Weekly Roundup 16 May
Happy Friday everyone! Things around here have been chaotic while we prepare for our trip to the US! We’re off to California this Sunday for three whole weeks! While away we will be visiting family, spending a day at Disneyland, checking out amazing local shops and catching some sun rays! While we are away we will keep our shops open but will be sending out items a little less frequently.
If you’re interested in seeing some of our products in person of course you can always pop into one of our stockists or we have some markets coming up. Including the Auckland Art & Craft Fair on 28 June.
This week for our roundup we found some super sweet items which are all handmade! We hope you like them as much as we do.
Enjoy!

Weekly Roundup 1 February
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.
- Loving the typography treatment on this poster by Luke Williams.
- Gluten free has never looked so good – beautiful packaging by Nancy Hope.
- In love with this hand painted flower garland cake topper – what attention to detail!
- We found this shop earlier this week on Etsy and fell in LOVE – everything is just amazing!
- Rhubarb Ice Cream with Oatmeal Shortbread, don’t mind if we do.
- J.Crew has come out with a new line of boat shoes – I’ll take one in every colour and pattern please.
I hope you all have a great weekend and stay tuned for more announcements and February’s wallpapers! x
Weekly Roundup 18 January
Happy Friday everyone! Looks like 2013 is off to a booming start for so many people – including us here at TN! Just last week we found out that we might be able to move into a new bigger, sunnier home and just this Wednesday we found out we’re moving this Sunday! Nothing like a short deadline to get things going!
With that in mind I have put together this fresh, new feeling weekly roundup! I hope you find it as peaceful as I have and have a fantastic weekend!
- Nothing says comfort like Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with Stuffed with Homemade Caramel – oh yum!
- Loving the fresh olive branches on the table settings at this wedding beautiful wedding.

- These colourful spoons will brighten up any morning…
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and can’t wait to show you images of our new home! x
Bees Blessing
I have a soft spot for products made locally. When you combine that soft spot with cooking and beautiful packaging – things get can get a bit crazy! Over the past year, I’ve been lucky enough to meet Jo from Bees Blessing. And I can guarantee she is as delightful as all their products!
Tonight I made an absolutely delicious marinade for our chicken made with their latest treasure: Lemon & Thyme. I’ve never tasted anything so tender and full of flavour – it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken tenderloins were only marinaded for 30 minutes before being grilled. Here is what I made this evening (give or take).
1/4 cup Bees Blessing
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 tsp fresh ginger
2 Tbs fresh garlic
1 tsp chili flakes
1 tsp dried coriander
The chicken was served along side a large green salad made out of:
baby spinach
basil
sundried tomato feta
sundried tomatoes
pine nuts
sunflower seeds
Look for Bees Blessing in a cafe or store near you and make sure to pick it up on your next shop! I guarantee you won’t regret it!
Weekly Roundup 11 January
Well, we did it everyone – a big high five for surviving the first week back to work after the holidays! I’m not sure about you, but man was that challenging….email correspondance slow with some people still being away, work slowly trickling, the weather teasing – but we did it! And for those of you still not back yet, well we’ll just call you lucky ducks.
This Sunday, I’m having a birthday – a biggy actually! No big plans have been made for the weekend. My partner and I are going to dinner on Saturday night but apart from that I look forward to sunshine, coffee, wine, and relaxation. With that in mind – I came up with this week’s roundup! I hope you do enjoy and have a fantastic weekend as well. x
- Lovely Baby’s Breath typeface formed with Gypsophila/Baby’s Breath. The meaning of Gypsophila is to miss, to adore, and to give. Gypsophila often serves a supporting role, but its existence is significant.
- I sure wouldn’t mind spending most of my birthday weekend under this marvelous tree!
- Loving this coffee branding by Alex Westgate for the Coffee Shop.
- Yup, this cute kitty has the right idea!
- Crumble has always had a soft spot in my heart – rhubarb mulberry crumble you say? Now that sounds like a must!
- Thinking this lovely banner needs to hang in my office…
- And what’s a birthday without balloons!?
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and good luck easing back into work life! x
Weekly Roundup 28 December
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
Besotted Brand
Happy Tuesday everyone, I hope everyone has had a really lovely weekend. I had a nice relaxing weekend catching my breath and catching up with lots of very lovely ladies before the Christmas madness strikes. I’d love to hear what you got up to this very lovely sunny weekend, I hope it’s something wonderful and very relaxing!
This week, I present you with a fantastic stationery treat: Besotted Brand. Based out of Los Angeles, these folks know the true meaning of traditional letter writing and joy receiving a parcel in the post brings.
Their shop is positively lovely full of stamps, packaging ideas and absolute wonderment.
Enjoy! x
