Neutral Dwelling

We'd like to welcome Paula Lofton with her shop Neutral Dwelling who just joined us as a sponsor. The shop is full of wonderful products, carrying home decor, furniture and tabletop items. I've got my eye on a few things...and she offers free shipping to the continental US for those of you in that neck of the woods. My favourite pieces are below, but you must go have a look at her shop to see much more.

A Canadian's art and an Australian's shop

Since I am off today and am avoiding chores around the house, I thought I would give Jo a little break from a couple WINKS this coming weekend. First, I received an email from Zoe Pawlak, a painter and mom living and working in White Rock, British Columbia. She is incredibly talented, and all her work had me totally intrigued. Gorgeous colours and touching portraits and drawings. I love it all. See more of her amazing art here.

Lee McCabe also wrote us about a homewares site that his wife Jennifer has just launched, based in Australia. It's called Whiteport, which is a perfectly suitable name because all the products are white. "Our products look equally good in a city loft apartment or a sprawling beach house. White products are simple, timeless and complement any colour scheme." Selling all sorts of accessories for kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and dining rooms, if you love white you've got to check out Jennifer's store (and they ship internationally). Here are some of my favourite items.

I was over checking out decorate it darling when I saw that Jawcey had featured NiBa Home but lamented that she couldn't share more photos because it was in flash. I loved it so much I had to snag a few shots to share. Thanks for showing me the way Jawcey! It's on amazing store!!
