shopshoot - love loans + linen

shopshoot - love loans + linen

8 Feb 2012

I can't remember how I discovered love loans + linen but I've had my eye on some of the goodies in their online shop for some time now. When the time came to do my first shopshoot for 2012, it was the first place I thought of. 



love loans + linen is located in Palm Beach way up on the northern beaches of Sydney. Unfortunately it wasn't much of a beachy day, the day I visited. The store is housed in the old Palm Beach post office and there are still a few hints as to it's former life.



The shop is filled with all kinds of lovely things, arranged by colour way.



A wall of black and white goodies.


Loads of natural earthy tones and how sweet are those mice?



Lovely embossed tin Palm Beach postcode signs



A display of antique apothecary and mason jars.



That red topped milk bottle has my name on it. I loved this display in red and can't believe I came home empty handed. What was I thinking???



I fell in love with this caterpillar toy.



I spied loads of Samantha Robinson ceramics, which reminded me that I need to invest in some more green hued homewares.



I'm already planning my next trip to love loans + linen but next time I'll be shopping!

Bye for now,

Whenever I travel to Dungog I make some time to spend in the garden, chatting to the chooks and photographing the flowers. It's between seasons at the moment so the vegie patch was a bit bare.

The dahlias, zinnias and asters were still in bloom though.

Sometimes I find flowers well past their bloom, at their most beautiful.

The solitude of the garden was disturbed by a number of these cockatoos, creating quite a racket. The others were shy and flew away but this one posed happily for me.

A still life from the garden and the promise of things to come.

Have a great weekend and enjoy watching the Royal Wedding. I can't wait to see Kate's dress!

Bye for now,

Jillian
