WINKS - weekend links. Here we list what has come in during the week, things we've found and things we think you'll want to see. If you'd like to see your blog or website featured email us and if we think it fits with our readers we'll link you. So what's in this week? A very mixed group is the answer!
- Loving these pieces at Beclau, a family owned and operated business, a high-end custom timber furniture manufacturer. Homewares too.
- Bus roll and leather journals from davidmetnicole. Sigh. These are perfect. Vintage 1950 British destination blinds. Please Santa, please.
- New York City-based interior designer Jennifer Esposito has launched her child-friendly furniture collection called Jenny’s Blocks, sophisticated, multi-purpose pieces made out of dense foam. Chic, modern adult furniture and a child’s indoor jungle gym. Clever!
- For the bookworm. The Lampada Poltrona by Luigi Caccia Dominioni, perfect for your chair or bedhead. Leather and chrome plated brass. At Suite NY. Love this, so want this.
- Charlotte Waters from Brooklyn, NY emailed to introduce Handcrafted Coops, what every stylish chicken needs in their christmas stocking (my words not her's). Portable chicken coops for backyard and urban farmers. Architecture for the birds! "Our coop is based on the 'chicken ark' that has been used by British hen keepers for decades. Our coops are made with plantation-grown, sustainable materials. They provide a healthy, predator-proof home for 4 hens or 6 bantams." Put some wheels on them and we call them chicken tractors here in Australia. When I finally get my house I'm getting a couple of chickens. Maybe they'd like a swanky home like this!

Are there copyright rules in the furniture business? I've attended enough Gymboree courses to know that Jenny's simply taken the tools of the trade and covered them with material!
Those chicken coops are too cool! I've always wanted to have chickens, but live in an apartment. Fresh eggs are probably the most delicious thing ever. Plus you can get cool variety of chicken breeds, some who have pretty coloured eggs that you can blow out the yolk and save for decoration.
love these wood Christmas trees, what a great idea, will have to build me one!
i LOVE LOVE these images......makes me so happy that the holidays are here.

Love the pink tree along with the silver ones in SILVER pots!!
