Hello there!

It's been a while since I posted, a lot of uni work and general business. I have started a blog to publish my university work. So far the work I have uploaded is a little old but the new work will be uploaded this week when I can get into the photographic studio.

I'll also be posting regularly with content similar to this blog, so it's well worth you following me or subscribing to the new RSS feed.

Perpetual Black Desk Top Calendar - £27.95 from Melody Maison

Melody Maison is a gorgeous online store specialising in shabby chic and french style furniture. The amazing desk top calendar (above) is currently out of stock but you can back order it ready for shipping on April 30th. Melody Maison is also one of the UK's leading stockists of mannequins; the decorative table top example (below) would look amazing in a bedroom and is really well priced. There's tons more beautiful furniture and home accessories to trawl through, i recommend book marking them if you are planning to decorate your house in the near future.

Birdcage Table Lamp - £45 from Dutch by Design

I received an email the other day from Dutch by Design, a London based company that is passionate about contemporary dutch design. It's such a treat to find a store like this that is based in the UK. I particularly love the Birdcage Table Lamp (above), they currently only have pink in stock but you can register to be sent an email alert when the other colours are available. The Ivy Wall Panel (below) is really quite special also; charming and whimsical!

Hello!!!

2008-09-24T16:13:00.003+01:00

Hi guys, I'm really sorry I haven't been updating. I've just started a new course at university and it's all been a bit hectic.

Anyway, I've noticed there has been a lot of hits everyday even though there hasn't been an update in a while. I'd like a bit of feedback, obviously I enjoy updating and putting ideas and designs up for people to see but not many people leave comments or feedback on the posts. Below is a little poll I'd like to know if you'd like Lola-Mae to stay active with frequent updates or if you aren't to bothered.

Please let me know, it's just a little click!

Sorry guys..

>Bright Eyes 18" x 24" from The Small Stakes

The Small Stakes was set up in 2003 by a very talented man named Jason Munn from Oakland, California. He started out designing for the local music scene but from what I can see he has been doing very well lately with a few bigger bands. I love these two prints I found in his gallery, even if you're broke, it's still most definitely worth head over there for a browse.

Hello boys and girls.

I hope everyone in the UK had a lovely bank holiday weekend, I spent it in Devon staying at my Grandad's with the boy. If you were reading last week you'd know that Reading Festival was the original plan for the weekend. Unfortunately ticket touts are a nasty piece of work.

Here are a few photos that were taken over the weekend.

All in all it was a fab weekend and I can't wait to meet little Levi.
