Holy smokes who can believe today is the first day of March! How this year has been flying by…
We have been go go go this week with the NZ Gift Fair starting this Sunday! Tonight we collected all the lovely items from On My Hand who have helped style this big event – including a special hand painted sign! We are collecting the rest of our new products from our amazingly talented screen printers tomorrow (nothing like a bit of a deadline to get the heart rate up), making some final amendments to our product booklets just in time to print and of course remembering to breath!
But enough about us – wedding season is in full bloom so this week we dedicated the weekly roundup to some fun finds for some colourful wedding accessories!
1. This something blue is handmade in France by Julie Duchesne and is available through her Etsy store.
2. Looking for some fun accessories to hand out to your guests? How about some chevron pinwheels!
3. How fantastic is this wedding styled by Heima Store and Heim Interiors - loving all the colours and patterns!
4. These cosmetic bags make the perfect bridesmaid gift.
5. Who doesn’t love a yellow chevron table runner – hello happiness!
6. Wanting that extra something at your reception? Try some chevron straws with heart accents – just perfectly over the top cute.
I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and keep on the lookout for our free March wallpaper designs coming soon! Also, if you live in the Auckland area and are attending the Gift Fair we would love to put a face to the name so come by and say hello!
Weekly Roundup 25th January
Yay happy Friday everyone, how lovely is it that the weekend is upon us again – and not just any weekend a lovely long weekend! Do you have anything special planned or will you be taking it nice and easy? Oh I can’t quite believe that Valentines Day is approaching, how did that happen?! However I am quite smitten with this weeks gorgeous weekly roundup by Toodles Noodles, how incredibly stunning would a luxury picnic be – especially while sipping on pomegranate + vanilla vodka, oh my! Have a wonderful weekend everyone. x

Well it’s that time of the week again – time for our weekly roundup! It’s been quite a week around this neck of the woods.
We moved house and studio last weekend (leaving us without internet until yesterday….sigh), we were super lucky and won tickets for the Auckland Seafood Festival this weekend through Te Awa Winery, and had some lovely birthday celebrations out with friends and delicious cakes from the lovely Made From Scratch.
The shop also had a big week being featured in the Etsy Finds email with our Full of Hearts gift wrap, our Blue bird gift wrap making the front page and our Your My Superhero note cardsmade the new To & From Valentine’s Day Guide - all of which has left me feeling well – a bit lovely dovey!
With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought I might just theme up this week’s Weekly Roundup with a bit of a romantic feel. We also have heaps of gift tags, cards, prints all for that special day in our shop, so shop on by and have a nosey!
1. These sparkly hearts make the perfect accessory for that sharp blazer or pretty bun!
2. A sweet treat made with bittersweet chocolate is a direct line to my heart.
3. Is there anything better than a luxury picnic with the ones you love?
4. Cold never looked so cute with these leggings.
5. I sure do love a relaxing bath after a long stressful day!
6. Time to spruce up those cocktails…mmm… pomegranate…
I hope you all have had a great week and have fun plans for the weekend ahead! Until next time… x
Oh my, could you think of anything more perfect than a luscious Italian themed party filled with olive trees, lavender and of course delicious food and wine. Styled by the talented Claire from One Lovely Day this stunning setting really would make the most incredible event or wedding – you simply must look at her site, it’s beyond gorgeous! I love that there are so many plants, twinkling fairly lights and oh my how wonderful, and delicious, is the rustic bread for place settings – it’s all just far too perfect for words! x
Like almost everyone, I find it pretty impossible to wander past a dessert table – but a cheese table, oh my, I don’t think I would ever leave! How incredibly delicious and perfect is this cheese table that Mel from All the Frills styled for a recent party – I adore that she didn’t use flowers, instead rustic and beautifully sprigs of rosemary. Like every good cheese board, there is the perfect mix of something sweet (how amazing are the little pots of honey and large slices of honeycomb!) savoury, crunchy and of course an incredible selection of cheeses. When you’re next in need of a beautiful dessert or cheese table for your next soirée or wedding, be sure to get in touch with Mel her incredible attention to detail means she’ll create a night for you that you’ll never forget! x
Happy Monday everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful weather and were able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful Spring weather we’ve been having – we even managed to get out into the garden and do some jobs that have been needing to get done, so lovely! It was about this time last year that we moved into our home, and our little housewarming party was nothing compared to this beautiful housewarming party by Roost! Everything is beyond stunning and styled to perfection, how adorable are the little figurines of them and the delicious dessert/cheese table! The whole party is just far too lovely for words, what do you think? x

Hello everyone, how was your weekend? I had such a lovely weekend filled with markets, cheese making and baking while Ben was busy writing essays for his MBA. However, I was completely blown away when I stumbled upon this gorgeous dinner part photographed by Jen Huang – how stunning and simple is it! I love the soft linen that has been paired with the rustic and incredibly striking flowers – oh my, how amazing is the wooden cake stand! I could gush on forever about this, be sure to click here to see more. x
