A fabric pack of hand-printed natural linens.

A trio of discontinued linen tea-towels.

One of Anna Bartlett's sweet "Bless You" hankies as mentioned here.

For your chance to win, talk to me Baby! Simply leave a comment and tell me why you read my blog, or what you would like to see more of, less of. Or which of our products you like? Introduce yourself if you have never commented before. Don't be shy! I would love to know who you are.

The giveaway will remain open through to the weekend of October 17th. The winner will be selected at random upon my return from my special Melbourne trip on the 18th (flights have been confirmed). Do make sure that I can contact you in some way.

Don't forget about our Open Studio Day on October 30th. I have a ton of fabric & scrap packs to get rid of sell plus one lucky guest will receive a $50 Thea & Sami gift voucher.

What a wonderful giveaway! Love those tea towels, I'm already picturing them in my kitchen, and the hankie, well I think it should be framed and the soap...I love lavender!

In any case I love following your blog. I always love seeing a glimpse into the studio and what you are creating, pictures of where you live, new shops to explore and featured artists. Basically, your blog is perfect just as it is!

Just Martha said...

Hi Thea I love your blog because you do such beautiful work, are sooooo very busy and add a sprinkle of your non-work life too. Makes for very interesting reading. I love your simple patterns - so effective

Jacinta said...

I often drop by to see what you are up to... the latest designs.
Love your work
Wish I could make it to your open studio, but Brisbane is just a little too far for a day trip!

sue said...

Oh well I think you know why I come Thea - all that eye candy - plus I appreciate your frankness with regard to owning and operating a small business. You keep it real. Also it has been a pleasure to see your business go from strength to strength - quite an inspiration to all those 'creatives' out there who would love to chuck in their 'day job'!

NATURAL MODERN INTERIORS said...

Hi Thea, as you know I am new to blogging and wished that I got into this a long time ago. I love your individual patterns and that you are making healthy, toxic-free and organic products. My favorite items would be the natural linen cushions, especially the peacock party design, which would sit very well in my home. I am also looking forward to when you release the beautiful back packs and bags. Have a fantastic day with your open studio. Have fun, Lisa

So many reasons why I follow your blog, I love screen printing and have never been able to get back to it after learning the basics, I support Aussie Craft, Brissy Craft and I used to live at Gumdale. Who knows where that is? and I love your initiative and naturally brilliant designs

Hi Thea

I like to read about people on your blog, hear about your business experiences and see interesting fabric combinations.

Please count me in for your giveaway (altho if I win, you can redraw for the hanky!)

Galuh said...

Hi Thea,
I'm Galuh from Indonesia. Actually this is the first time I visit your blog and I knew it from other blog (print-specs blog). Well, at first i just want to know how to sew then i want to know how to make printed fabric. I see you have beautiful printed fabrics. Also you offer giveaway too (which make myself hoping to be the winner). Well, I hope I can see more beautiful fabrics and new ideas on your blog.

Ok, thanks

Helen said...

from Auckland. An inspiring blog, so many lovely fabrics and beautiful items. Fantastic links and so much more....

I like that the designs are so simple and so elegant - they are timeless that makes them so gorgeous. I come to have a bit of a dribble over new things and look over the old stuff. And then sit and plan which ones to buy when I get better at chair recovering. Sometimes its nice to just take a look at something other than 20 spreadsheets that all need to be fixed up - I go look at your blog as a treat then get grudgingly get back to work knowing there is something pretty to look at again later.

Thanks!

Missymaomao said...

I love your blog because I love your fabric and I want to know all about the creative designer behind them. I also like to know what you are looking at in great big world of design because it's likely that I would be interested in the same things.

Your blog puts personality with the product and you have to be proud of that.

I'm a newcomer to your blog and the world of blogland but found your work arty, fresh and very creative. I especially love reading about talented women making a living from something they love doing - especially you. Very inspirational for someone like me who is wondering where her art journey is heading. Thanks.

I love your fabrics (and teatowels!). I just need to find a reason to purchase them... new house on the way so hopefully I will find some inspiration there.

It is great to read a different angle on life. Inspiration for creativity!

I love your blog because it is inspirational, beautiful and good for the planet. Your workshops are fantastic too - the best way to spend a Saturday.

Felicity said...

Thea, I've been following you ever since I began in June and I love to read about what you're up to, both in your own work but also in the discovery of other clever artisans.

I went to 'Finders Keepers' at Peregian on the weekend and it was a big thrill to see your cushions and bags.

x Felicity

Tania said...

GAH! That giveaway is too much gorgeous to resist an entry! I pop by because I reckon you're damned funky, have an excellent eye, fabulous taste. Even more appreciated, you are generous with your knowledge. Also I'm STILL waiting for Melbourne screenprinting courses (she types (again), hintfully)...

Irene ~ RE~VINTAGED said...

You have such cool fabric! Why have I not seen it before. Must be blogging around with my eyes closed.......

ECOINSPIRED said...

Hello Thea!
I read your blog because I work alone and it is comforting to know there are other creatives out there experiencing similar challenges. I love to read about your new stockists....hooray! and your thoughts on which colour to introduce for a new design. I love that you print a lot onto sustainable fibres like hemp and organic cotton.
