Weekly Roundup 28 March

A big happy Friday everyone! What a magnificent week it's been. Autumn is coming - the evenings are getting just chilly enough to cuddle under a blanket and the days are still full of great sunshine! This week has been quite busy with releasing our latest range of products and shipping orders out to our stores non-stop! I am so thrilled at the response our latest designs have been receiving - so thank you! I t's also a little ways a way, but just a heads up, we'll be having a BARGAIN section at our next market over Easter Weekend! Saturday and Sunday over the Easter weekend we will be participating in the fantastic Little Big Markets and we've decided to bring along some items to sell at bargain prices! This week's roundup is full of bold designs and colours - enjoy!

2. A greeting card with a punch by one of our favourites stationers ThePaperCub
3. We couldn't agree more, print designed in the UK.
4. Who needs a shopping list when you have this tote?
5. A little notebook for all your ideas.
6. Beautiful wood work from the USA.
7. The cutest t-shirt designs in the USA.

Exploring by foot - Christchurch

Last week I went down to Christchurch to work on a design job. Since moving to New Zealand, I've now been lucky enough to travel there a total of five times, unfortunately only one pre-earthquake. This last time we were lucky and didn't work too late in the evening, leaving me the opportunity to do some exploring. I put on my running shoes, stuck my headphones on and just started running. Now I am possibly one of the worst runners out there, but being able to see this city on foot and see what's changed, what's still in taters, what's been turned into art, was a great eye opener. This city is bursting with creativity and beauty but is still unfortunately full of everyday reminders of travesty from three years ago. All the images in this post were taken on my iPhone just around golden hour - it was so beautiful to see the city really shine in such rich light. This city is truly beautiful and is full of possibly the nicest people you'll ever find in New Zealand. I promise to take some more pictures (with my proper camera) when I'm down there again next week!

Weekly Roundup - 2 November

Well who can believe that November is already here and there are only two more months in 2012?!  Where did the year go? I hope you all have had a lovely, sunny week - it's sure been a busy one here at Toodles Noodles HQ getting ready for Craft2.0 and The City Market in Wellington this weekend and filling orders along the way. Not to mention, have you seen the reveal of our amazing styled photo shoot in collaboration with the extremely talented All the Frills, Made from Scratch and Coralee from Coralee & Alex? We'll do our own post soon but in the mean time scoot on over to MFS to see her lovely posts! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and if you're in the Wellington area, we do hope that you pop in to either market and say hello! x 1. These beautiful wedding invitations are designed across the pond in Sydney by Rebecca McGrath and are ready for you to just print - how perfect is that! 2. Anyone else feel like this poster was designed for them? This beautiful piece of work was done by the Design Studio. 3. Originally painted with watercolour on canvas all the way from Portugal by ARMINHO - stunning. 4. As a little girl, my after school treat with my sister and mom was a glass of steamed milk and madeleines. This beautifully photographed image by Erin Nish brings back lots of happy memories. 5. As a San Francisco native my heart holds a special place for art from the Bay Area.  Heath Ceramics has breathtaking work that I make sure to swoon over every time I go home. 6. Feminine beer illustration and a reusable bag, love the combo Oh, Little Rabbit! Have a fantastic weekend everyone! x
