Wye River

Spotted some wildlife at the Wye River Big 4 last week. We even saw a koala in a tree! Wye River is situated along the Great Ocean Road near Lorne, Victoria. It was great to see our koala friends, we have featured many koala's on our designs. Our Animal Friends Placemats have a lovely big koala on them. We also feature koala's on our Baby Animals and Animal Alphabet Moveables wall stickers as well as our Baby Alphabet Organic Baby range of bed linen, see below.

Magazines arriving in the letterbox is a treat, 10 minutes alone with a drink flicking through one is a dream. Imagine my delight as I was oohing over this month’s issue of House and Garden when I spied out of the corner of my eye our Butterfly Patch Moveables on the wall of one of the bedrooms featured. Oh what a buzz. Look closely and you will see :)

Designer Robert Ryan always brings a smile to my face. He is a man with a social conscious as well as being a skilful craftsman. Whether it is a vase, teatowel, tile, handkerchief or money box Robert Ryans designs always have a clever insight into the human psyche. All of his intricate designs are cut by hand. 
 
A Londoner, Robert Ryan’s papercutting artwork is soon going to be seen in wallpaper and showcased in a new book, ‘A Sky Full of Kindness’.

Glow Town wall stickers cause a buzz!
One of our favourite things is revealing new styles at the trade fairs. This last Life in Style fair was no exception. The product that created the most buzz was the Glow Town Moveables.

The glow in the dark feature caused lots of excitement. We love that the stickers look fabulous during the day but have that wow factor at night for kids and adults! This has been a product we have been looking forward to releasing for a while...
can't wait to see photos of these on the walls of our customers :)

Organic is Best!

'There are many benefits to organic baby clothing (and bedding), and one of the main benefits is the softness of the fabric.

This is because organic cotton tends to have longer fibers and creates less friction. Babies' skin can be very sensitive, and softer fabrics will irritate their skin less. Another important feature of organic baby clothing (and bedding) is that it contains no formaldehyde. Chemicals such as these are sometimes used as finishing agents on fabric. The use of formaldehyde in clothing has been linked to asthma and rashes, so organic clothing is a better choice for those with sensitive skin. It is also believed that organic fibers help babies suffering from eczema, especially if the garments are worn at night.
