Gosh it feels like forever since we did a weekly roundup! It was quite liberating to take a wee break and now have come back full of energy and great finds! Now for the big announcement we’ve been waiting to share…
What a year it has been for Toodles Noodles – we have seen significant growth and are still overwhelmed and humbled that our products and designs are so well received. All of this wouldn’t have been possible without your help!
As some of you may be aware, at the moment Toodles is my passion, and is done alongside being a full-time graphic designer for another company. It has been a challenging year of dividing my time and attention to both companies, with much of Toodles Noodles work being done during the evenings and weekends – but it has all been worth it.
With that, I am extremely excited to announce that as of the New Year, I will be working full-time for Toodles Noodles! Now what does this mean for you? More attention, new designs and products coming out on a regular basis, and the opportunity to do bespoke work – just for you!
My partner and I have bought our first home (yay!) and are moving to the countryside. I’ll now be located about 2 hours outside of Auckland and have a view of rolling hills outside my new office windows. Trips to Auckland will be often as you couldn’t keep me away from all the amazing markets, restaurants, and people.
I am extremely excited about this new chapter of my and Toodles Noodles’ life.
Just as a reminder here are the markets we will be attending for the rest of the year before we close up shop for the move.
Sunday, 24 November – Matakana Indie Markets – 9:30am to 2:30pm

Happy weekend everyone! Oh, I’ll be back in Christchurch for the next week and a half, so if you’re around make sure to connect and say hi!
The oh so talented Citta Design have launched their 2013 winter collection – London Town! Their new colours and patterns are as always spot on. This new collection is to celebrate the amazing city of London and the people who inhabit it. The bold colours, crisp lines, use of plaid are done perfectly. To learn more about the choices made behind this new design and the inspiration for the designs there is a video with the designers behind it all on their website.
To all my readers in the southern hemisphere - Happy Summer everyone! As you may have read from my previous post – the weather here in Auckland has been a bit pants but as of tomorrow we’re supposed to experience sun for a whole week! I’m getting quite excited about the prospect of going to the beach, exploring waterfalls, going on walks – oh the possibilities!
Yesterday we went strawberry picking – my first time berry picking! I had such a blast even though it was a bit drizzly out and we left the fields with 4.2kg worth of delicious, ruby red strawberries! In hindsight that may have been a bit of overkill but we had a blast doing it and now have heaps of berries for our morning smoothies – win win!
So with all this excitement of summer I decided to make this weekly roundup a bright and colourful one! I hope you’re all having a great holiday!
- Stunning single Marbella Hammock from Citta Design – want.
- Beautiful packaging done by Curious Design for Phoenix Organic beverages – it just looks so refreshing!
- I’ll take two margaritas please!
- Protection from the sun is important down here – this stylish hat is available at Witchery.
- You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! This beautifully packaged organic ice cream picked up a silver award at the Best Awards this year.
- You can’t beat a good beach towel – Country Road has a great range on sale now!
I sure do hope you are all enjoying some delicious sun and enjoying the holidays with those close to you! x
