What I'm listening to ...

No idea what she is singing but I love it, so cute and girly! I couldn't download the music from itunes so bought the cd instead. I reclaim the music in the evenings once the kids are asleep. I might ask my cousin to translate for me or maybe there is more fun in not knowing :)



I love the titles of Rosie Thomas' albums. They are a little bit AA Milne! "If songs could be held", "When we were small"

Kris Kringle Gift Ideas

I LOVE our Kris Kringle gift section. We have a fun selection of gifts that are guaranteed to be well received by anyone. Perfect for the office, mother's group ...


How gorgeous is this retro style print on the luggage tag?! A tag like this will make anyone smile when they see it on the carousel!

The wrapping on these MOZI soaps is gorgeous. A gift wrapped soap! The wrapping of our our soaps is something to be seen to be believed. Think MOZI, think MOR, think Glasshouse :)

Don't buy a random, useless gift for someone this year. There are no excuses ;)


Another cute idea are these handmade vintage wallpaper rulers. $4.95 :)

Summer ....

Sewing, reading, dreaming, writing, sounds like the perfect summer break (throw in a beach and some sun) ....

We are loving amy butler

cute and cuddly!

One day it will be possible to scratch and sniff the computer screen, or have touchy feely bits. For now though, take my word that these cute as pie toys from Mamas and Papas in the UK are ever so soft and oh so cuddly! They are bound to one day be scraggy too when they are dragged to a teddy bears picnic or a favourite teddy day at school in 6 years time. I think that it is the greatest compliment for a teddy to look worn. Loved! The perfect gift for a newborn :)

Party time for Henry!

Henry turned one last week and we had an excuse to use the Sambellina party range. I didn't get a chance to take a photo once it was all laid out, but here is a early on snap of the table. We had a red and white theme - with the exception of one pink balloon for Miss 3 :)

I am so grateful for all three of my children, and thankful that Henry has had a happy and healthy first year of his life.

What did we give him? These BRIO blocks were a huge success (with him & his brother & sister!). This morning he has pretended that the arched blocks are telephones. So cute! Click here to find them.

Teepees are back in stock!

FABULOUS gift idea this Christmas. I have put one aside for my three tiddlywinks - opened deliberately as I have sold three of their allocated ones in the past 12 months! If it is opened, I can't sell it :)

Beautiful Seasons ...

One of most popular wall stickers is the Seasons design from the American brand, Wall Candy. They have been selling out faster than we can keep up with them! With this latest container load arrived the Season elements air and Season elements land for added sweetness!

Finally ...

I have been locked away these past few weeks putting together the final touches of our Christmas Collection for 2009 and are just about ready to reveal ...

A friend of mine's status update on Facebook was that she had bought and wrapped all gifts for Christmas. wow!

Weddings ...

Thomas and Milly were part of my cousin Cathie's wedding party last weekend. They were so excited to be the page boy and flower girl. The theme was spring flowers and despite the rain outside, it was like a spring garden inside the church. Cathie looked so beautiful and radiantly happy :)

Thank you to my cousin Michael for these photos. Find him here
