Brenner Liana Photography

I have been working lately with the super sweet, supremely talented Bree from Brenner Liana Photography.

So I thought I would post a few shots of the customised clutches I created for her. They are made from vintage fabrics and feature 'Brenner Liana Photography' customised ribbon.

So if you are a bride in Melbourne looking for a photographer with serious skills, you've found your girl! And for those who refer another bride...you may just end up with one of these super sweet clutches as a little thank you gift!

I had such fun creating these clutches so if anyone out there is after some customised clutches for their brand or event, feel free to get in touch with me at jen@rejenerate.com.au.

Some Home Truths

You must check out the somehometruths blog.

Blogger Germaine Leece writes about what home means to us today and she has such a wonderful way with words - and she's super, super sweet to boot. Make sure you have a spare hour or two because it's impossible to tear yourself away from this blog!

Oh, and she has done a little post about me!

everyday romance

The Mister is not really one for grand romantic gestures.

Flowers, perfume and jewellery are not things I find myself showered with on a regular basis.

And that suits me just fine because after a bit of a restless night with The Little Miss, I awoke to find a hot coffee and my favourite rye bread waiting for me to get my morning off to a good start.

Now call me crazy, but to me, that's romance.

love the earth

Isn't this photo beautiful?

Today I'm obsessed with...this bed. It would be like waking up in a forest every day.

For a little romantic in the making...

Too cute. Handmade and available here.

mis-matchy cuteness...

Isn't this set of bridesmaid clutches so pretty and girlie?

These were created for a Victorian bride who is having a mis-matchy, colourful, vintage themed garden wedding. Now that was a fun design brief!

That's gold...

My world is currently filled with shades of gold and bronze.

I usually work with silver purse frames and bling but right now it seems everybody wants the antiqued look of bronze frames and brooches for their bridal purses.

Eventhough I think I have now made seven gazillion and twenty three antique look purses, I am still loving them. So vintage-y and elegant.

And I will never tire of scouring the world for vintage brooches!

Second Homesick

Today this image from the me and Alice blog is making me feel majorly homesick for Sweden.

Right now my dad is over in Sweden staying with my relatives and my mum is heading over to join him shortly. I'm jealous!

PS The gorgeous Tuesdai has done a little interview with me over on her blog. Thanks Tuesdai!

Thank you Mr Postman!

Today was such a gorgeous winter's day. The Little Miss and I took a long walk by the water and soaked in some winter rays.

On the way home we stopped in at the neighbourhood cafe and the Little Miss batted her big baby blues at our cute barista and scored mama a free coffee. Thanks baby!

When we got home we found the postman had delivered a gorgeous package of reclaimed vintage fabrics. Excitement!

Sadly I'm up to my ears in bridal orders right now so alas, these little lovelies must be put aside for now.

Vintage Treasures

I blogged a while back about a set of bridesmaid clutches I made from a set of vintage napkins.

I didn't use all of the fabric from the napkins and even though there wasn't enough left to make any more clutches, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away as it is just such a pretty print.

Sooo I combined it with some powder blue fabric and topped it with some pretty embellishments and hey presto - we have a 'Vintage Treasures' clutch!

Kirsty's Wedding

Ah! More real wedding pics! Love.

These photos are from the sweetest bride named Kirsty who sent me some linens that her great aunts had crocheted many years ago. We used them to create some clutches for her and her mum to use on the Big Day.

I also made some cute little purses for her bridesmaids, who look just stunning don't you think?

Thanks Kirsty for sending the photos. It's so wonderful to see my little creations in use.

...Owl tea cosies! I mean who wouldn't be.

It's packed with vintage and handmade goods and is a sure thing if you're trying to buy a great gift. It comes up with ths goods every single time.

Frankie Fix...

Ah! The new issue of Frankie is out and I am looooving the cover. I haven't even opened the mag yet and I'm already swooning.

Sydney Picnic Co.

I am so happy to have just discovered the Sydney Picnic Co.

They are a little company who make picnic hampers...'really good ones'.

I love the amazing attention to detail from the menu and food itself to the presentation. Too cute.

They also do gift vouchers - what a fab gift idea!

Finders Keepers Brisbane

If you are in Brisbane this weekend, be sure to visit the Finders Keepers Markets at The Old Museum.

These markets are just the best...you won't be dissappointed.

I will have some new stock available at the Leeloo stall. Yay!

Blushing Blossom Bridal Clutch

I have been making a special effort to try and have more ready-to-ship bridal clutches available in my online shop for last-minute brides (like I was!) who don't have time to wait for a custom clutch to be made.

So here we have a new Blushing Blossom Bridal Clutch. Available here.
