I believe that most of our creativity and inspiration come by watching, observing and understanding what is around us. Not everyone can, not everyone is able to convey a message into what has created.

Heather Moore is the exquisite designer behind Skinny LaMinx, the lovely creations you see here. She lives in Cape Town and maybe you can see, as well I do, how much the surrounding environment and wildlife seem to have influenced her work with little pieces of Africa trying to escape each cushion, tea towel, armchair and fabric.

Their simplicity is what makes them special, likeable and easy to imagine in every room. The full collection is available on Etsy, and from Etsy it can get wherever you are.

About the author

Lilac

Lilac & Yellow started as a way to escape, a place where to share stories, news, beautiful things. It is evolving, although I am not sure where it's heading yet: I know one day it will find its way. For now, it shows my love for all things… Empowering, sweet, delicious, challenging, creative, inventive, intuitive, romantic, groundbreaking and hidden around the world.
