Our new release of greeting cards – Images from Leanne’s latest work plus a reprint of Kapai

Beautiful long haired Alpaca rug from a local farm.  Featured on Country Calendar now exclusive to Homebase Collections.

Spring has sprung at Homebase.  Magnolias in the vase, Yosemite on the wall and one of Leanne’s new high-gloss enamel oars on the wall.  So keep an eye out for the upcoming issue of Homestyle magazine.

Billie spent the weekend at the Sea Breeze beach house, wearing a dress made from Swans in Lake Blue, cooking delights in the pizza oven & generally looking quite beautiful…we thought we’d film it & lay ‘Angel Song’ from Trinity Roots to set this magical scene

Our lovely friend Fe from Global Piece Ltd has just had curtains made for her bedroom in the Swans in lake blue. They were hung yesterday & we couldn’t wait to go straight round & shoot them as they look so beautiful & serene…

These tea towels with designs by Leanne Culy are hand screened by Leanne & are made from beautiful 100% linen. When it came to choosing the cloth for the tea towels we decided on linen because its a more contemporary take on the old fashioned linen tea towels. They are delicate looking but durable, absorbent & strong….and look like fabric art hanging in your kitchen.

Choose from 4 designs: Decorate a Cake, Pohutukawa Wreath, Robin or Sammy the Seal. Available for purchase directly through us at $32 each or $120 for a set of 4.

Tea time at Home Base Collections is a daily ritual for us, sometimes twice daily. Frankly there is nothing like a freshly brewed cup of tea in Grandpa Macs teapot & a hot cross bun smothered in butter, or a gingernut will suffice.

Music by Brian Eno & Peter Schwain from Drawn from Life ‘Bloom’.

Magnolia red & pink on gisborne makes the most beautiful curtains seen here in the sunroom with a chair covered in Nature Nurture on Taupo, a raspberry red sheepskin fluffy cushion & Rata red light shade on our Zig Zag base.

We were in the middle of this beautiful shoot when the terrible news of the Christchurch earthquake came through. We all stopped in our tracks, a poignant moment to contemplate the sadness of the disaster.
