Hip Products: MOZI Cockatoo Lamp

I've been obsessing over cockatoo lamps for a while - they are such a throwback to the heady design days of Florence Broadhurst, kitsch Australiana and Art Deco in Australia. I'm so thrilled to let you know that Aussie design favourite MOZI has released a gorgeous white sulphur crested cockatoo lamp in their Melbourne store with both white and black linen shades. And it's spectacular!!!

The cockatoo lamps were made for MOZI by an artist in Wagga Wagga - slip cast, hand painted and then made from stoneware. You can spy a white lamp in the store window in the top image and see the lamp in more detail in the bottom image (the black and yellow shade is not available).

You can find the cockatoo lamps at the MOZI store at 769 Glenferrie Rd Hawthorn, VIC. Interstate shipping is also available. If you can't get to the store, you can order by phone (03) 9885 9789. RRP is AUD$330 including the shade (plain black or white).

This is right at the top of my wishlist (hint husband).

Baby Bondville

Introducing the newest edition to the Bondville family - baby Michaela, born 28th December 2009 at 7:54pm. She waited 4 days after her due date to come into the world at a hefty 4.6kg/10.2lb, 53cm/20.9in long and 36.5cm/14.3in head circumference (I'm 5'2"!).

We are all well and her big sister already loves her to bits. Taking some rest time for a while, but will be popping my head in now and then (and announcing the eeni meeni miini moh winner the week of 18th Jan 10).

Thank you so much for all your love and support.
