Blog Giveaway

Over the next few weeks, I will be reviewing our product range. Some designs and fabrics will be discontinued and priced to clear. If you are able to attend our Open Studio this Sunday, you will have first pick of these. Otherwise, you will be advised when items are listed on our Sales page.

Pop-Art Girl has to go! I am giving away 3 such linen tea-towels to my blog readers. One will be given to a randomly-chosen follower as I have yet to draw my monthly giveaway.

In celebration of positive changes in my life and business (more announcements coming soon), I would love to hear about any decisions that you too have made or are now inspired to make in order to simplify your own lives. Share your comment here by next Thursday, 8th April for your chance to win Pop-Art Girl. I really look forward to reading your thoughts!

Please note, that for this giveaway, you should be a blog follower and I need to be able to contact you (if you win) so please leave an email address if you don't have a blog link.

Thank you to Daniele of Lace and Bark for her lovely blog post yesterday about Thea & Sami.

Winners have been announced.

New Store and High Tea

Who says you can't mix business with pleasure? Today I did exactly that. Firstly, I visited and delivered some Thea & Sami products to Lace and Bark, a gorgeous little store in the Brisbane suburb of Nundah.

Would you like to know how I met the lovely owner, Daniele Bywater? She was one of my classmates in Holly's Blogging Your Way course (see previous post). You can check out Daniele's blog here.

The Lace and Bark shop was borne through the couple's desire to make unique handcrafted furniture easily accessible to the public. Daniele's husband, Stuart Bywater, is a talented furniture designer/maker who completed a degree in furniture design at the Canberra School of the Arts over 15 years ago.

He has since been creating individual pieces of furniture using plantation and recycled timber. All are made using traditional woodworking techniques and Stuart can also be commissioned to create something special for you.

Lace and Bark represents both soft furnishings (lace) and wooden furniture (bark) and all homewares are proudly sourced from all over Australia.

You will find exquisite pieces for the home personally selected by Daniele such as these metal roses. The store is open every day except Sundays and Mondays.

Around the corner you can enjoy high tea at Queenie's Tea House which is where some family members and I met to celebrate my mother's birthday this morning.

Poor mum doesn't look too happy but she has been stumbling around on a broken leg after a third operation to correct it. She was our queen for the day and yes, I did print and make my mummy a scarf. She still loves her not-so-little girl making things for her.

Happy Birthday Vivi!
