Earlier this year we interviewed the lovely Leah Bartholomew of Beneath the Sun, who, after five years working in Melbourne as Beci Orpin's right hand woman, is currently based in her childhood home town of Bilambil, half an hour north of Byron Bay.
Leah designs a fabulous, super cheerful range of homewares, bedlinen, objects and stationery. Her NEW Spring / Summer collection is available now - SO seriously cute! I'm loving her sweet painted wooden objects in various excellent colourways (impossible to choose just one favourite!), and also her vibrant new 'Papercraft' cushion designs.
I must admit today's post is not the best timing... Leah has JUST exhibited in The Big Design Market in Melbourne - doh SORRY I really should have given you a heads up last week. Nevertheless, Leah's entire range is available online - well worth a little visit to see all her fabulous new creations!
