After more than ten fulfilling, magical years beginning in the good old days of 2012, Hello Pretty is retiring and heading off to the beach with a drink with a tiny umbrella.
Read our goodbye letter
Things that we love today: Andy Gilmore! What we especially love is his choice of colour. Be doing yourself a favour and look at the enlarged version.
A little while ago I found 31 & Change and I’m smitten. They’re doing something I’ve always wanted to do: bringing old furniture back to life with some sandpaper, some love and some colour (which, in my opinion, they have selected impeccably). Their site describes themselves as “a Brooklyn-based furniture company that designs with a twist, a wink and a smile in mind.”
Please click through to their awesome little site and look at some of their other incredible one-of-a-kind pieces.
Unrelated… last Monday in April, hm. How in the heck… ?

One of the Hello Pretty team, Justin, left Cape Town yesterday for a blissful 2 week break in Japan. So instead of writing about how bitterly jealous I am, sitting here in these foggy overcast conditions, I’m posting some vintage Japan snaps from the Flickr Commons.
This one’s a little more modern (from 1966), but I loved it and had to include it. Japanese Origami, photographed in 1966.
