Toodles Noodles // October WallpaperHappy October everyone!

Anyone else out there very excited that BBQ season is just around the corner?
This month we came up with two designs and couldn’t decide which one we liked more. After asking you folks – it turned out that the votes on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook were practically even – so we thought why not offer both!

Hope you like them and remember: keep smiling, have fun, and laugh lots!

Enjoy!

To simplify things I’ve only made two sizes of the design but it should work on most screens – just use either the “centre” setting or “fit to screen” if it doesn’t look quite right.

Gifted Design Store

This past week I was lucky enough to go back to my favourite New Zealand town – Wanaka! I positively love this lakeside town. It has an enormous charm, stunning scenery, great eateries, strong coffee – what’s not to love!? While there I popped into one of my favourite stockists Gifted Design Store. I met Rachael and Caz at the last NZ Gift Fair and knew we would hit it off right away! If you’re ever down south and in the area, make sure to pop into their store! Though beware you will want to purchase everything inside!

How did the idea of the store come about? There was a real gap in the market when I started it 8 years ago. I use to go the city and covet the beautiful Design Stores wishing there was something like it in Wanaka!!
