FREE 2015 FEBRUARY WALLPAPERS

Liora — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:43:25 +0000

Gosh February arrived before we were quite ready! This summer has just been so spectacular full of long hot days and BBQ filled nights.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner so we decided to make this month’s design a bit of a lovey dovey one. You can buy this design as a gift card, felt flag, or a stunning A3 gold foil print! All available in our shop.

Thank you so much for following our blog and loving our free wallpapers. It’s so great to go the the markets and have people show us their phones with the designs on them! This all started about 3 years ago when I wanted something neat for my phone and couldn’t find something out there and have kept going ever since – so thank you again! Without your support, Toodles honestly wouldn’t’ be where it is today!

Enjoy!

This month has made for some great memories! There have been trips to the Coromandel, Auckland and the Mount, BBQ’s surrounded by new friends, lots of designing and relaxing in the sun. To see some behind the scenes and sneak peeks of new products make sure to follow us on Instagram!

Happy Friday everyone – my goodness where has January gone!?

This month has truly flown by – we have been busy designing new products, designs, meeting some amazing manufactures around New Zealand and of course making time for those BBQ’s and soaking up some sun! We are also super excited to report that all our felt flags are now back in stock – woohoo! So get on ordering! We will also be bringing stock along with us to our upcoming markets – so be sure to constantly check our schedule.

We hope you all have a lovely (long for some) weekend!

Weekly Roundup 9 January

Liora — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 20:19:25 +0000

Happy Friday y’all! Not everyone is back in the office yet but those of us who are – congratulations to making through the first week back after the holidays! We took a lovely break and went down to Wanaka to spend time with family and enjoy the lovely South Island scenery. So refreshing.

This Saturday we will be attending the Tairua Food & Wine festival! It looks like a fantastic day out and are very excited to be exhibiting. We also will be at the Tamahere Market on the 17th for all you local Hamiltonians.

This week’s roundup has organisational theme. A new year brings new beginnings, goals and a clean slate. Here are some great finds to help those looking to be a bit more organised for 2015.

#EtsyResolution

Liora — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 20:10:42 +0000

A new year means new beginnings! Over the years I’ve had a lot of people approach me asking about my Etsy store: how I started it, do I find it hard, do I like selling on Etsy. Well the great people over at Etsy have heard you and are here to help! They have a new program starting at the end of this month to help people wanting to start a new Etsy store or improve existing ones. The program is called #EtsyResolution and it looks amazing.

They’ve teamed up with Clare Bowditch singer, actor and (more importantly, in this case) founder of Big Hearted Business. Clare will be lending us her business coaching smarts and helping work through the blockers that often hold creative folks back. Along Clare is Jess Van Den, a successful Australian Etsy seller and founder of Create & Thrive whose tagline is “Learn how to turn your handmade hobby into a successful business from those who already have”.

Here’s a quick overview of what #EtsyResolution is all about:

January 27 – Telling Your Brand Story

January 29 – Find Your Target Market

February 2 – Photography: Telling Your Shop’s Visual Story

February 5 – Shipping Tips & Tricks

February 9 – Search Engine Optimisation: Getting Found Online

February 12 – Get to Know (and love!) Your ‘Shop Stats’

February 16 – Marketing 101 (for creative types!)

February 19 – Creating Happy Customers (and nailing the art of repeat business)

February 25 – Live online Q&A with Clare and Jess

To join #EtsyResolution sign up here before January 25 to secure your spot!

This post is not sponsored by Etsy – I am just a strong supporter, fan, enthusiast and am excited to participate in this program to see how it can help improve my online store.

What a year!

We have 2 markets left before Christmas break this year:

Saturday: Tauranga Christmas in the Park, 2:00 – 9:30pm, Blake Park
Sunday: Rototuna Market, 10:00am – 2:00pm, 85 Barrington Drive

With the weather being so fickle this week we highly recommend that you check on social media to make sure that these events are still on before attending.

Our online shops are also open until Monday! All of our products are couriered around New Zealand, now we cannot guarantee that they arrive before the big day but they should be there 1-3 days after ordering…The online shops will be taking a wee holiday along with us for the week of Christmas. This means that all orders place between 23 – 28 December will be posted on Monday, 29 December.

Thank you all again for a fantastic year and have a great holiday!

Stay Awesome Collab Candle

Liora — Sun, 16 Nov 2014 21:02:44 +0000

We are so honoured to be a part of the first collab with The Market NZ. The Market NZ is a fantastic company based out of Auckland helping promote small businesses like ours and connecting them with lovely people around the country. For the holiday season we’ve teamed up with Joy Candles and Factory Ceramics to create a very special tumbler. The citrus and coconut scented soya candle was especially created by Joy Candles just for this collaboration. Then the great people over at Factory Ceramics took our lovely ‘stay awesome’ design and put it on their beautiful tumblers. Once the delicious scent has finished, you can reuse the tumbler and remind you or the lucky recipient to keep being such an awesome person.

Each candle comes with an illustrated card telling the story of each creator involved in the project. To find out more, you can read all about the collab and The Market NZ in the latest issue of Your Home and Garden!

Weekly Roundup 14 November

Liora — Thu, 13 Nov 2014 21:23:23 +0000

Happy Friday everybody!

I hope you’ve all had a lovely week. This week has just flown by here at TN HQ…so much so that I can’t even think about what to report on for you! This weekend we will be at the Rototuna Market on Sunday from 10am – 2pm, fingers crossed our new Eftpos machine will arrive in time! If not, there is a cash out facility on site just a few stands away. Our spot is the same as last time so just under the tree in the centre of the market.

Have a fantastic weekend!
