Weekly Roundup 14 November

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!

Weekly Roundup 25 July

A big happy Friday to everyone! Even though it's quite frosty outside things in the studio have been are looking hot! New calendars for 2015 have come back from the printers, custom display stands have been making us giddy with excitement and new designs are popping up every day! We had a fantastic Saturday last weekend at the Tamahere Market - thank you to everyone who braved to cold and came along. It was a fantastic market and hope to do it again soon! There won't be a weekly roundup next week as we'll be off exploring Melbourne! We are beyond the moon excited to visit this amazing city for the first time - eat amazing food, drink lots of coffee, and checking out some spectacular artists at the Life in Style show! Hope you all have been having a great week!

Weekly Roundup 14 March

A big happy Friday everyone! What a massive few weeks we've had! With the build up to the gift fair, the three days exhibiting, the follow up, filling orders - phew! It sure does give a big adrenaline rush! We have some amazing new stores joining the Toodles Noodles family which you can find here. I know we've been telling you that the new products are coming and we promise they are! We have having a fun photo shoot this coming week so fingers crossed we can have everything online for purchase by next weekend! Woop da woop! We will also be at the Little Big Markets for TWO days over Easter weekend! They have lots of amazing stuff lined up so if you can, come on by and say hello! We'll also be having some specials at our stand with end of line sales and discounted gift wrap. Now there is no avoiding the fact that Autumn is coming to New Zealand (though the Waikato could really use some rain!). With new seasons come new beginnings, inspirations, memories. There are some really fantastic black and white themed home decor items out there for this winter. Here are some of our favourite finds. Happy weekend everyone!

Weekly Roundup 22 November

Gosh it feels like forever since we did a weekly roundup! It was quite liberating to take a wee break and now have come back full of energy and great finds! Now for the big announcement we've been waiting to share... What a year it has been for Toodles Noodles – we have seen significant growth and are still overwhelmed and humbled that our products and designs are so well received. All of this wouldn't have been possible without your help! As some of you may be aware, at the moment Toodles is my passion, and is done alongside being a full-time graphic designer for another company. It has been a challenging year of dividing my time and attention to both companies, with much of Toodles Noodles work being done during the evenings and weekends – but it has all been worth it. With that, I am extremely excited to announce that as of the New Year, I will be working full-time for Toodles Noodles! Now what does this mean for you? More attention, new designs and products coming out on a regular basis, and the opportunity to do bespoke work – just for you! My partner and I have bought our first home (yay!) and are moving to the countryside. I'll now be located about 2 hours outside of Auckland and have a view of rolling hills outside my new office windows. Trips to Auckland will be often as you couldn't keep me away from all the amazing markets, restaurants, and people. I am extremely excited about this new chapter of my and Toodles Noodles' life. Just as a reminder here are the markets we will be attending for the rest of the year before we close up shop for the move. Sunday, 24 November - Matakana Indie Markets - 9:30am to 2:30pm Saturday, 30 November - Auckland Art & Craft - 11am to 3pm Sunday, 1 December - Matakana Indie Markets - 9:30am to 2:30pm Thursday, 5 December - St. Heliers School Fair - TBD Saturday, 7 December - The Little Big Markets - 9am to 3pm Sunday, 15 December - Matakana Indie Markets - 9:30am to 2:30pm We are also trying to see if we can partake in the Silo Markets this year, so stay tuned! Now enough about us - here is where you can find those beautiful summer products!

2. Stackable picnic boxes, Recline
3. Happy Place towel, Castle

Happy weekend everyone! Oh, I'll be back in Christchurch for the next week and a half, so if you're around make sure to connect and say hi!

Citta Design - London Town

The oh so talented Citta Design have launched their 2013 winter collection - London Town! Their new colours and patterns are as always spot on. This new collection is to celebrate the amazing city of London and the people who inhabit it. The bold colours, crisp lines, use of plaid are done perfectly. To learn more about the choices made behind this new design and the inspiration for the designs there is a video with the designers behind it all on their website.

Weekly Roundup 28 December

To all my readers in the southern hemisphere - Happy Summer everyone! As you may have read from my previous post - the weather here in Auckland has been a bit pants but as of tomorrow we're supposed to experience sun for a whole week! I'm getting quite excited about the prospect of going to the beach, exploring waterfalls, going on walks - oh the possibilities! Yesterday we went strawberry picking - my first time berry picking! I had such a blast even though it was a bit drizzly out and we left the fields with 4.2kg worth of delicious, ruby red strawberries! In hindsight that may have been a bit of overkill but we had a blast doing it and now have heaps of berries for our morning smoothies - win win! So with all this excitement of summer I decided to make this weekly roundup a bright and colourful one! I hope you're all having a great holiday!

1. Stunning single Marbella Hammock from Citta Design - want.
2. Beautiful packaging done by Curious Design for Phoenix Organic beverages - it just looks so refreshing!
3. I'll take two margaritas please!
4. Protection from the sun is important down here - this stylish hat is available at Witchery.
5. You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! This beautifully packaged organic ice cream picked up a silver award at the Best Awards this year.
6. You can't beat a good beach towel - Country Road has a great range on sale now!

I sure do hope you are all enjoying some delicious sun and enjoying the holidays with those close to you! x
