Happy Friday everyone - my goodness where has January gone!? This month has truly flown by - we have been busy designing new products, designs, meeting some amazing manufactures around New Zealand and of course making time for those BBQ's and soaking up some sun! We are also super excited to report that all our felt flags are now back in stock - woohoo! So get on ordering! We will also be bringing stock along with us to our upcoming markets - so be sure to constantly check our schedule. We hope you all have a lovely (long for some) weekend!
Happy Friday y'all! Not everyone is back in the office yet but those of us who are - congratulations to making through the first week back after the holidays! We took a lovely break and went down to Wanaka to spend time with family and enjoy the lovely South Island scenery. So refreshing. This Saturday we will be attending the Tairua Food & Wine festival! It looks like a fantastic day out and are very excited to be exhibiting. We also will be at the Tamahere Market on the 17th for all you local Hamiltonians. This week's roundup has organisational theme. A new year brings new beginnings, goals and a clean slate. Here are some great finds to help those looking to be a bit more organised for 2015.
Happy Friday everyone! Who can believe that Christmas is only 2 weeks away - this year has really just flown by! Things are slowly winding down for us but before we go on a nice little break we do have 3 more markets for those last minute shoppers: This Weekend Saturday: Gordonton Market, 8:30am - 1:00pm, Gordonton Highway Next Weekend Saturday: Tauranga Christmas in the Park, 2:00 - 9:30pm, Blake Park Sunday: Rototuna Market, 10:00am - 2:00pm, 85 Barrington Drive As some of you may be aware we are an ongoing contributor to the NZ Design Assembly, a great resource for Graphic Designers. This week we put together this ultimate gift guide for those hard to shop for designers (yes, I know we are hard to shop for :) ).

We are so honoured to be a part of the first collab with The Market NZ. The Market NZ is a fantastic company based out of Auckland helping promote small businesses like ours and connecting them with lovely people around the country. For the holiday season we've teamed up with Joy Candles and Factory Ceramics to create a very special tumbler. The citrus and coconut scented soya candle was especially created by Joy Candles just for this collaboration. Then the great people over at Factory Ceramics took our lovely 'stay awesome' design and put it on their beautiful tumblers. Once the delicious scent has finished, you can reuse the tumbler and remind you or the lucky recipient to keep being such an awesome person.
Each candle comes with an illustrated card telling the story of each creator involved in the project. To find out more, you can read all about the collab and The Market NZ in the latest issue of Your Home and Garden! [caption id="attachment_2621" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

Happy Friday everyone! Sorry we've been a bit less consistent with the 'weekly' roundups - it's been quite busy around here filling all the orders gearing up to the holiday season! We promise in the new year blogging will resume it's usual schedule :) This week we have sent orders off to stores all around New Zealand and some new exciting stores over in Australia! We have also met some fantastic people in our local community as we've been out doing some great markets. This weekend we'll be up in Auckland at the Michael Park School fair on Saturday and the Matakana Indie market on Sunday! Come along for some great shopping, food and fun! Just a couple date reminders: to ensure your overseas parcels get to loved ones on time - you might want to start thinking about posting everything by the first week of December. Also we will be closing our online stores mid December for some R&R and reopening mid January. We hope you have a fantastic weekend where ever you are!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've all had a fantastic week. This week we've made some fantastic new contacts, signed up a few new stockists and had our first Christmas market! To keep up with all our markets this season click on our market page! We are trying our hardest to keep the products in stock but if you are after something special check your local retailer. I hope you all enjoy your nice long weekend (for those in NZ) and if you are around we'll be at the Tauranga Arts Festival on Sunday! Happy Weekend!
Happy Friday everyone - I hope you've had a fun week! This past week we've been posting out lots of orders to stores stocking up for Christmas, including some new stockists over in Switzerland and Australia! Last Saturday we also celebrated our 3 year anniversary surrounded by some very talented people and delicious food at the Tauranga Kinfolk Gathering hosted by On My Hand. It was a truly spectacular evening! This Saturday we are still on the wait list for the Tamahere market so stay tuned with us on Facebook to know if we will be attending. On Sunday we'll be at the new Rototuna Market so pop along and say hello! To see what markets we are participating in this year click here for all the details! As most of you are aware, I am a huge fan of coffee. I love the flavour, the comfort feeling it brings and of course it's magical power to keep me going! This week for our roundup I found some fun typographic mugs out there for us coffee (or tea) lovers. Enjoy!
I am super honoured and excited to announce that our latest tote bag has been a personal request by Holly Becker from Decor8. Since listing our products on Great.ly (a new website that links small designers like myself and blogs around the world) it has really opened up some amazing opportunities. Great.ly and Holly have teamed up to create Holly's back to school must haves.
All products have been tried and tested by Holly herself and are available on, you guest it, Great.ly.
