Autumn is officially here!

It actually feels like Autumn today, pulling out the cardies and thinking about what we are going to wear this winter?! Hmmmm....let's see...



If only we were that cool!


Now that it is getting cooler you can go do some picking from the garden and we have the perfect vessel to house them!!!! These porcelain pieces are handmade in Melbourne by Angus & Celeste featuring flora and fauna artworks - they look pretty autumnal.

We love Mae


New in the shop Mae fabric wall stickers in lots of great designs!
The stickers can be moved around - scrunched up, smoothed out and rearranged again and again.

We will also be stocking their beautiful wrapping paper - you can frame it, wrap it, cover books or use for paper crafts.


As well as being quite good looking, fun and unique, Mae are always doing their best to be kind to the environment, always supporting local Australian businesses.  They use ‘eco’ inks and recycled cardboard packaging, not to mention their stickers are reusable and with proper care (and even a bit of improper care) will last for years to come.


Just some of the designs in store:
