Happy Friday everyone! I've had a fun week starting with attending The School's Photography 101 class on Monday and meeting some lovely ladies apart from learning some great photography tips! And to keep with the learning this week I'm attending my first cooking class tomorrow to learn how to make Gnocchi from scratch - should be super fun. A bit of business news - we have 2 new stockists joining our family - endemicworld in Ponsonby now stocks our 2014 Wall calendars, and The Parenting Place in Greenlane are stocking some gift tags. If you're looking for something to do this weekend I'll be at the Michael Park School Fair from 9:30-3:00 this Saturday. It's official, Christmas is less than 2 months away! With that in mind I've put together a fun collection full of great gift wrapping ideas.
Last week I received a very lovely gift in the post that had so much thought into the wrapping - it reinvigorated me and brought an enormous smile to my face! Receiving a gift is always welcomed, but when the giver puts so much thought and effort into wrapping it - it takes the gift up to a whole other level! It goes to show that the giver put in a lot of thought and time into picking that gift for YOU. With that in mind and the fact that I'm gearing up for the Holiday Season (yes, can you believe it?!) and my next expo I've done some searching for fun gift wrapping ideas. It's all about creating a smile at the end of the day, and if that can be accomplished by putting a cookie into a little brown bag with some ribbon instead of on a serviette I'm all for it! Happy Friday everyone and have a fantastic weekend full of smiles!
Mother's Day is coming! It's celebrated this year on Sunday, May 12 in New Zealand, Australia and the US! Is your Mum a baker, an organiser, or someone looking looking for a bit of colour to add to their home decor? We have a large assortment of gifts, gift wrap, and cards in our store - great for any Mum! We also offer free shipping to anywhere in New Zealand - yippee!
Here is our third and final post about the Gift Fair this past month. For being our first expo / professional trade fair we are quite proud of our wee stand, which received some fantastic feedback. But we couldn't have done it without the help of some very important and talented people. Our stand layout was designed by the very clever Shaye Woolford from On My Hand. Shaye was fantastic in helping us layout the booth, figure out what props to use and she even hand painted our sign - what a clever cookie! These lovely images were taken by the super talented Coralee, who did an exceptional job. Our booth had the misfortune of having the overhead lights out and one very bright spotlight - so you can imagine she had her work cutout for her. Also a big thank you to Rachael from Made from Scratch for taking time out of her super busy schedule in helping man the stall and calming the nerves. And of course as mentioned before the great support and time of my partner and friends for helping me along the way! Thank you again everyone for following this journey!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and we know how important it is to pick out a thoughtful card and gift for that special someone. Or in some cases how adding that extra special something and wrapping your gift just the way you pictured it. We’ve put together a gift guide to help inspire you for February 14. Here's a selection of some items for that big day all available for purchase from our shop!
Well it's that time of the week again - time for our weekly roundup! It's been quite a week around this neck of the woods. We moved house and studio last weekend (leaving us without internet until yesterday....sigh), we were super lucky and won tickets for the Auckland Seafood Festival this weekend through Te Awa Winery, and had some lovely birthday celebrations out with friends and delicious cakes from the lovely Made From Scratch. The shop also had a big week being featured in the Etsy Finds email with our Full of Hearts gift wrap, our Blue bird gift wrap making the front page and our Your My Superhero note cards made the new To & From Valentine's Day Guide - all of which has left me feeling well - a bit lovely dovey! With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I might just theme up this week's Weekly Roundup with a bit of a romantic feel. We also have heaps of gift tags, cards, prints all for that special day in our shop, so shop on by and have a nosey!
Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope everyone has had a really lovely weekend. I had a nice relaxing weekend catching my breath and catching up with lots of very lovely ladies before the Christmas madness strikes. I’d love to hear what you got up to this very lovely sunny weekend, I hope it’s something wonderful and very relaxing! This week, I present you with a fantastic stationery treat: Besotted Brand. Based out of Los Angeles, these folks know the true meaning of traditional letter writing and joy receiving a parcel in the post brings. Their shop is positively lovely full of stamps, packaging ideas and absolute wonderment. Enjoy! x
Can't wait to see what November has in store! x
