I was recently approached by "the Finders Keepers" site to do a small interview. Of course I said yes. If you want to find out more click here!

reading is sexy!

They are made from 100% biodegradable corn plastic, grown and manufactured in the U.S. The inks used are lead-free.

Stop getting a paper cup every morning and instead use this environmentally friendly alternative; it breaks down naturally in composting and is microwave safe.

And because it's corn-plastic, you can drop it on the ground and not worry about breaking it.

BPA-free Plastic!

And for those days when your mug is dirty, stick one of these on your bumper and let everyone know you care!

Atomic Ranch

A year or so ago a friend introduced me to Atomic Ranch magazine and I sat on his lounge room floor devouring issue after issue. So I'm guessing my sweet husband thought it would make a great Christmas gift. My first copy arrived in the mail today and here I am sitting with a nice cup of tea in my Hornsea cup, at my Parker and Chiswell dinging table looking out the window of my own little midcentury ranch in Frenchs Forest, dropping names here there and everywhere, feeling a lot like a mid century kind a gal!

Mmmmmm.... maybe I should stock this magazine.

Sounds in the Woods

I discovered Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu a few years ago while I was looking for something beautiful, gentle and calming to play in the shop. I have this little thing where I go to the Aria award winners in Best World Music, they always seem to be such amazing albums and this is where I discovered Geoffrey. If you have time read his bio, I can't begin to list the amazing things this extremely talented blind multi-instrumentalist has achieved. Australian music at it's very best.

Well hello handsome!

I think I just found a new man for all my single girl friends! Meet Mr. Lovesong... and his friends.

Knitted Gum Balls

I did post a late last year about talented knitter Christien Meindertsma and her beautiful Sea Urchin creatures. Well it seems there are now a few suppliers importing very similar designs into Australia, these are some I found a the recent trade fairs. They are now in store and measure approx 40cm in height and 40cm diameter and so very show stopping! RRP $170

Glass

One of the big trends at this years trade fairs in Sydney was vintage glass with a very apothecary influence. We have a great range coming in store from a few different suppliers around the end of April. 

Jill Bliss

Oregon based illustrator Jill Bliss takes doodling to a whole new level. I love her detail and intricacies in nature and the world around her. Her talent for interconnecting people plants and animals is breathtaking. When we owned Pulp we stocked a lot of Jill's products, since branching off into another direction we will only be stocking the divine notecards below. Enjoy!
