Guest Post: Mel Stringer's Lil' Shop.

Hi readers, Dane here from Tornadoes and Tigers. Recently Ilana and I were chatting about all the creativity out there, and we decided that I would share something with you all today.
I've been following Mel Stringer for some time now and thought you may all enjoy these little pieces above, along with a few of her new badges. Mel is based in Brisbane, Australia and creates Prints, Zines, Original Art, Brooches, PDF Paper Craft Ornaments and much much more.

You can find these item via her Etsy. Mel also has a blog where you can keep up to date on her works and inspiration.

Hello Beautiful people, I am Soné Moriarty and Ilana is one of my closest & most dearest friends. She is super creative, beautiful, adventurous & talented individual. Ilana & I go way back, we studied together, worked together, we where even each others bridesmaids. The next stage would be either living together or perhaps having kids together haha. It's fantastic to have such a great friendship in my life.

 Just to introduce myself a little bit to you today..I run a blog called Polli, and I am most excited to share some new & fresh inspiration to you all today! While Ilana is having a ball in Fiji, I will be looking after her other love in her life which is Flopsy (the cutest bunny alive) !! I am hoping to snap a few shots of her this week as she is just sooo yummy.

Have a great day !! :)

Love Polli

Guest Post: Oh My Cavalier!

Hi readers, my name is Dane and I write a blog called Tornadoes and Tigers.
Ilana has been a friend of mine for many years now, I studied graphic design with her a little while back and her husband was even a groomsman in my wedding!

Today I thought I'd share with you all Julianna Swaney of Oh My Cavalier! She is an illustrator and artist based in Portland Oregon, who is inspired by fairy tales, animals with sharp claws, antique ephemera and postcards among other things. Her Etsy shop offers a range of unique gift cards and tags. Also I'm really enjoying the mechanical animal paper dolls featured above : )

Anyway I hope you enjoy these goodies and are having an amazing week!

Thanks for having me Ilana

Hello lovelies, it's Liss here from Daydream Lily and I'm helping Ilana out with a guest post whilst shes away from the blog.

I thought I'd share with you all my new illustration love, Melbourne based Emma Leonard. Emma describes her works as "..being soft and feminine, and both controlled and spontaneous at the same time, often capturing a sense of fluidity and movement."




She also has a blog bones, braids and a bycicle and etsy shop.

Guest Post: Much Love

Hi all! This is Anna from the blog Much Love, and I'm here to do a guest post for Ilana while she's away :)

I want to share with you these cute drink coaster designs. Found on the site Pepper Sprouts, this set of four wooden coasters would add some fun to any coffee table, don't you think? The chair designs have been hand drawn and etched on the wood, while small pieces have been cut away.

Thanks for having me here Ilana! x

Hey there guys, my name is Emma from over at But Honestly. I'm delighted to guest post for the ever lovely Ilana as she frolics around Wellington, finding hidden nooks and crannies, having the time of her life!

I thought I'd share one of my favourite flickr finds lately. Such lovely warm, cozy photos! I don't know whether it's a nesting instinct kicking in or it's the time of year that we are in but lately I feel the need to snuggle! In a warm sun drenched room, with a good book, good fresh summer fruit and a warm spring breeze. Ahhh bliss! Usually one should feel like this as they approach the winter months, not the warmer ones? But I'm always more than happy to get cozy, whatever the time of year!

Hope you all have a relaxed, cozy start to the week!

Guest Post: Kelli Murray

Hello new world. This is Kelli Murray, in for Ilana as she is off on adventure! Thanks Ilana for having me!

So...I like to draw. If you have ever visited my blog, you probably know that. Art....illustration...design....it consumes me. One of the greatest things about blogging I've found is discovering new and amazing talents that I otherwise would have never known about. Everyday I am inspired by someone or something new. One thing I just can't get over is the artwork of the incredibly talented Lizzy Stewart. This girl is genius. She might (quite possibly) be my favorite right now. Can you tell she is a fan of pencils, cardigans, and Russian history?

Hop on over to her website. You will be sure to fall in love.
