We were thrilled to have our Black Anodized Rose Bud Pendant featured on Coolmompicks.com this week. They feature some great products including the beautifully colourful Danish Rosenberg bags which we spied Asger&Mum importing into Australia last month!

The postman arrived this morning with a special parcel -a box of chocolates! - from our new favourite store Mieke (above) in Belgium! Mieke is a gorgeous store with a great range of vintage style dresses, jewellery and gifts. Ahhh... the way to our hearts is certainly through cocoa! Thanks Mieke! xxx

We got a parcel in the post today which informed us about Earth Hour. "This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming...In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote." Be part of it...8.30PM, Saturday 28 March 2009.

This is a very belated thank you to Paul (of Tivi) and this wonderful wife, Dori, for showing us around Chicago last month. It was great to see the Tivi HQ, meet local celebrities (Eric!), head to their local (complete with old school photobooth) and taste the many culinary extremes the city has to offer! We were lost without these guys!

Polli put the kettle on... to top off tea time at Polli Barbara Sargent has knitted us two custom designed tea cosies! They are THE CUTEST things we have ever seen - one even features the umbrellas from our logo! So talented - we're trying to encourage Barbara to get an Etsy site to share her work so stay tuned!
PS. Our house blend of tea is T2; 3 parts Mont Pear with 2 parts Girlie Grey.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Near Future at Mosman Markets on the weekend. The talented Nicky Law and Julia Lee (soon to be Skinner) have been cooking up some beautiful screen printed tea towels. All designed and made locally they have a beautiful hand crafted feeling. If you can't make it to the markets you can now purchase online... perfect for Mother's day.

While in the states recently we met Susan of Hable Construction. We feel in love instantly with her Texan accent and soon learnt of her beautiful work. The sisters, Susan and Katherine, named their business after their family construction company. It fits perfectly as the collection of personal and home accessories (designed and made in the US) are so well made and considered - they're built to last! The bold, graphic style of the prints come to life with vibrant colours on thick canvas.
