Charlie Pickering and the Big Tie

Charlie Pickering is an Australian comedian, author and television presenter. Here he is sitting in one of the rooms of his home with a delicious vintage poster looking pretty spiffy behind him. Hmmm, wonder where that came from?!!

I thought it looked gorgeous on the front of the Home supplement in the weekend Herald-Sun. Always such a pleasant surprise to see one of our beauties in the press.

Galerie Montmartre in Living Etc!

You all know my love for Britain's Living Etc mag....(I described it back in March as - 'my most beloved, most anticipated, most can't-believe-how-many-creative-people-there-are-out-there-check-out-how-they-live magazine'). Quite frankly, there is not one thing I dislike about it. So to see our beautiful posters in all their glory on the walls of the Paddington home of Simon and Paris in the June issue was soooooo exciting - I liken the feeling to what it must be for a vocal performer to hear 'themself' on the radio!

Such a shame they got our website incorrect - they got the Montmartre bit, just forgot the Galerie word at the front. But it takes alot more than that to bring me down. To be honest, Living Etc usually try to find the UK equivalent to products for their readers; so I was thrilled they even got half our name correct! I know where S & P got them (and now you do too) and that's enough for me.

For more images check here....and thanks to Jules for giving me the head's up before I'd had a chance to go through my copy.

Have a great week, everyone. x

It was such a lovely thing to be featured in the H&G decorating article this month - not once, but twice! Stylist Jo Carmichael did a gorgeous job creating beautifully cozy spaces. I think the posters look amazing.

Galmont on House and Garden's Wishlist!

So lovely to open up the latest Australian House and Garden magazine and see our beautiful little Parapluie looking back at me. Thanks to subeditor Elle Lovelock for thinking the image was worthy to go on your list right there with the Prince Charles chair.

Happy Friday - Galmont and Inside Out Magazine

Some of you may not have had the chance to see our posters in the latest edition of the
Inside Out magazine (ie. that might be you S-J Down the Lane and Rockin' Raina in Denver), so thought I'd give you a little glance.

Megan Morton is not only the stylist's stylist, but she is one fab person and has come up with the best written soundbite for vintage posters that I have read in a longtime.

"Posters are produced to attract viewers' attention and hold it. Their bold use of typography ensures they will always be centre stage in a room. Sarah is not alone in her passion for vintage posters. Due to their rarity, many have become collector's items, and their popularity has made them highly prized." Megan Morton for Inside Out March-April 2010

Have a lovely Friday, people, next week I'll be showing you what I've chosen as the giveaway...if you haven't voted for a header, please do so to be in the running to get yourself some vintage paper love! x
