Happy Friday everyone!
It’s amazing how fast the week flew by and how the summer that seemed to never end is surely disappearing before our eyes. We’re slowly but surely getting out of holiday mode and back into work mode! We’ll be back at the Ponsonby Central market this Sunday from 10-3 if you’d like to get your Mother’s Day shopping done early or just say hello!
Also all our new tote bags, prints and invitation designs are now available through our Etsy store. We promise to get these up on the Felt store soon! If you’re wondering who did our latest product photography – that would be the very talented Natalie Morgan of Natalie Morgan Photography.
Hope everyone has had a lovely week and remember if you ever have any special requests or queries, just email us! x
- Extraordinary hand done lettering by Molly Jacques.
- We may have a slight obsession with everything in the Inkkit store…
- How fun is the Kate Spade Saturday line?
- This hand painted fabric envelope makes the perfect accessory.
- We found out about Gingiber a few months ago and smile every time we see their designs – how could you not?!

Is it us or did this week just fly right on by?
We are happy to report that we’ve shipped off a big lot of wholesale orders this week so you can now find us stocked up around New Zealand! We even got a lovely surprise on our walk home tonight and found one of our new stockists had devoted their window display to our new tote bags. What an amazing surprise – it had us buzzing the whole walk home!
Last week we sat down and did an interview for Mums on Top. There you can read more about how we manage our time, our dreams, and what keeps us going.
The last little update from us – is we will not be at the Ponsonby Central Markets until after Easter – we will be heading down to Wanaka and the Sounds for a wee holiday! But you can always buy from us online, open all day, every day!
With it technically being Autumn, it seemed appropriate to do a fun roundup on sweatshirts. There seem to be so many neat jumpers currently available!
- Nicola and the Newfoundlander have a fantastic assortment of animal sweatshirts – but this Boston Terrier won my heart.
- Darling hand embroidered onto cashmere, how could you not “ooh and ahh” over this one?
- It may be a little past Valentine’s Day but digging these candy hearts!
- Love wearing your Mr’s tops? This lovely top has just enough him and her.
- The name says it all: Oh la la!
- Here we have french, stripes, and a pup illustration – winning all around.
- You all know I’m a sucker for anything nautical – the orange accent just hit the mark.
- I’ve had a crush on this top for over a year – thinking this winter it will finally be mine.
- Great design for a great cause – perfect.
Seen any good tops lately? Would love to see them! ‘Till next time. x
Here is our third and final post about the Gift Fair this past month. For being our first expo / professional trade fair we are quite proud of our wee stand, which received some fantastic feedback. But we couldn’t have done it without the help of some very important and talented people.
Our stand layout was designed by the very clever Shaye Woolford from On My Hand. Shaye was fantastic in helping us layout the booth, figure out what props to use and she even hand painted our sign – what a clever cookie! These lovely images were taken by the super talented Coralee, who did an exceptional job. Our booth had the misfortune of having the overhead lights out and one very bright spotlight – so you can imagine she had her work cutout for her. Also a big thank you to Rachael from Made from Scratch for taking time out of her super busy schedule in helping man the stall and calming the nerves.
And of course as mentioned before the great support and time of my partner and friends for helping me along the way!
Thank you again everyone for following this journey!

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. We’ll have a stall outside the beautiful and full of deliciousness Ponsonby Central. It’s always a great day to walk about the streets of Ponsonby – full of music, great deals, and amazing food.
With the Southern Hemisphere experiencing an exceptionally long summer and the Northern Hemisphere going into Spring – we’ve put together a colourful roundup for you this week!
- What’s not to love about Zoe Karssen’s navy Love sweatshirt?
- Canary yellow hair on hide leather clutch – now that’s the perfect statement maker accessory.
- Digging the illustration on this vinyl.
- The details and flair on this bikini just look positively flattering.
- How fantastic are these pillows from Trina Turk?
TGIF everyone, hope you have a fantastic weekend, and if you’re in the area please do check out the market on Saturday! x
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!
- During the summer months I cook Mexican about 4 times a week, this new recipe for braised chicken tacos looks like a winner!
- These pillows inspired by dawn have just enough pop in colour for that stylish lounge.
- Really loving the new range of prints by Paper Moon.
- I think I’ll take one in each colour thanks! LOVE.
- 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

Well who can actually believe that the holiday break has come to an end!? I’m not sure about you, but I’m certainly not ready to go back to regular life starting Monday. My staycation has been lovely but just not quite long enough.
I’ve been lucky enough to have my partner at home with me every day – thus a date with him every day! We’ve been exploring different beaches, parts of Auckland, cooking delicious meals, and relaxing around the house.
With garnet being January’s and my birthstone – here’s a bright red roundup for you this week!
- A fantastically fun tutorial on how to do two-toned lips!
- Martha Stewart has come out with a list of Valentine’s Day cocktails - this Rasberry Chocolate Kiss Cocktail looks delish!
- Just love this cherry illustration by Lisa Masterson – it’s so sweet.
- Finding this bow bandeau bikini absolutely adorable- who can resist bows??
- Just love this whole outfit.
- Red velvet melting moments sound like just the best baked good yet!
- Do you have a Valentine? Let them know with this heartbreaking print.
Until next week lovelies! x

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- This cute tank comes in multiple styles and colours – what a great gift idea by designer MNKR.
- These little cuties are handmade in the USA…am I the only one wishing they came in adult size?
- 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.
- 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!
