I’m starting to think we should always have a public holiday on a Wednesday – it’s a great way to get through the week! Though I have to admit I did have a moment when I thought it was Saturday! We’ve had quite a week in TN HQ – getting ready for the trade expo at the end of the month, restocking some of our lovely stockists, and making some changes around our Etsy and Felt shops! More on that to be announced soon but you may have noticed that we now offer FREE shipping on all our items if ordered from Etsy to any New Zealand location! Woohoo!
I hope you all have had a lovely week and have great plans for the weekend. We’re headed to Taupo to a fun farm wedding! We’re quite excited for the glam camping by Wildersnest and to help with the styling on the day!
- Love the elegant touch this geometric necklace provides!
- These latte bowls are the perfect size for anything and everything – just the best.
- How precious are these alphabet trays?!
- 15 minutes Thin Mints made from 3 ingredients, winner!
- Absolutely love these vases – spotted them about a year ago and still love them!
- Tell them how you feel with these lovely vintage push pins.
Hope you’ve enjoyed this weeks roundup and have a fantastic weekend! x

What a beautiful summer New Zealand has been experiencing these past few weeks! I don’t think I’ve had this kind of heat and clear blue skies in years – and am loving it!
One of the great things about living in Auckland compared to Wellington is that people love to wear colour – it reminds me of when I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles. You go from an all black wardrobe to an assortment of brights and patterns - something this designer loves! One can’t help but feel vibrant and happy when surrounded by brights!
A lot of new things have been buzzing in the studio this past week! We released our latest addition to the shop: baking decorations! Here you can find cake and cupcake toppers in all our designs. And don’t forget, just like with any of our work – have something in mind but don’t see it online – let us know and we can custom make it!
We’re also working furisouly away getting ready for the New Zealand Gift and Homeware Fair - our first trade show! Not to mention working on two new products to be released soon and a few markets coming up as well! All to be released in detail soon..!
Now enough talking and onto link sharing:
- Vibrant streamers and pom poms light up this barn in a heart felt Main wedding.

Well we did it!
The summer / winter break is finally here and it’s time to kick off those shoes and enjoy some time off! Yesterday was my last day of the “day job” for the year – I was one of those lucky people to finish at noon and then had a lovely catch up with Rachael from Made from Scratch at the beautiful new Libertine at the redone Victoria Markets.
If you’re cutting yourself off from the world this break, have a great time! If you’re like me and sticking around, catching up on things, we’ll be here!

My oh my who can believe we’re onto our last day of November 2012! I can still remember last year as if it were yesterday… still living in Wellington, just printing our 2012 calendar, getting excited for my parents visit to New Zealand…oh how time flys!
With time flying so quickly it helps us realise how much we really do have to cherish the little moments and those special people around us. With that I came up with this week’s roundup – a simple but elegant collection of different gifts for the sisters / mothers / friends in your life! I personally sent off my mom and sister’s gifts in the post today (next time must think feather light pressies!) as tomorrow is the last day for internation air parcels to arrive on time! (a little hint hint for those waiting to purchase items x)
- This week I discovered Sprout and Sparkle from Brisbane, Australia and frankly would be over the moon to receive anything from their beautiful store!
- What better way of saying hello to those close to you than a cheeky reminder in their wardrobe.
- Have lots of gifts to buy this year? This lovely pamper package by Little Flower Soap Co is sure to bring a smile without breaking your wallet!
- For a personal touch try a monogram mug available from Anthropologie.
- These funky socks from J.Crew will surely brighten up your stocking stuffers!
- Want to give something a bit more personal? Baking is a fantastic affordable way to show you care this season!
