Weekly Roundup 21 September

Happy weekend everyone! Spring is well and truly on its way and with Spring comes new beautiful, fragrant blossoms!

Getting all the new summer products printed, shipping out big orders to our lovely stockists, designing a wedding invitation (to be shared soon!), geting the summer market lineup ready, and traveling to Christchurch for a big design job. Needless to say I'm really looking forward to a mini break we're taking over Labour Day!

Weekly Roundup 15 March

Oh gosh another week's gone by! So crazy to believe we are already three weeks into March - where is this year going?? This week we have been busy filling all the orders from our lovely new shops and getting ready for a big market this Saturday. We're super excited to announce that we'll be at the Ponsonby Market Day this Saturday starting at 11:00am.

Spring time gardens

Spring is in the air, the weather is warmer, the days are longer, and the birds are chirpier! It also is the perfect time to start planting for the summer to come. As we only have a wee deck with little direct sun (read lots of succulents, ferns, grasses planted) I can only dream of my perfect veggie / fruit garden.  Here are some great ideas of others fantastic gardens.
