans
spreaders carved from the same birch tree

once air-dried, the wood is hand-carved then coated with edible oil
all handmade with love in Melbourne

reverse your Ruby
for those of you lucky enough to own one of these
Ruby Pilven half-moon necklaces . . .
you may have noticed how beautiful they are on the reverse side . . .
so flip those babies around for a softer organic look
please note, that perfume can affect the lustre . . .
so if you want to reverse your Ruby
make sure to dab your No.5 or Coco on your wrists
not on your decolletage !

first new goods for 2015
new tumblers & winged creatures
are the first creations to arrive for the new year
large dark turquoise tumblers by Susan Simonini . . .
the image doesn't do this colour justice!
each tumbler is hand-sculpted - pinched & coiled, not wheel-thrown
$35 / also available in aqua & white
pairs of winged Dugongs - exclusive to Falling for Florin
the second collab with Sydney artist, Emma Kidd aka Benconservato!
each creature is drawn freehand then cut & handpainted . . .
& the thoughtful details are just lovely!
of course there's more Ruby Pilven porcelain rings in stock
& there were more half-moon necklaces but they sell so fast . . .
there'll be more arriving end of the month :)
there'll be a beautiful new collection of ceramics arriving early in the year,
& some more exciting collabs in the works.
I look forward to introducing you
to some more super-talented Australian artists this year!
