The more time I spend at home with my two toddlers, the more I have a desire to have fresh flowers around the house. When my sunflowers on the table finally wilted after two weeks, I decided to bring some greenery in from the backyard to fill the void. I took the girls with me on an “adventure” to find the perfect branches. Not only did we decorate areas of the house with branches in vases, but we decided to take it a step further and frame some as Wall Decor. Any leaves should hold between glass floating frames. You can find them at Target or your local craft store. If you are looking for a particular leaf , you can also use faux leaves. And why stop at leaves? You can frame flowers and more from your nature walks with your little ones!

Sleepykins // Prints which bring your room to life!
Meet the two creatives behind Sprout and Sparrow who create bold, contemporary art prints which bring colour and life into any little child’s space. Adi (a former lawyer) and Tash (a graphic designer) are sisters and mums to four cheeky (but gorgeous) kids.
Sprout and Sparrow was born after the two sisters spent hours scouring shops and the internet to find the perfect piece of art for their little ones’. They didn’t want to spend a lot of money and just wanted to find something a little bit different, bold yet colourful. Nothing really grabbed their attention, so in a brief moment of calm during a play date one morning, they came up with an idea over a pot of peppermint tea: “let’s make our own art!” And so they did! It has become a great creative outlet for them and the world loves them.
Adi and Tash find so much inspiration everywhere. They love colour. Even in the midst of the monochrome craze they have always maintained bright colourful pieces in their stunning range. Their new range is predominantly inspired by their kids. Their ‘Paper plane’ print came about because one of their kids is a little obsessed with paper planes; if you look closely at the print, you will see his words on the page. Such a beautiful and personal touch.
Every little kid needs a little Sprout and Sparrow in their rooms!
