beautiful buenos aires....
inspiration left and right...

my darling friend Tess...she has a beautiful shop called Frond, up in steamy Darwin...she sells such a lovely selection of goodies all arranged with such style and taste...and she just happens to also stock some Pouch goodies too...all framed and looking ready for a new home! 

If you are in Darwin...you should go and say hello...

You can find her at Shop 4, 32 Smith Street, Darwin...

ohhh its been sooooo long...but I have not forgotten about Pouch...I am still zipping from place to place in South America...currently in beautiful Buenos Aires..soaking up the Argentinian lifestyle...so much beauty all around me!
A selection of random photos, from random places that inspire me....

hello from sunny Buzios in Brazil! Pouch is going all over Brazil in search of inspiration...I have been to some beautiful places already and thought I might share some photos of the sights....

 

at the famous Bird Park in Hong Kong... my idea of heaven - lots of little birdies and the most beautiful cages, all tended by devoted, happy little Chinese men...

Pouch in Hong Kong...

So...I have a little news...Pouch will be taking a small break, actually its not so small! Myself and my man are going on an adventure to South and Central America for between 6 and 12 months and we leave this Friday!
This unfortunately means there will not be any new pieces added to the Pouch collection for a while, but I will be seeking out all kinds of inspiration, materials (all those beautiful woven fabrics!!), taking thousands of photos, writing a diary and generally collecting bits and bobs to create some exciting new things on my return.
I will be continuing to update the Pouch blog...a little photo, a little story here and there...just to give you a taste of what I am up to in those far and distant lands!
I have been working hard to create a nice selection of stock for my Etsy store, which will continue to run (thanks to my dear friend Amelia!)


So please do keep checking up on my adventure as I will certainly be sharing some exotic, silly, crazy, scary, beautiful stories with you all.
Thank you for supporting Pouch so far...keep spreading the word

some new bits and bobs currently on my etsy store...
