When I was in Sydney the other looking for props for a shoot, Alex and I had just left Mitchell Rd Auctions to go to a coffee shop to discuss the next shoot and we took the wrong turn (in fact we just went straight ahead and forgot to turn) and ended up at this gorgeous shop!!!
A sweet ‘garden’ setting greets you at the front of the shop.
Where do you start????
Now I know Samantha Robinson’s range but I hadn’t been to their studio before so this was such a nice surprise. Alex and I fell in love instantly and she bought a couple of things for her Mum, I bought something for myself and was about to visit my daughter and bought her something too!
I got a couple of these cute ‘watermelon’ bowls for my daughter.
I really wanted this bowl but was too big for me to take home on the plane!!!
The girls there were so chilled and were lost in their creative world as they connected with the porcelain in front of them. I chatted to them how fantastic it was to see them made right before our eyes and they gave me back the perfect response, “and made with love”.
“Made with love”
As our purchases were being wrapped not only did we feel great we were giving them with love but now knew they were made with love. Keep this in mind when buying your next present, it feels good inside.
Love how the patterns of the china creep onto the display like vines.
Oh yes, a wrong turn can sometimes be a good thing!
UPDATE: after being on twitter for a couple of hours Matthew @m_mupfa hot-tailed it to the store and picked up this gorgeous vase! ( he was going for my gorgeous bowl, but was too big, still hope for me yet!!)
These vases can be used also with a tealight – thanks for the pic Matthew!
