Beachside Living

If you've been wanting to see, touch and feel the textiles made by Ecoinspired, you can now find our handprinted environmentally friendly textiles here......

at  Beachwood,  Avalon Pde, Avalon Beach.

Beachwood are ''merchants of integral components for beachside living" . Their style is fresh with a coastal influence.

"Beachwood specialise in custom made furniture using timber reclaimed from old Australian houses, warehouses and bridges. Their homewares and soft furnishings complement the furniture and give Beachwood its own distinct feel".

Some of my favourite items at Beachwood includes this gorgeous Hanging Pod Chair and recycled timber daybed. (photos courtesy of Beachwood)

 

So next time you visit the Northern Beaches, browse the beachside village of Avalon and call into Beachwood where you'll see EcoInspired's textiles looking right at home. 

Table Runners for Spring

I've been terribly slack on the blogging front....and it's because I've been completely absorbed in printing and piecing together a new selection of table runners! This particular job is very satisfying...... I can utilise lots of remnant pieces of fabric and I enjoy seeing these pieces evolve into attractive and useful textiles that can look great on any table or wall. 

 

And with Spring finally here in the Southern Hemisphere what better way to dress an inviting alfresco table than with gorgeous, handprinted, eco friendly textiles. Available soon from Beachwood at Avalon Beach, NSW,  Sturt Gallery in Mittagong, NSW and EcoInspired's online store

Life Instyle and 'mazing Melbourne

The Life Instyle show held in Melbourne last week looked to be a huge success, with inspiring new handmade items soon to be available in shops across the country.
Some of my favourite stallholders  ......

Clay Australia handcreate ceramic homewares like this...

Sydney based Attia craft functional tableware from natural sustainable timber and stone....

 and I can just imagine EcoInspired's range of table napkins (right) matching beautifully with this Attia table setting...

I'm always drawn to woven floor rugs so no surprises I like Armadillo&Co. Their rug collection is meticulously made by hand and produced to the highest ethical standards.... gorgeous neutral toned rugs woven by hand using sustainable natural fibres...

and about 'mazing Melbourne?..........I really like Melbourne, but I'm so bad at following maps..... and in the rain last week......it was like being in a maze! Fortunately Melbourne has great coffee spots and restaurants that source their fine ingredients locally...not to mention Melbourne's wonderful homewares and fashion stores!
