shopshoot - high tea with mrs woo

29 Apr 2013

Last Christmas I was on the hunt for some Paper Boat Press stars. I knew High Tea with Mrs Woo stocked some of Kylie's products so off I went. Unfortunately they didn't have any of the stars but I still left with a few goodies. I'd not visited the shop before and I found it to be charming and made a mental note to return one day to photograph the store.



I don't know if you've been along Oxford Street Paddington recently but it's a bit of a sad affair these days. So many shops are empty and have been for quite some time. Well the same can't be said for High Tea with Mrs Woo - the shop was buzzing with people the duration of my stay.



The shop is part clothing store/part gallery space and the clothing is all designed by the three Foong sisters. As well as the Paddington store, the sisters run another High Tea with Mrs Woo store in Newcastle.



If you look really carefully you can see an old holiday photo of the three sisters.

High Tea with Mrs Woo hosts regular pop up shops. Heaven in Earth was the pop up shop when I visited the store and some of the items you can see here are from their online store. Since then Rebound Books has moved into the store and will be there until the end of May.



Some Heaven in Earth, Sunday Morning Designs and East of India products.



A final vignette from the store.


Here is where you can find High Tea with Mrs Woo. (2016- Paddington store now closed but you can still find the store in Newcastle and online)

If you can't make it to one of their stores, they have an online shop here

Many thanks to the Foong sisters for allowing me to shoot their shop.

See you all again on Wednesday. 

Until then,

paperboat press

5 Sept 2012

The lovely Kylie from Paperboat Press pressed a little packet into my hand last time we met at the Sydney Finders Keepers. This is what was inside, a lovely little blue and white bowl.



I've always loved blue and white china so this little bowl has been added to my collection.



Many thanks Kylie.

P.S. 3 weeks today until I fly out to Montreal. I'm starting to get very excited about the trip, yet a trifle concerned with all that needs to be sorted out before I go. Too much to do and too little time.....

mixed berry and ricotta crumble cakes

20 Aug 2012

I have a very small apartment with little storage space. I’ve been collecting food magazines for more than 10 years and recently I ran out of space. I girded my loins and made the tough decision to only file 2 years worth of the magazines. Lots of the recipes can be accessed digitally but not all of them. I’ve spent quite a few hours pulling out the recipes I think I’ll use and have placed the magazines into the paper recycling bin. I’ve yet to file all the loose leaves of paper I’ve cut from the magazines and I don’t even want to think about the pre 2005 magazines that are stored way up high on top of my kitchen cabinets.



Looking back through the magazines (so far I’ve made my way through the 2005 – 2010 issues) it’s amazing how much food photography, styling and the food we eat has changed during the 7 year period. Have you noticed this as well?



This recipe for plum and ricotta crumble cakes caught my eye and wouldn’t you know it, the recipe is available online after all. As it’s the middle of winter, plums aren’t in season here so I did as the recipe suggested and used some mixed frozen berries to top the cakes. I took the cakes into work and they were soon demolished.



I took one home for later and by the time I got round to tasting the cake it was a few days old and past its prime. I cut the cake in half, saving a bit for later as I always do and had it with a cup of tea. I found the cake a bit dry and when I reread the recipe I noticed they suggested eating the cake warm from the oven. I zapped the remaining cake in the microwave for 10 seconds and the warm cake was a revelation.



If you do get the chance to make these little cakes, please follow their suggestion to serve them warm as it makes them exceptionally yummy.

Just flew back from Brisbane this morning and the plane came in over Sydney Harbour. What a view! The sky was blue and ferries were making their way across the Harbour to Circular Quay. From my window seat I could clearly make out cars as they drove along the Sydney Harbour Bridge and I could see the Opera House as well. It was an absolutely spectacular Sydney day.

See you all again on Wednesday,

Jillian

gifts from the kitchen

14 Sept 2011

A few months ago I went to the Sydney Finders Keepers to say hello to some of my Brisbane friends including the lovely Kylie Johnson. Before I left, Kylie pressed a package into my hand which contained some of these sweet ornaments. Kylie wanted me to have the tags because she knew I'd use them.



Well it took little longer than I expected but here's what I did with some of the tags. For Christmas last year one of my friends gave me a pot of her home made tomato and chilli chutney. I liked it so much I asked for the recipe.



I spiced it up a bit with some extra chilli and now it's really hot, so much so I don't know if I can actually give it as a gift without attaching a health warning!



Kylie also included a packet of biscuit ornaments, so now you know what I did with the remaining biscuit dough from Monday's post.



I'll be back next week with some more photos of my holiday purchases and those double chocolate sandwich biscuits.

Many thanks again to Kylie for my lovely gift,

Bye for now,

the finders keeper - sydney

25 May 2011

On Saturday morning I drove over to Eveleigh to check out the Farmers Markets and the autumn Sydney Finders Keepers. It was a spectacular day and as I was there really early, I checked out the produce first and took some photos - photos to follow.



A few of my design friends were going to be at the markets so I wanted to get there early so I could say hello and take a few snaps before the hordes descended.



There is always a bit of a decorative theme going on and on this occasion, it was balloons.



There were plenty of old favourites there - Elkhorn designs.



Some beautiful new goodies from Paperboat Press. Kylie gave me some sweet little tags to use and once I return from my trip away I'll get baking and show you how sweet the little tags are.



The lovely Alischa from Bespoke Press and some of her new items. I bought some of the 'hello' cards from her online shop a few weeks ago.





I found some new favourite stall holders as well.



I loved these items from Hideyo Designs. Wouldn't those paper flowers be gorgeous at a wedding? Now this is when I started to lose track of the stallholders and I'm ashamed to say, I can't identify any of the remaining stalls for you. Some of the stalls were unattended when I was taking photos/ many of the stall holders didn't have their business cards on display and some stalls were just too busy for me to approach. If any of my readers can identify the stalls and help me out, I'd be grateful.




On my stroll around the Finders Keepers I found pretty artworks and leather bags and Kylie's new range of paperweights.



Crocheted garlands, from Crayon Chick



funky fashions,



gorgeously translucent ceramics and



jewellery and cards.




I hope you enjoyed my trip to the Finders Keepers and my finds.

From all reports, it was a great day,

Paperboat Press

11 Mar 2011

As you all know I love both ceramics and typography, which is why I love Kylie Johnson's work. When I received an email from Kylie asking if I'd take some headshots for her while in Brisbane at Christmas time, of course I agreed.

She let me in on a little secret that Anthropologie, which stocks her poetry books, had commissioned some of her designs. I managed to get a sneak peek of the 3 pieces and took a few photos.



They are really lovely - white Italian earthenware with blue lettering.



I think my favourite piece is the bowl.



Kylie included a link to the Anthro site here on her blog.  In other news Kylie is having a little sale at her shop. I'm sure if you bought one of the pieces they would make your heart sing.

Have a great weekend,

Jillian

a paperboat press xmas

2 Feb 2011

I've made a few friends in the blogosphere this past year, and one of them is poet and ceramicist Kylie Johnson. We met up for a cup of tea and some mince pies when I was home in Brisbane for Christmas.


Now the first time I met Kylie, she sent me home with a bag of goodies and this time it was no different. She has such a kind and generous soul.



I came home with a paperboat press paper bag which I opened on Christmas Day. Inside was a beautiful dotty red star and one of Kylie's journals. I plan to take the journal away with me on my trip to Europe in June.



Kylie also makes some lovely Christmas ornaments pictured here on her Christmas tree. When you have time, take a look at some of the pretty things that Kylie stocks in her shop,

I hope your working week is going well. If not, then not too many days to go before the next weekend rolls around.

Bye for now,

Paperboat Press

19 May 2010

One of the nicest things about my Finders Keepers visit was meeting Kylie Johnson from Paperboat Press.



I'd not had a very good week and meeting Kylie brightened my day. I introduced myself to Kylie and asked if I could take photos of her work for my blog. Not only did she let me take the photos, she gave me the big hug I needed, then sent me home with a small parcel, which I opened on Mother's Day.


Look what I found inside the parcel - one of Kylie's sweet cloud brooches which can be purchased here, a ceramic quote tag and some quote pencils.




Thanks so much Kylie, my new bff!

Finders Keepers

12 May 2010

On Saturday I visited the Finders Keepers Market. The markets were held in the Carriageworks building at the old Eveleigh Railway yards. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and I was not alone.The Eveleigh Farmers Markets were being held in the adjacent building and open auditions for Hairspray were also underway.The place was heaving.



I've not been to Finders Keepers before and I was interested to see what was on display.



I really don't like crowds and wasn't feeling all that well so I picked out some local colour, the crowds and a few favourite stalls to photograph before leaving.





The first stall I visited belonged to Kylie of Paperboat Press. Kylie is a poet and a ceramicist and I already own a few pieces of Kylie's work. Kylie very kindly allowed me to photograph her stall and gave me a little care parcel to take home with me but more of that next week.






Next stop was Bespoke Press, to check out their letterpress goodies. I do love letterpress and one day would love to have some letterpress notecards made just for me. Alischa also very kindly allowed me to photograph her booth.



My last stop was knitknit. Unfortunately I don't have any contact details for the stall as the web address I have doesn't work, so apologies. The knitted tea cosy was so cute and I'd love one for my teapot at home. I was intrigued by the learn to knit sign. I learned to knit when I was about 5 so I thought every-one knew how to knit!

edit - here is the link to knit knit


I hope you enjoyed my little trip to Finders Keepers. I'll be back on Friday asking for some more travel tips from my blog readers, so until then,

Jillian
