Weekly Roundup 17 April

Happy Friday everyone! Sorry we didn't have a weekly roundup last week, we were off in Wellington for a long weekend. It had a been a few years since our last trip down there - man what a great city. We had a blast catching up with old friends, eating way too much food, heading out to Martinborough for some wine tasting and doing lots of walking and exploring.

We regret to say that with travel usually comes tummy bugs and we seem to have caught one on the way home and won't be able to attend this Saturday's Tamahere Market. If you were hoping to pick up some Mother's Day gifts from us this weekend we are sorry for the inconvenience but of course our online shop is open 24/7. Or pop into one of our lovely stockists near you to see our products in person.

This weekly roundup is for those fab men - buying gifts for men is never easy so here are some good finds.

Enjoy!

1. Leather pack handmade in Ecuador
2. Copper finish side table handmade in California
3. Reclaimed wood breakfast tray from Kansas City
4. Rabbit the Jack Knife illustration from Vermont
5. Waxed canvas bag handmade in Milan
6. Moscow Mule recipe downloadable poster
7. Leather bracelet handmade Turkey

Weekly Roundup 27 March

Happy Friday everybody! We've woken up to an Autumn day here in the Waikato with a chill in the air and dew on the ground from the rain last night...I will miss summer but am also excited to get the blankets out to snuggle up on the couch and get the fireplace up and running again!

There have been some enquiries on why our Etsy store and our personal webstores have different prices, so I thought I would take today to help answer some of those questions. Our Etsy store is listed in USD as it is a great way for people outside of NZ to find and purchase our products. As the USD is quite strong at the moment if you are based in NZ the prices are significantly higher due to the NZD being lower for the time being. There is free shipping from our Etsy store to anywhere in NZ but because the US dollar is higher there is still that jump. But no problem, if you live in NZ, you can still buy our products from any of our lovely stockists found here or on our own store - whichever suits you best! Of course if you have any other queries please feel free to contact us.

This Saturday we will be at the General Collective Market in Ellerslie, Auckland from 9am - 3pm. So if you live in the area we recommend you try to come along as it's a fantastic market!

Have a great weekend everyone.

1. Pixels and Wood - custom signage & home decor
2. Amelie Manici - home goods and accessories
3. Swift - textile design 
4. Ashwurks - kitchen accesories
5. Peg and Awl - home goods and accessories
6. Foundry Co - Vintage industrial wall art
7. Mark Douglass Design - Glass pendants 

Weekly Roundup - 20 March

My oh my it has been quite some time since our last weekly roundup, and man do I miss making them! Things have been nonstop around the studio: we have launched lots of new goodies, including two collaborations, we had our biannual trade show and our lovely stockist list keeps growing!

And of course as you can see - we've launched our own webstore and new website!

A few things will be changing up this year and we will continue to keep you up to date in our blog and in our newsletter which you can sign up for on our website. One of those changes will be that we will be doing less markets this year so be sure to tune in on social media for our market schedule.

This Saturday you can find us at the Tamahere Market from 8:30am-1:00pm and next weekend we'll be up in Auckland for the General Collective Market Day in Ellerslie from 9:00am - 3:00pm.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy weekend everyone! It may have been a short work week, but we are always more than happy to say 'hello' to the weekend! Especially this one as we're headed back to Tauranga for the Little Big Markets. The day is guaranteed to be a hit - great people, delicious food, and sunshine - who could say no!? If you're wanting to know when we'll be at a market near you click here for a full list of our holiday market line-up. Or of course you can always purchase online either with Etsy (free shipping in NZ!) or via Felt. With the new month just arriving we felt a black and white themed roundup was just what the doctor ordered. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and hope to see some of you on Saturday!
