Handmade In Melbourne

I still can't believe that we have been featured in this wonderful publication. Check us out on page 196. The launch party was earlier this month in Melbourne. It was a lovely evening with a nice atmosphere, great wine and i even ran into an old boss of mine. Who, i must say seemed rather surprised to see me there and find out what i'm doing with myself now.

This is a great book profiling the work of 200 Melbourne artisans, a page for each with nice glossy photographs. Its is now on sale at all good books shops and newsagents.

New Banner & Tag Line

My winter cleaning slash business face life continues - i finally have my new banner made, and i love it.It started off just as a premade banner which i purchase from Thompson Designs with fawns but they kindly changed the design and added horses to match my business name. I feel the text font, colours and patterns are a good represention of the styles and themes i work in.
I originally came across their beautiful work when i was searching for a banner for my new etsy supply store Flox & Me, i found the perfect premade banner within minutes and have finally got everything loaded on both site now.

Thomson Designs can be found on etsy at www.thompsondesigns.etsy.com

I've also changed my tag line to read "Inspired Creations" The word inspired not only applied to the design process but also what i hope my customers feel when they wear my pieces. I'm very happy now when the way the label is represented, all i have to do now is start making new swing tags again...aghh!!

Vintage & Kitsch Fabric Coin Purses

For some time now i have been collecting quirky Japanese and retro vintage fabrics. I would go to local trash and treasure markets every weekend when i lived in the city, there would usually be a couple of stalls that had random lengths of fabric, beautiful retro vintage design for 20 cents a pieces. Very soon i had a whole crate full of fabric pieces and not really sure what to do with them. Buy sheer luck one night on during one of my “late night online expeditions” i found a supplier of hand bag handles and purse frames. After s few trial designs my “Quirky Coin Purse” line was born. These were and instant hit and immediately picked up by a couple of my suppliers.

I began to search for new and fun designs, on Etsy.com i can across a mountain of kitschy retro Japanese printed cotton fabrics, everything from Alice in Wonderland, to Bambi to cute birdies. Needless to say new carte of fabric is now over flowing with cotton delights


I’ve also just discovered a stunning little Quilting fabric shop is the small town i just moved into. They stock a lot of “classic” fabric designs, there i found some darling teal coloured fabric with floral design featuring birds, so i now have some “chic” styles to the line

Sadly these purses take ages to make, as all the purse frames need to sewn in by hand and with all the other goings on i haven’t the time to make too many. A small selection is currently in store at incube8r in Melbourne and i hope to have the full range listed on my website and my Etsy store in the next few weeks.

White Picket Fence Dreaming

After many months....7 in fact we have finally moved into our new house, in a quiet little South Gippsland country town. One of the space rooms in the house has now been converted in a studio/workshop/office/storeroom/place for magic and wonder and creating. Complete with tacky old 1960’s floral wall paper and matching curtains?????...!! The carpet is old, worn and going to get replaced when i find the time, but the cute little window fill the room with many hours of glorious sunlight and the whole room as a sense of warmth and belonging to it.....it already feels like home.
I wanted to say to big thank you to all my wonderful customers and stockist who have put up with all the chaos, un-contractibility (hmmm might be making up a new word there), missing stock, running out of stock....and not forgetting the many changes to all my contact details......it been a rough few months but everything is beginning to fall into place....and just in time as spring has sprung and it time to get the house in order for the new season.....Christmas is just around the corner.
IN OTHER NEWS......due to the moving (which took a lot longer than was expected or planned for) the Spring collection BLACK which was to be released on the 1st of August this year, has been put on until further notice. But we will however be releasing a collection of beautiful and unique jewellery for the summer.....watch out for future posts, details are coming soon.
