Dr Seuss is in town!!!

 

Mamas and papas, THANK YOU so much for all the appreciation I received for the first of our Dr Seuss bunting range that I introduced at the start of the year!  I'm so thankful for all the love, as I've finally expanded the range with new additions and a re-stocking of the very first Green Eggs and Ham bunting.

For the moment, I've added Cat in the Hat, Fox in Socks, and Oh, the Places You'll Go buntings to the range, and am hoping to add The Sneetches and Mr Brown Can Moo to the range too.
And if you've got any favourites you'd love to see adorning your little one's room - drop me a line, I'm always happy to take special commissions!

Anzac Biscuits

As Anzac Day approaches (on April 25th for those of you who aren't in the know) for those in Australia and New Zealand, many start cooking the iconic Anzac biscuits for the various biscuit bakes, school fetes and get togethers that happen at this time of year.

So for those of you on the hunt for the PERFECT Anzac biscuit, I've put together a roundup of recipes for this classic cookie.  Whether you love your biscuits crisp and crunchy, a little chewy, with less or more coconut, or with NO coconut at all, there's something here for all of you - enjoy!

"We're all mad here" and other fun literary quotes

I know it's been a bit quiet on here of late, chalk it up to my busy work, home and social schedule!  But I'm back today to share a peek at some new creations making it into our Autumn/Winter 2019 range of bookish lovelies.

Over at Two Cheeky Monkeys, our new season range has been inspired by my long love of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, also known as Alice in Wonderland by many.  There's something for both the ladies and the gents, with the Cheshire Cat making a special appearance.

And over at Domum Vindemia, our Autumn/Winter offerings are all charm-related.  We're expanding the keychain/planner charm range with the addition of beloved quotes that you, our beautiful customers, can't get enough of!

But as always, if there are any quotes that you particularly love, just drop us a line, and we will very happily create a bespoke item just for you.  Leave me a comment below with some of your literary favourites!
