Weekly Roundup - 19 July

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you've had a great week, I personally have been struggling come back from holiday and getting into work mode. With the Gift Fair coming up in only six weeks, it's time to stop dilly dallying and really get cracking! There are a few new products and designs in the works and all will be revealed in the weeks to come! In the mean time, stay tuned here and our other social media outlets.

Weekly Roundup - 22 February

Holy smokes I can't believe Friday is here yet at the same time I welcome it with big open arms! We've been burning the midnight oil around here the last few weeks gearing up for the big NZ Gift & Homeware Fair - our first big trade fair! We're also super excited to announce that we will be exhibiting two new products at the fair...but unfortunately we are keeping mute until then (I know, the suspense is killing us too!). We had the great honour this week to be featured on the Baby Life Online Magazine - Oodles of Delight at Toodles Noodles!  Such a fantastic surprise! Lastly, if you're looking to purchase some items from us in person, we'll be at Ponsonby Central Markets again this Sunday from 10am - 3pm. Hope to see some of you there!

1. During the summer months I cook Mexican about 4 times a week, this new recipe for braised chicken tacos looks like a winner! 
2. These pillows inspired by dawn have just enough pop in colour for that stylish lounge.
3. Really loving the new range of prints by Paper Moon.
4. I think I'll take one in each colour thanks! LOVE.
5. How adorable is this homemade dress? Click here to learn how to make your own.

Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and to possibly see some of you on Sunday! x

Weekly Roundup – 11 November

Oh my goodness!  Where has this week gone - preparing this week's weekly roundup I just couldn't believe Friday has come again so quickly!  It feels like we were just down in Wellington meeting some very lovely people at Craft2.o and the Wellington City Market.  I hope you all have had a fantastic week filled with sunshine!  Mine's been busy with filling orders, creating our new notepad (sneak peek here!) design and printing our first wedding invitation request! Now without further ado here's this weeks roundup:

1. Now I'm not one to condone drinking but the packaging of Death's Door Spirits by Grip Design Inc would look quite splendid on a home bar.
2. Alyssa Nassner is an illustrator based in Minneapolis, who uses beautiful colours and strokes in her work. This illustration is part of her "life advice" series.
3. These pillows are made with metalic paint, handprinted and on hemp pillow covers - perfect! Found on {me}longings studio Etsy's store along with more beautiful products.
4. This cute tank comes in multiple styles and colours - what a great gift idea by designer MNKR.
5. These little cuties are handmade in the USA...am I the only one wishing they came in adult size?
6. As a big fan of coffee and of design this product is a winner in my eyes! Designed by Boheem in Sydney for One Tree Coffee Co, a boutique Espresso Bar in Newcastle NSW who sell their freshly made ice coffee on their premises.
7. Last but not least a sweet treat!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend wherever you are! And just think we're just about 6 weeks away from the holiday season kicking off - wowie! x
