Eat Drink Chic Etsy Favorite: Eat Pray Create - Lilac Saloon This year, I made it a goal to reach out and support more Etsy sellers. Since I am an Etsy seller, myself, it is only right that I support others in their craft, too! I do not have a lot to spend and wanted to try to spread this goal out as far as I could - making a little bit go a long way. I decided to buy one thing from a different shop each month. The one thing has to be an inexpensive purchase so that I am able to get something every month (think, around $25 or less). My February purchase was from the lovely shop Eat Pray Create! The shop is owned by Minna (who is super nice and amazing) and located in Portland, Oregon. I asked Minna for 2 custom stamps in heart shapes to use in my packaging for Lilac Saloon! I tested them out right away when they arrived. Visit Eat Pray Create on Etsy and see the adorable stamps she has stocked in her shop or even send her a message and have a stamp custom made just for you!

t e a l and t e a Oh the lovely things Food A rear of a small inner city Melbourne pub has been transformed from a tiny add-on back extension into a voyeuristic playground by Techné Architects. The clever rethinking of the space has effectively turned the 130m2 back area of The Prahran Hotel into 300m2 over three levels. The star of the design is a series of 17 ½ concrete waterpipes. For architect Justin Northrop, the pipes add a lot more than drama to the hotel’s exterior. Guests can sit in booths inside the pipes. Booths can be seen from the street, and throughout the interior of the hotel. The project is the fifth pub collaboration between Techné and hotel group Sand Hill Road (SHR has pubs around Melbourne and moonlight as successful film producers). Guests can choose between three levels; the ground floor mixes polychromatic textured tiles and spotted gum floorboards, with a light-filled courtyard and street views. The natural materials and soft upholstery take the edge of the concrete, steel and glass used in the interior.
