A Shop!

Well, I know I seem to have something exciting to reveal just about every time I write a post, (maybe I'm a little easily pleased!) but this really is a big one!

I can now confirm that I will be opening a retail space in approximately a fortnight! The space will be located in the top section of Manic Organic, Shop 1 / 409 – 411 Princes Highway, Woonona. I can't wait to move into this space, (vacated by EcoDepot, who are off WWOOFing for a year in Europe) and am frantically working to open within the timeframe I've set - wish me luck.

Just some of the wonderful items my space will be featuring are:

• Ruby Victoria Lino Prints and Letterpress Printed Stationary
• Jewellery by That Vintage, The Little Button, Flamboyant Jo and more
• My new line of organic screenprinted t-shirts for men, women and children, as well as a selection of handmade children's clothes from my label.
• Original handmade bags by Silk & Purple
• Japanese linen purses
• Homewares from Sydney designer Cushiontree and artist Rose Colbeck
• A small range of loveable softies
• Eco Journals

and much, much more - watch this space for info on opening.

P.S. Still trying to think of a name...

howling for owls & fox and cubs

ok, let's just make it very clear that I never meant to make an owl print. Really. There are owls everywhere at the moment, and I guess I thought I really didn't have anything to add to the theme. But it seems there is a reason for owls being everywhere - people keep asking me for one!

So I've been resisting and avoiding and changing the subject until

yesterday. And what changed my mind? Let's just say that someone, (and you know who you are) used a very dirty trick. Despite my attempts to be a hardened and cynical businesswoman, (stop laughing, Mum) if someone says "well...my son just loves owls so very much" I'm going to give in every time. Very dirty trick indeed. So are you happy now K? Here's my version of the owl just for AJ :)

And another newbie hot off the scalpel is the fox and cubs. I've had a really great response to this, particularly on the brighter green and the lovely soft olive coloured singlets. Can't wait to start some more prints for the organic men's and women's tees that just arrived. As an aside, I made the mistake of sending out for ideas for men's designs and was rewarded with the following very helpful response from my son's godfather: "boobies". Oh dear.

If you have any fabulous ideas that don't involve anatomy, please throw them my way!
