Weekly Roundup 23 August

Happy Friday everyone!  This particular Friday is quite special as it's my Mr.'s birthday! He isn't really into birthdays (like this girl) so we plan on having a very low key day, traditional burger night, and some Veuve to celebrate. A lot has being happening this week here at TN HQ.

• Our 2014 calendars have arrived from the printers and are looking FAB! This year we'll be offering our traditional desk calendars and also introducing some new wall calendars (different format from last year) and a daily planner!
• The 2013 Spring catalogue for our wholesalers has been finalised and going out to in the post (just in time for the Gift Fair!)
• New holiday limited edition tea towels are with the printer
• We've added 3 new stockists to our amazing list of supporters (otherwise known as the fantastic shops that stock our products)
• and to top it all off we've been contacted to be featured in 100 client gifts by a local business!

So all in all, it's been a very busy, exciting, and encouraging week for this wee business! This week's weekly roundup is a bit of a hello to Spring which is just around the corner. I hope you all had a fantastic week and a fun weekend ahead. We'll be post some great photos of the new products, so make sure to follow the fun!

1. I can never have too many purses, and for me, the bigger the better.
2. Love this handmade lamp, crafted in Barcelona.
3. How great would it be to have your summer herbs in hanging planters right on your kitchen wall?
4. Cranberry-Almond cookie, get in my belly!
5. Another fantastic new design by Quill and Fox.
6. Adorable hand illustrated bookplates.
7. Love how this necklace reminds me of childhood macaroni necklaces but with endless class.
8. Warm weather means iced coffees, yum!

New fabric - sneak peek

This weekend we had the great honour of having our latest products photographed by the very talented Natalie Morgan. Her attention to detail, use of light, and ability to catch the moment is just remarkable!  Here are a few sneak peek images of our new fabric gift wrap. Doesn't it just look devine? These can currently be purchased at: Found My Way - Invercargill Gifted Design Store - Wanaka Madame Fancy Pants - Wellington The Storehouse - Taupo Can't wait to show you all the other new products and how well they were captured by Natalie.  But both you and I will have to wait until after Easter! Who knows we might just do another sale on our store with the big reveal. x

Gift Fair - Part 3

  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!
