Seeing beauty everywhere

 

On a rather gloomy day I thought I would spruce up the font courtyard by sweeping away all the wisteria leaves that had recently fallen. As I swept, I noticed that the central stem of the flowers and leaves were quite similar to pine needles so I retrieved them from the swept up muddle of leaves to see if I could make a small basket or bowl with them. 

Laying them out in bundles reminded me of calligraphic strokes - isn’t nature wonderful!

 Who knew such beauty could be found in a pile of leaves ready for the compost!

Here's to 2026 and a new year of possibilities.

For many reasons we are quite glad to bid farewell to last year but we are excited to start this new year with positivity and a burning creative force. We hope 2026 will be a fabulous one for you all.

We have just begun a new series of gift tags for the lovely little store in Battery Point - Habeō. This will be the first drop of our 'Nature' series featuring hand stamped images on our luxe 36% cotton rag card stock. These are quite a generous size for a small sturdy gift tag and offer plenty of room on the reverse for a thoughtful message. 

We love using natural materials in our work so we were very pleased to have supplied 'Wild Island Tasmania' with our hand painted river stones recently and we are hoping to create a series of these including the iconic Tasmanian deciduous beech leaves. 

May the year ahead be an inspired, creative and healthy one for you all.
