On a beautiful sunny autumn morning, we were lucky enough to be invited to have a chat with Vanessa Perilli at her gorgeous light-filled Melbourne abode. And what a treat awaited beyond the stunning lush olive tree that greeted us in the front yard. Vanessa is the creative brain and self-described one-woman band behind V.Happy Co – makers of cute as personalised children’s alphabet art prints. (We had a feeling her home would be just as fun and joyful as her designs.)By day, she is a Designer who specialises in branding and typography. By night, after tucking her little ones into bed, you’ll find her packing orders, designing posters, creating content, answering emails and anything else involved in running V. Happy Co. In this Heart-to-Heart, Vanessa shares the inspiration behind her small biz, how she keeps the creative juices flowing, styling advice for kids' rooms and lots of other pearls of wisdom. Take it away Vanessa… Shop apparel here and cushions + rugs here. How would you sum up V.Happy Co in one sentence?Life’s too short to have boring walls! V.Happy Co brings playful design to kids’ bedrooms and play spaces.Tell us how this beautiful business of yours was born! What first sparked the idea?The idea for V.Happy Co was ignited long before it came to life. Its journey started with the design of my baby's nursery when I first found out I was expecting. Being passionate about interiors and styling, creating a nursery filled me with much excitement. It was my dream job! One piece was essential; Enzo Mari’s 'La Mela', iconically designed in 1963. I found an original silkscreen of the print and this was the perfect excuse to buy it. Little did I know that this artwork would profoundly impact my work and my baby, Hazel.As a new parent, I was confronted with the diagnosis of my baby's hearing loss, which was confirmed at five months, but detected at birth. Motherhood didn't unfold as I had imagined. I spent the first year consumed with appointments and countless conversations with support workers, absorbing the overwhelming information through tear-filled eyes. While there were many beautiful moments, these were also accompanied by sadness, but I had to put on a brave face for my baby.'La Mela' hung over Hazel’s change table and at 1.2m, it couldn’t be missed. As expected, Hazel’s speech was delayed, despite early intervention and speech therapy. From Hazel’s waking moment, I made every effort to sing, rhyme, talk non-stop and read different books. I’d point to 'La Mela' and repeat “Apple. Apple. Apple.”. Then one day, at the age of 14 months, Hazel uttered her first word “A-PO,” marking a significant milestone filled with joy, laughter, tears and relief.I’m a strong typographer (that’s someone who designs fonts) and to aid Hazel’s ongoing speech therapy, I conceptualised a simple idea of combining images and letters to make the alphabet more engaging and memorable. Knowing Hazel was a visual learner, I aimed for simplicity in design, drawing from my graphic design education and the timeless essence of 'La Mela'. I’m not an expert in deaf education, but when I reflect, this project was my way of showing Hazel my unwavering commitment to her development.That was it. The very first moment that would eventually become V.Happy Co. Unlike most business owners, I didn’t see a gap in the market, my motivation was to help my daughter along her literacy journey. It took five years to share the Alphabet with the world. When I finally launched the business, after my 2nd child, Winter (yes, that’s her name) was born, it began with greeting cards, as the Alphabet remained too personal to release until later. Now that I am comfortable, V.Happy Co is working on something exciting to help others and give back. Stay tuned… Shop the new kids + baby range here. Shop the Musk Stick Stool here. How do you get inspired for new artwork? And when do you feel most creative? I find inspiration everywhere, from the world around me to my own life experiences and even the funny things my kids say, do and draw. I enjoy elevating simple ideas into something extraordinary—like who would've guessed that putting a face on a sun would become our biggest hit? I love to laugh. Humour inspires me to think differently. It makes V.Happy.As a designer, I'm constantly collecting visual references. I have folders full of stuff! I’m a regular at galleries and discovering contemporary artists is a passion of mine. My bookcase is a work in progress, filled with design books I've been collecting for over two decades. These have been a constant source of inspiration. Whether I'm working on a project for V.Happy Co or a client, I strive to create concepts that are effective rather than trendy. I’ll never design something that just looks pretty, it needs to have an idea— that 'a-ha moment', where people wonder,

You can look at some things and feel their age. They have a certain warmth. I love old things, rusty things, things that have stories. I love the faded colors, the bright colors, the retro colors. I love that certain colors can transport you to a different era.

Looking to upgrade your back yard? Well we've got 6 simple deck designs, but built in beautifully landscaped yards. These decks aren't just about functionality; they're about creating a vibe, a mood. Imagine stepping out to a space that blends seamlessly with the outdoors, where the boundaries between inside and outside blur. A place for morning coffees or to have dinner outdoors. These decks all use simple landscaping materials such as pavers, stone & rock to incorporate your deck into your yard by building pathways and garden beds around the deck itself. When using TuffBlock deck blocks, you can build the deck portion in a matter of hours when the deck itself is a simple rectangle. But when blended into the yard with some simple landscaping tricks, it elevates it to a whole new level. Hopefully these inspire you and get you thinking about how you could transform your own yard! This first deck shows how you can build out from your home to create a patio deck, and extend the living space in your house. This type of deck is perfect for an outdoor living area. Think about using stones around the deck to frame it. The symetrical plants at either corner of the deck along with the L shaped couch make this a perfect place to sit and enjoy the outdoors that leads perfect out to your garden. This type of deck is also perfect in winter where the stone and paved pathway allow you to stay out of the mud whilst still using the space. This deck is similar, but is floating in the yard as a stand alone platform. A floating deck platform is a great place to have dinner during warm summer nights. Adding pavers to your lawn is a great way to connect the deck to the house, and the gravel/stone around the deck is great for hiding the deck blocks under the deck. This deck is built into the garden bed at the end of the yard. The pathway connects is seamlessly to the house, and allows you to sit in your yard whilst enjoying the nature around you. A two toned deck is always a nice touch. A floating ground deck is perfect for a bbq and inviting friends over for a feast! Building on a slope yard? Well TuffBlock allows you to build using posts at various heights for a deck like this. Consider creating a bench as part of your floating deck for an extra place to sit. You can also build a firepit next to your deck to warm you up in the evenings! We hope these six stunning examples of floating decks have sparked your creativity and inspired you to embark on your own backyard transformation. Each deck, with its unique blend of simplicity and style, demonstrates how when using deck blocks, like TuffBlock, a single day's effort building a floating deck can result in a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. Whether it's a cozy corner for your morning coffee or a spacious platform for social gatherings, the possibilities are endless. Now it's your turn to bring these ideas to life! Grab your tools, choose your design, and start building. Remember, the beauty of these decks lies not just in their construction, but in how they harmoniously integrate with the natural landscape of your yard. We can't wait to see the incredible spaces you create, transforming your outdoor areas into personal havens of relaxation and joy. Happy building!

So, if you are anywhere in the world except for California or Florida, you are probably snowed in today. Enough of winter! This has been a really cold one for Texas and I’m ready for summer and sunshine and beaches. Last week I showed apartments to rent while in Paris, but really, wouldn’t you whether rent a house in Provence and pretend you are Vicki Archer? I know I would! Here is an assortment of houses to rent. There seems to be more cuter houses available than apartments. I could have shown about 50 great houses today. I tried to pick a variety of houses there were large and small, and with views and no views so you could pick what you really would want in a rental. Enjoy! HOUSE #1 This villa, available HERE, Bastide Lavande, is surrounded by lavender fields. The mas is so pretty – who cares what it looks like inside? Actually, the inside is nice: tiled floors, seagrass, and antique country French antiques! I love the dining room and how it opens to the outside through true French doors. Gorgeous fireplace and mirror! Notice the cute side table on the right. I wish I owned a hundred of those tables! The view outside the living room looks over the acreage, 20 acres around the house and over 1,000 around the estate. Outside the house is a large graveled terrace that overlooks the estate. And a large swimming pool, surrounded by stone walls. Six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Notice the French doors and the hardware. Adorable! Another cute bathroom. This house has it all. A large property, views, old fashioned house, and pretty interiors. HOUSE #2 L’Ambiance HERE is located within walking distance to the town of Goult and is considered a townhouse. The property is on 1 1/2 acres and has a beautiful garden with fountains and a swimming pool. The swimming pool is set into a stone wall. The house is filled with beautiful antiques inside and out. The 17th century farmhouse is a rarity in the town with its acreage. The beautiful wood door opens up to the house. The house is stunningly decorated, one of the best ones I saw. I just know an American owns this house! I love the silk pillows, the painting, the tea table, and the fireplace! Limestone floors and stucco walls. The mantel is gorgeous. Authentically French! You can see into the dining room here. Such pretty antique tables. The kitchen is every bit as pretty as the rest of the house. Precious! I love the wood carvings over the beds. The house is small with only 3 bedrooms and baths. Notice the gorgeous night stand. Another bedroom, perfectly furnished. Darling chair. Notice the small niche next to the bed. Each bedroom has a small sitting area. The master bedroom is so pretty with its fireplace and painting and sconces. The bathroom is through the arched door. The master bathroom. I love all the wood cuttings in the house. I just love the way this house is decorated. Great bathtub! Another sitting room. Cute child’s chair. The wine cellar. Another view of the swimming pool. I think I might have to pick this house to rent. I’m more into the interiors than the location and I love the way this is decorated! But, this one is basically a town house and not out in the country with sweeping views. Does that matter to you? HOUSE #3 The next mas, Les Vignes, is located within walking distance from the medieval town of Goult, seen here on the property, through the clouds. The stone house is small with just 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and is reasonably priced. The graveled terrace sits next to the arched French doors that once probably led into the barn. The terrace, looking the other direction towards the pool. The swimming pool is set within stone walls. Notice the charming stone pool house. Inside the house, the living room is charming and cozy. The kitchen is adorable with all the skirts in lieu of cabinet doors. Another view of the kitchen shows the pantry and the arched ceiling. Notice the large column on the left that holds up the ceiling. There is a mix of French antiques throughout the house. One of the four bedrooms, in white and linen. The remodeled bath – love the window! Another bedroom with antique iron bed. The grounds are so charming and beautiful. Les Lignes would be perfect for a small family – I really like this one too. It’s got views and a cute interior, yet close to a town. HOUSE #4 Villa Le Relais is in the Luberon Village, located HERE, and has 4 new bedrooms and 4 bathrooms and a new kitchen. Here, the living room/dining room. Notice how the walls are painted two colors to simulate wainscoting. The dining area with antique buffet. Looking up at the second floor balcony. Beautiful arched windows. The table set for dinner. The newly built kitchen. You can see the living/dining room through the doorway in the kitchen. The terrace runs from the kitchen to the living room. Typical French checked fabric and limestone floor. Another bedroom, the faux wainscot is painted throughout the house. A typical tiled bathroom. Villa Le Relais overlooks the terrace and the swimming pool. The terrace next to the swimming pool past the stone wall. The swimming pool. Small, nice furniture, with views, but in some photos it seems like the neighbors are close by. HOUSE #5 Mas des Pierres HERE near Avignon has five bedrooms and five baths. Here, the traditional gravel terrace sits next to the converted barn door. This 17th century farm has been recently remodeled. Overlooking the grounds. This house is furnished with antiques. Unfortunately, many of the pictures were too small to show here. The large living room and dining room in one space. A corner of the living room/dining room. The kitchen is so wonderful and authentic! One of the bedrooms. All the bedrooms are charming, decorated in typical Provincial style. One of the bathrooms, traditional, not contemporary. The terrace at Mas des Pierres. The house is traditional with antiques, five bedrooms, and with a nice property and view. Do you want something more modern or traditional? HOUSE #6 Bastide Vallat HERE is located in Luberon Provence. The 7 bedroom and 7 bathroom mas has recently been completely redone. It is very large and luxurious and very expensive to rent. There is a “garden kitchen” and an outside eating area. The furnishings are modern and there are very few, if any, antiques. The bar area sits behind the sofa. The bar area. The remodeling is first rate. There are beautiful wood French doors throughout and the floors are limestone. The stone walls were kept exposed. The kitchen is amazing – set within the stone wall arches. All of the bedrooms have sitting areas. This one is huge! In this bedroom, the sitting area is behind the bed. A designer obviously was hired to completely furnish the mas. All the rooms flow together in a cohesive design. Notice the charming small windows set into the stone walls on the right. The bathrooms are all luxurious. Each is fitted out with robes and towel warmers. This spa bathroom with a steam room and massage tables is located next to the gym. Of course there is a wine cellar! A private sunbathing terrace. Of all the houses, this one is most decorated and extravagant. It is also the most contemporary. Would you rather rent a smaller, more charming mas or a larger, more contemporary one like this with all the bells and whistles? HOUSE #7 Fleurs de Provence HERE in Alpinnes Provence is the largest house and the most expensive. It has 10 bedrooms and 9 baths. The grounds are large and beautifully landscaped especially during lavender blooming season. There is also a tennis court, seen in the upper left corner. The terrace overlooks the grounds and has its own fireplace. The mas has been completely renovated. It has a mixture of antiques and traditional furniture. Despite its size and cost, the interiors are not dressy. The breakfast room is the most charming one in the house. There is a completely fitted out kitchen. The stairs. A large bedroom. The furnishings seem lacking when comparing the property and the landscaping. Another bedroom. All the bathrooms are tiled like this. Fleurs de Provence is a beautiful house and its grounds are wonderful, but the furnishings seem ordinary. Would that be important to you? Would you rather have the grounds or the furniture or both? HOUSE #8 La Belle de Crillon HERE literally hangs off the cliff overlooking the town of Crillon le Brave. It has six bedrooms and six baths. There are incredible views from each room in the house. The house is four stories, but there is an elevator inside! The views are incredible from this mas. The swimming pool is at the bottom level. Completely remodeled and refurbished, the house is elegant and somewhat dressy. Stone floors and stucco walls, the house is professionally designed. The large dining room has beautifully painted walls. What a range!! The tiled floors are beautiful. Another bedroom with tiled floors. Charming bathroom with footed tub. Every salon and bedroom share this view of the countryside. This house almost has it all, the size, the elegance, the view, the furnishings – but there is no large property. Would that be important when choosing a house to rent? Would you care if there was only a small area outside to sit and enjoy the sweeping views?

These cut and glue worksheets are a little different from the last several sets that are posted. The kids I have this year love to color, and I prefer to print nice eye appealing color worksheets! But, for this series, I have made their workbook in black & white, unless I couldn't find the graphics I wanted, so they can color. By the way, I use these for the kids that are early , or on time as we wait for the late students. If they are too late and we have started the lesson, they will be able to take the book home at the end of the quarter and do the cut, glue & color. The first set is what I am using and the kids will cut and glue the pieces to the picture. And, the second set of links is the same graphics, just without the cutting and gluing and are pictures to color. I printed the workbooks on different colors of cardstock and the pages for them to cut are printed on regular white paper. Also, the downloads do not have the numbers in the bottom right corners.
