Stay Awesome Collab Candle
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! [caption id="attachment_2621" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

Nothing over two dollars
Say what?! That's right - this weekend at the Little Big Markets we'll be having a MASSIVE sale with nothing over $2! Our sale table will include end of line items, designs that never made it to the store, and a few 'preloved' pieces. Of course apart from the big sale table we'll be selling all our regular items including things from the new Adventure Range. So make sure to bring those coins as you won't want to miss this sale!
Custom Furniture
Since moving into our new house in December my partner and I have been on the lookout for THE dinning table. After doing some research we've decided that we want to support a local artist and design our own to fit our dining room perfectly! We're basing our table of this design, which my partner found via Pinterest due to someone in the US wanting to do something just like us!
Since deciding we want our own custom table we've found so many local New Zealand talented furniture designers. Here are just a few of the ones we've found thus far.
George and Willy make fun, functional, robust products. Taking very careful consideration not to over design our products, we engineer them based on their primary function.
Hanlon & Howe was founded out of respect for quality craftsmanship and simple design. Built to be used, loved, cherished, and kept, all of my pieces have an old-world sturdiness that you rarely see in today’s all to frequent buy-destroy-repurchase cycle.
We are a Husband and Wife team based in Canterbury. Lilyjane Boutique has been a dream of ours for a very long time. We love what we do and put so much of ourselves into each piece, so we are very excited to be sharing them with you. We hope you appreciate them as much as we do.
Here at Trestle Union we believe that good design can be affordable, and with our range of trestle products, we have created no-frills products that don’t compromise on style.
WRW & Co. was established in Dec 2012, priding itself on New Zealand made, customised furniture which is thoughtfully crafted and repurposed from locally sourced materials. WRW & Co is a young company, but is maturing and constantly honing the craft. Will continues to grow and stay true to the company's beginnings - making high quality, unique products primarily out of repurposed and sustainable materials.
New items - Adventure Range
We know we've been saying it for a while now but the day has come! We have started listing some of our new adventure range products on our online stores today! Keep an eye out on our Etsy and Felt stores for new products will be uploaded throughout the week! Also make sure to check our retailers page to find some of these items in a shop near you! Lastly we'd like to thank Jo Rusling for taking such stunning images of our new products! We were lucky and had our photo shoot on her first official day in her new studio and it was perfect! Beautiful lighting, great props, and tons of fun!

Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies
Hello again Toodles Noodles readers, it’s Lydia from Lydia Bakes here again bringing you another yummy recipe. These cookies are an absolute favourite in our house. Everyone I’ve shared the recipe with has kept it as their go-to cookie recipe, once you taste them you’ll know why. The cookies are delicious and chunky, with a bittersweet chocolately kick. The best part is they’re made with oats so they’re filling too! Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies Recipe by Jo Seagar Ingredients: 250g Butter, softened 3 T Sweetened Condensed Milk 3/4 C Sugar 1 1/2 C Flour 1 1/2 C Rolled Oats 1 t Baking Powder 200g Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped (I use Whittaker’s 50%) Preheat oven to 180 degrees C and line two baking trays with baking paper. Beat butter for about 30 seconds then add the sweetened condensed milk and sugar. Beat until light and creamy. Sift in the flour and baking powder then throw in the oats and chopped up chocolate. Mix together until nicely combined then roll heaped tablespoons full of mixture into balls and place on baking trays. Flatten with a fork (I love the look that gives them!) and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool cookies on wire racks and then try not to eat them all at once, believe me, you'll want to!
