Chandeliers- A whole lot of luxe!

We've decided to add a whole lot of luxe to our range at Little Light House! There is a timeless and elegant appeal to a chandelier, and if your decor is that way inclined, then you might find these new chandeliers to be just the thing for you!

These chandeliers have polished chrome metal frame and fittings, with soft pink glass beading and droplets. Your daughters will really feel like princesses with this glamorous addition to their rooms!

Check out our website, and stay tuned for their imminent arrival!

Apple Baskets - a sweet storage idea

I really love these Apple Baskets! They come in a set of 4 baskets which stack inside each other, and are really useful for all those bits and pieces which little girls accumulate! The smallest is great for hair bands, clips, etc, and each size is useful for holding all sorts of things. Available in three colours, Candy Apple, Raspberry or Snow - my personal fave is Candy Apple.

Buy some online at www.littlelighthouse.com.au under the category "Cute Storage".

Welcome 2011!

I hope you all had a wonderful festive season, and are ready for a great 2011! It was Emma's first Christmas and she had a lovely time playing with the discarded wrappings, and the Christmas tree itself - so much for the presents we actually bought for her!! xx

A day at the Market

Mathilda's Market in Brisbane has come and gone, and it was a great day with big crowds and beautiful wares. Here's a few piccies of what we had to offer on the day!

How's this for innovation??

Many is the time I have nursed, cuddled, rocked my babies to sleep (I know, against all the rules!) and with great trepidation lowered them down to their cot only to have those sweet little eyes open along with those loud little lungs! My heart sinks, and the process starts again. Someone needed to come up with a great idea to get babies from arms to cot without disturbing them.

Well, how's this for a clever device? Attach the bassinette to a rocking chair and away you go! No worries about spoiling the baby by having them go to sleep in your arms, and if you are lucky you will nod off to sleep also!

Perhaps a short term fix, but I love the innovative thinker who came up with this piece of furniture - no doubt bleary-eyed in the middle of the night after going through the abovementioned scenario themselves!

Where to buy one, well these ones are called the Rockid from Ontwerpduo. Locally, not sure at the moment - got a handy husband??

We'll be at Mathilda's Market on Nov. 6th!

Hooray!!! Little Light House will be showcasing our newest fabrics and lampshade styles at the upcoming Mathilda's Market in Brisbane on November 6th!! Come along and see the lovely display of our most popular designs and our latest additions, which we are very excited about.

Some fabrics make me catch my breath, and when this happens I know they are perfect for Little Light House - and these latest ones do exactly that. I hope you'll love them as much as I do. I won't give too much away now, they will be released at this Mathilda's Market.

If you have any lampshades which you would particularly like to see at the MM, then please drop me an email, so I can make sure I have that one on show. We have so many styles now, it is nearly impossible to showcase them all in a market environment.

I look forward to seeing you at the Eagle Farm Racecourse on November 6th! It will be a beautiful event, full of handmade, gorgeous products - a perfect Christmas shopping experience.

Red Chair Interiors

It has been my pleasure to recently work with Georgie Oates of Red Chair Interiors. Georgie is an Interior Designer based in Tamworth NSW, and she services that area and its surrounding districts. Georgie loves to go on a mission for her clients in order to find unique and exciting products, products which they are not going to find in any other home close by. "It is all about hand picking the finer details for my clients that will complete their brief, over and above their expectations" says Georgie.

With this in mind, Georgie approached Little Light House about our "Flowers" -Hot Pink lampshade for a client's daughter. The bedlinen was lovely, yet it required something to give it the "Wow" factor. "Flowers" - Hot Pink with its gorgeous colours and silver detail was just the thing. Added to this was one of our new cushions, and as the photo below shows, she created a lovely bedroom for a lucky little girl.

Georgie can be contacted on M. 0427 428 244.
