The Home of.... Free People's Senior graphic Artist...

This beautiful eclectic Philadelphia apartment is the home of Free People's Senior Graphic Artist. I love it! Full to the brim with interesting prints, patterns and textures, not to mention tons of rare vintage finds... plus any home with a Modesty Blaise poster and an Oliver Sacks book is pretty damn fine in my opinion.

These images were shamelessly poached from the Free People Blog, make sure you head on over and check it out here

The cafe of...Xoli Ormut-Durbin

Café Xoho, Tel Aviv, Israel

A VIBRANT AND NOMADIC PAST has fed into every corner of this exciting space in Tel Aviv. Dreamt up by the ever-energetic Xoli, born in Hong-Kong and studied in Australia, Xoho, an arty café in the heart of the city is the result of Xoli’s experiment, bringing an artistic coffee culture to the Israeli city.

Xoli studied graphic design in Melbourne, deciding to move there after getting to know it during a two month visit, escaping the Hong-Kong SARS outbreak in 2004. On graduating Xoli followed her family to Tel Aviv. With some life-long friendships forged after a brief stint getting up to mischief at a Kibbutz years before, (a place where she was supposed to be learning Hebrew), Xoli alongside one of her Kibbutz companions Howie, decided to set up Café Xoho.

“Our aim was to breathe some creative life into an already saturated market of generic coffee shops in Tel Aviv. We are a home away from home. A living room bursting with wonderful aromas and the laughter of happy people.”

With artistic influences from her mother and a business minded father, it seems only natural that Xoli’s path lead her to established a buzzing hub of creative hospitality. One year after opening, Howie decided to back out of the venture returning back to law and sparing their friendship.

If one thing has become clear for Xoli, it’s that opening a café can be tough, and opening a café in Tel Aviv when you’ve only lived there a year, well that happens to be on another level completely

Happy New Year

Whoops..... I went Awol..

I can only apologise for my disappearance over the last 2 weeks.

It was actually unintentional but much needed. I have just started a new job as an A&E nurse and as I expected it is exciting, harrowing and intense. I have spent the last fortnight coming to terms with the job move, seeing hideous stuff and the crazy amount of learning I have to do in this new role, whilst juggling christmas and plans for the New Year. 

But Moon to Moon is back.. and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank a few people that have been fundamental in 2012...... Sara and her fellow Sisters of the Black Moon, Kerrie from Gypsy River, Danielle from Beyond Marrakech, Lizzy and Spelly from Spell and the Gypsy Collective, Kelsi from Pandeia, The wonderful Pearle Love team, Zoe from Gypsy Sister, Nur from El Hieroglyph, Kelly Marie from Harem of peacocks...... but most of all I want to thank you all for your continued support, kind words and inspiration. 

Happy New Year!!!

I would also like to mention my lovely friend Felix who took his life in September. There is a big funkily dressed, cheese eating, Beastie Boy loving hole in all our lives without you. I hope you have finally found peace xxx

Insta-Homes.... Karie Reinertson from Shelter

I have become obsessed with instagram. Call me nosey, but I am so interested in people and how they live, I think thats why I became a nurse. So many people have such beautiful homes that they share on instagram, so I put an instagram call out for people to share theirs and I have been overwhelmed with images.

So this is the first of my Insta-homes posts, featureing the home of the talented bag maker Karie Reinertson from Shelter. I have chosen this home as it has such a beautiful, warm inviting feel, full of beautiful textiles and patterns. I would love to sit on that chair, read a book and listen to a bit of Dylan. The beauty of her home is reflected in her stunning hand made bags... i Urge you to check them out here.
