Lady Beetle Breakfast

What a lovely way to start the day. I LOVE going to the Artisan champagne breakfasts and always for a good cause. 

If you are in Brisbane, please keep free the morning of Tuesday, 5th May and bring your mum or friends along to support the Royal Brisbane Childrens' Hospital which will benefit from proceeds raised. The Mart store is the best place in Brisbane for finding those unique, hand-made gifts for special mothers.

The event runs from 7:30-9:30 am at Artisan, located at 381 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley. Tickets are $20 and profits from entry fees and 10% of proceeds from (m)art & Electric Boy sales at the event will be donated to the Royal Children's Hospital Foundation. RSVP essential by Thursday 30 April 2009

To RSVP and pay in advance, please contact Shannon McCaskill on 07 3215 0800 or email: info[at]artisan[dot]org[dot]

Thea & Sami are proud to be showing our limited-collection of hand-printed organic fashions on the runway. 



Other featured designers include:
So in Design - Reversible Skirts
Electric Boy - kids' t-shirts
Various jewellery designers from the Mart store and
Jess Dabro who made this adorable "Sea Creature".

 

Lucky door prizes have been donated by the designers plus other sponsors.

Does anybody want to model on the morning? It's all very friendly and casual and I am looking for a model who is a size 8, 10 or 14.  I will pay for your ticket and you will get a scrumptious champagne breakfast while mingling with other artisans and lovely mothers.  Please email Thea.

Small Details Matter

I love my roll of hemp twine.  I use it to cut and thread through hang tags to safety-pin onto our products. It's not easy being green as this is very time-consuming and using a tagging gun which I did in a previous not-so-environmentally-responsible life was much faster.

The little details do make a difference though and I think they look pretty good and much nicer than those ugly plastic tag holders. Our hang-tags are also printed on recycled paper, saving those extra trees from the mill.

The order that goes with these tags is our Autumn/Winter fashion collection going to Bliss Ecowear today.

We will also be showing some new hand-printed organic fashions at Artisan at a Mother's Day charity breakfast on Tuesday, May 5th. More details to follow but please keep the morning free if you are in Brisbane. The Artisan breakfasts are always lovely events and raise funds for a worthy cause, in this case the Royal Brisbane Childrens' Hospital.
