I wish I could be happy about it. But to be honest, I just don't like summer. I love the idea of summer, but in reality it's too hot for the beach, indoors is full of mosquitos - as hard as we try to keep them out - our studio has been converted into a sauna and there are just too many people.

If it weren't so awful for the environment and my wallet, I would get air conditioning and put fake snow on my windows and not leave the house for the whole of summer, wrapped in a blanket and drinking hot chocolate like it's vodka*, laughing hysterically at all those foolish enough to brave the sweltering Queensland tourist circus.

* I mean water. Water's the one I drink a lot of.

After four weeks off (one to organise the final touches of my wedding and a three week honeymoon in Japan!), it sure is good to be home. Peta and Emily have been busy while I've been away, we'll have a few exciting things to share in the following weeks and months. I never thought I'd be so excited to come back to work!

Oh, the wedding was perfect, by the way. Isn't that map we used as the photo booth background amazing?

I bought the new Spaces Magazine by Frankie and I am delighted! Its a perfect book for when you really want something lovely to look at.

My friends Cafe (Vintage Expresso) is featured! Vintage Expresso is my favourite cafe to catch up with amazing friends.

Mae will be at the Magnolia Markets, St Kilda Town Hall in Victoria 2nd - 5th December. If you will be in the area come and check it out! There will be the most amazing retailers! I will definitely having a look and buying some treasures. Peta and Georgina just recently came back from our first Sydney Magnolia Markets and they were very impressed with the market atmosphere.

Now this is lovely. Babyology featured us in Babiekins Magazine. To view who else they featured in the magazine click here. I must say that the Babiekins Magazine is very, very lovely and the photography is really sweet. (How cute is the red head on the front cover!)

How lovely are the displays of Mae Wall Stickers and Mini Mae. We love to see how creative people are.
A huge thank you to Jotika Pokharel for emailing us photos. We love how you arranged our stickers. How cute are the hearts flying in the breeze! *Hint: Strips of fabric can be used for the long brown strips shown in the image.

Mae can now be purchased on the wonderful Eco Toys website. The Eco Toys online toy store provides beautifully crafted toys made from natural, sustainable and recycled materials. For those that are environmentally conscious, this online store is perfect.

Oh my!

I was a delight to read, browse and swoon over the Gifted Magazine by Creature Comforts Blog. There are so many good gift ideas for this Christmas, it has really inspired my to get all my Christmas Gifts early this year as I want to get really creative.

Mae's Winter Dress up Dolls are even in there. Yippee! (page 173)

Have a look here and you will be delighted just as much as I was!

The downloadable paper found at www.lovemae.com.au/yesplease now has smaller, bite size file sizes.

Enjoy an eco friendly Christmas this year - no plastic trees allowed!

Decorate windowsills, walls or your love mae “Build A Tree” with some add-on decorations.

Those with little space for a Christmas tree will enjoy our version - it doesn’t involve chopping one down, and not a spiky plastic pine leaf to be seen! And the best part - when the holidays are over, just take off the candy canes and baubles and you can enjoy this charming tree all year round.

Remember, love mae wall decals are made from reusable adhesive fabric, so they can also be stuck back on the sheet and put away for next year.

 Danielle from The Style Files recently posted pics of her new bubba Kick's room, which feature our stickers. Doesn't it look amazing? She clearly has an eye for stunning feature pieces - can you believe that lamp is from Ikea?



I love how these next two incorporate our decals into painted scenes.. the Twitters look so sweet perched on the white picket fence. Thanks to Jennifer McCartney of Coco Design for sharing!



These photos were sent to us from Nancy Manders, who says of her gorgeous nursery:

"I adore LOVEMae Decals and had them in our 2year olds nursery surrounding his cot, but am now relocating them into the new baby’s nursery. I love being creative and enjoy taking on various projects, so decided at 39weeks and 4 days pregnant, to get out my paint brushes and paint some white trees onto one of the walls, and then placed the gorgeous LOVEMae decals as accents on my artwork. Coincidentally I also transformed the ‘frilly’ bassinet into a more tailored version by making a blue band and bow for it AND to bring the colours together, just completed at 40weeks and 3 days pregnant.... the ‘Ducky’ cushion on the chair. I love how everything is slowly coming together. I have many more projects I am wanting to do in the nursery but they may just have to wait!"
