Etsy Finds - 19 June
Happy Friday everyone! As you may have noticed we've renamed our 'Weekly Roundup' to 'Etsy Finds'. We want to showcase more handmade work and promote small artists around the world.
This past Sunday we attended our sixth Auckland Fair. The day was a great success and really enjoyed seeing all those lovely faces. This coming Saturday we will be at the Tamahere Market from 8:30am - 1:00pm outside Cambridge. Our next Auckland market is the General Collective Market on 1 August in Ellerslie.
We also have a special announcement and deal coming up this week in our newsletter. If you haven't signed up you can do so at the bottom of our website.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!

Weekly Roundup 5 June - Auckland Fair
A big happy Friday to everyone! The sun is finally shining in these parts - I hope you all managed to stay dry this very rainy week.
This week we have been busy with putting together new products and designs for the coming holiday season. We also blogged a new free wallpaper for June which can be found here.
Also a bit of a milestone for this little company, we now have a showroom space at the beautiful Source Home + Object. If you are a retailer or stylist in the Auckland area this is a great destination for some amazing brands.
Next week (gosh that came up quick!) is the biannual Auckland Fair! We've been attending the fair since 2011 and it's such a blast every time! We get to see familiar smiley faces who have purchased from us before, we meet more amazing artists from around NZ - we love it.
SUNDAY 14th JUNE 2015
11am to 4pm
Shed 10, Queens Wharf Auckland CBD
$5 entry, kids under 12 free
This week's roundup is just a small snippet of what you can find on the day. Be sure to look at the website first to find out information about cash, location, time, etc. We'll share closer to the date where we'll be located in Shed 10 for those wanting to say hello and purchase something on the day.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Free June Wallpapers
It's official - we are half way through 2015! This year sure is flying by, it feels like we were just having summer BBQs just a few weekends ago...
This month for the free wallpaper saying is brought to you by my Mr. A nice little reminder when we're busy at work or out and about running errands to just take a second and take it all in. It's so easy to get run down by everyday life - so let's remember to enjoy it life - savour the moment. This new design is available to download for free for your computer, iPad and iPhone.
Thank you so much for following our blog and loving our free wallpapers. It's so great to go the the markets and have people show us their phones with the designs on them! This all started about 3 years ago when I wanted something neat for my phone and couldn't find something out there and have kept going ever since - so thank you again! Without your support, Toodles honestly wouldn't' be where it is today! Enjoy!

Weekly Roundup 29 May
Happy Friday everyone!
There is no denying the fact that winter is truly here with us waking up to -2 degrees this frosty morning!
This past week we were in Auckland for the first Hatch'd Boutique Fair - we had a fantastic time! It was lovely to meet so many of you and other fellow creatives.
Our next market is the Auckland Fair, on the 14th of June at Shed 10 in Auckland. It's a fantastic event held twice a year - look forward to seeing some of you there!
Hope you all keep warm this long weekend.

Weekly Roundup 15 May
Happy Friday everyone - I hope you're all safe and dry and that crazy storm yesterday. Sorry we didn't end up having a roundup last week. We had some unexpected power outages in the studio with cabling work and had to take an unplanned day away from the computer.
This Saturday we will be at the Tamahere Country Market - just on the main path when you enter - from 8:30 am - 1:00pm. And next weekend we will be at the new Hatch'd Boutique Fair in Auckland which runs from all day Saturday through Sunday. Tickets can be purchased through their website and is located in Ponsonby Central, upstairs in the Sapphire Room.
This weeks roundup is dedicated to, you guessed it, ceramics. As you may have heard me mention before, I have a big soft spot in my heart for handmade ceramics. As a kid I dabbled with the material but never did anything with it. So this winter I thought it was time I found myself a new hobby and signed up to an 8 week course that meets one night a week for 3 hours. I'm three weeks in and completely addicted. Thus far I've created 3 bowls, 1 jug, and 2 beakers. Here are some people who have inspired me along the way.
- Karolina Grudniewska of KaroArt in Dublin
- Lisa Jones of Pigeon Toe in Portland
- Renee Boyd Ceramics in New Zealand
- Sam Nichols Pottery in New York
- Katia Carletti in Adelaide
- Georgia Leiby of Center Ceramics in New York
- Robert Gordon Ceramics in Australia

Weekly Roundup - 24 April
Happy Friday everybody! This week has gone by in a bit of a haze. There has been a nice mixture of designing new products, filling orders for our shops full of Mother's Day goodness, and finishing up some great side projects for some fantastic clients.
This week's weekly roundup is inspired by the amazing artists I have the pleasure to meet at the weekend markets. One of the great things about markets is meeting other like minded people all around the country. This is only a taste of some of the talent I've met along the way - there are so many more amazingly savvy artists out there - but I'll share them with you another day.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Weekly Roundup 17 April
Happy Friday everyone! Sorry we didn't have a weekly roundup last week, we were off in Wellington for a long weekend. It had a been a few years since our last trip down there - man what a great city. We had a blast catching up with old friends, eating way too much food, heading out to Martinborough for some wine tasting and doing lots of walking and exploring.
We regret to say that with travel usually comes tummy bugs and we seem to have caught one on the way home and won't be able to attend this Saturday's Tamahere Market. If you were hoping to pick up some Mother's Day gifts from us this weekend we are sorry for the inconvenience but of course our online shop is open 24/7. Or pop into one of our lovely stockists near you to see our products in person.
This weekly roundup is for those fab men - buying gifts for men is never easy so here are some good finds.
Enjoy!

Weekly Roundup 27 March
Happy Friday everybody! We've woken up to an Autumn day here in the Waikato with a chill in the air and dew on the ground from the rain last night...I will miss summer but am also excited to get the blankets out to snuggle up on the couch and get the fireplace up and running again!
There have been some enquiries on why our Etsy store and our personal webstores have different prices, so I thought I would take today to help answer some of those questions. Our Etsy store is listed in USD as it is a great way for people outside of NZ to find and purchase our products. As the USD is quite strong at the moment if you are based in NZ the prices are significantly higher due to the NZD being lower for the time being. There is free shipping from our Etsy store to anywhere in NZ but because the US dollar is higher there is still that jump. But no problem, if you live in NZ, you can still buy our products from any of our lovely stockists found here or on our own store - whichever suits you best! Of course if you have any other queries please feel free to contact us.
This Saturday we will be at the General Collective Market in Ellerslie, Auckland from 9am - 3pm. So if you live in the area we recommend you try to come along as it's a fantastic market!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Weekly Roundup - 20 March
My oh my it has been quite some time since our last weekly roundup, and man do I miss making them! Things have been nonstop around the studio: we have launched lots of new goodies, including two collaborations, we had our biannual trade show and our lovely stockist list keeps growing!
And of course as you can see - we've launched our own webstore and new website!
A few things will be changing up this year and we will continue to keep you up to date in our blog and in our newsletter which you can sign up for on our website. One of those changes will be that we will be doing less markets this year so be sure to tune in on social media for our market schedule.
This Saturday you can find us at the Tamahere Market from 8:30am-1:00pm and next weekend we'll be up in Auckland for the General Collective Market Day in Ellerslie from 9:00am - 3:00pm.
Have a great weekend everyone!
