Over the next coming days we are most excited to introduce our new range of couture wedding gifts, favours and place settings. Available exclusively for weddings through Bespoke this range includes 100% Australian handmade and packaged soaps, candles and hand creams in a range of gorgeous flavours. We style these gifts to perfectly match our wedding stationery with custom designed wrappers and letterpressed tags and labels. Above are our packaged soaps and bamboo pouches which contain soaps and/or other lovely gifts for your guests.

These are simply the most divine gifts, which smell amazing and create an amazing fragrant touch to a reception venue. We are so excited about this new range... our studio has smelt incredible ever since they arrived!

a little adventure

Today I have a few more images from our little trip away for you. We did a day trip from Hobart to Port Arthur stopping along the way in all the little old gorgeous towns. A 90 minute drive took us 4 hours as we stopped at every little stop, old building and antique shop along the way. Somehow I think we must like old things...

First was the gorgeous historic town of Richmond, where we visited the ducks and teased them with the promise of bread which we forgot to bring! We then popped into Sorell Fruit Farm to pick our own big fat lush strawberries which were simply the best tasting strawberries ever!

We admired the coastal views of the stunning Tasmanian beaches - its almost so mean that such beautiful beaches are found where its so cold! Finally we reached our destination and spent the afternoon at Port Arthur learning about the convict era. I did find a convict who was at Port Artur under my maiden name... I do have to wonder if its a long lost relative...

And then finally after such a long day we headed back into Hobart and were greeted with the most gorgeous sunset. Such a lovely day, and a must do if your ever in old Hobart town!

Cleburne Homestead

My lovelies, I hope that you had a most lovely weekend. We headed away for a little trip - part business, part holiday. The business part of our trip was supposed to send us to Wellington New Zealand, but a late night phone call the day before our departure saw some quick speedy changes and we headed down to Hobart in Tasmania instead.

Having never ventured this far south in Australia before I was excited to experience some real Tasmanian history so we stayed at the gorgeous 1820's Cleburne Homestead. We stayed in The Bakehouse which is a magnificent old stone barn building which features the original baker’s fireplace and oven in which the bread for the whole estate was made. With the most stunning exposed stonework, original artworks by Irene Barberis, and big deep two person bath and fabulous breakfast - it was simply the most lovely little trip and we highly recommend Cleburne should you ever be down chilly Hobart way!

saipua love

I must tell you I am in love... there is no denying it... I totally and utterly smitten by the work of the beautiful team at Saipua.

Oh my I get heart flutters when I view their work, there are no words to say how divine their flowers are. It takes my breathe away... it is just, without a doubt, just perfect.

And to my other love should we ever happen to find ourselves living in NYC, I must tell you, there is simply no question, no ifs or buts, no matter what the cost or occasion there is simply no excuse, there is no more perfect gift I could ever imagine...

Oh my... I really must stop dreaming now...

In the studio today

Our production line is back in full swing here in the studio today, cutting, scoring, folding and assembling place settings and tags for two of our lovely wedding couples who are both having their wedding Saturday week. The first are sweet little personalised placesettings for 130 guests and the second are 125 swing tags with space for the guests names to be written which will be tied with ribbon around the sweetest little wedding favours. Such lovely little jobs to start the week! Hope your having a lovely day as well. xox

annie & julian save the date cards

This week we have printed save the date cards for the most gorgeous Annie & her fiance Julian. They are having a gorgeous spring wedding in the vineyards of the Hunter Valley, NSW. Inspired by their vintage vineyard romance theme we illustrated a custom design illustration based upon wrought iron gates and country homestead details. There is simply nothing more stunning then beautiful rolling acres of vineyards and their rustic details! Such a lovely theme to work with... we cant wait to start designing their wedding stationery too!

Have a most lovely weekend my possums.
