“Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”

Maurice Sendak , we love you so! xxxxx

June 10 1928- May 8 2012

My dear friend Jackie and her partner Chris have just purchased one of our new 70cm diameter Circle Shelves- they decided to keep the timber natural so we just gave it a good going over with Scandinavian oils and bees wax- it is absolutely stunning, the larger size has so much potential for a real statement piece in the home- how fabulous do Jackie’s Mexican artifacts and masks look on display in their amazing house!!

Big Circle!

The new size is just so much larger and incredibly substantial looking, although it’s just 20cm wider than our original Shelves, the fact that it’s also 20cm taller and comes out from the wall by 10cm instead of 7cm helps make this piece become a true work of art in your home, as you can see by these shots…

We are happy to discuss any enquiries, and we will be putting them on the website soon

Ps. for a sense of scale we added a pair of sunglasses and a bottle of Chanel nail polish in the uppermost images  to give you an idea of the sizing

About a year ago we wrote this post about our favorite fashion couple, Isabel and Ruben Toledo, swoon and sigh!

Well, the lovely Ms. Toledo (with illustrations by husband Ruben)  has just released a memoir:

‘Roots of Style; weaving together life, love and fashion’, which looks beautifully moving and inspired -  particularly the underlying themes of  success coming in many wonderful guises and that creative ‘fermentation’ is a really important process to be savoured and enjoyed!

Available after April 1st at your local book shop, can’t wait!

Lovely sweet article in new quarterly magazine ‘Melbourne Made’ -  thank you so much to journalist Kate Tapping for turning an friendly, informal chat into a really great piece on all things Bride&Wolfe.

Big thanks and congratulations to Roberta Styles-Wood for putting together such a lovely, well considered magazine – can’t wait for the next issue
