Auckland Art and Craft Fair THIS WEEKEND

This weekend I have the privilege of selling Glorious Bandits at the huge, and awesome Auckland Art and Craft Fair. I'm so excited to be selling alongside a collection of hugely talented crafts people, many who have thousands of fans and followers.

So if you're in Auckland (or close by), love handmade goods, need to buy someone a gift or build up your stash of presents, want to show your support for Glorious Bandits, or a combination of these, I'd love to see you at the Aotea Centre on Saturday!

Spread the word with your craft loving friends.

Iceland Aurora

For many years I've wanted to see the Northern Lights in action. This timelapse from Iceland is pretty amazing. Pretty mind blowing that humans have invented camera's and the internet so that I can see this from my haus in New Zealand... but I still hope to see them in person too!

Pinterest Picks: Stunning Scenery I

I've stumbled across some amazingly scenic photos on Pinterest, and they inspire me, so I thought I'd share them with you. I have enjoyed the limited travel I've done (mostly within New Zealand) and I've got a big list of places I want to visit in coming years. It's mind blowing that some places photograph so well, while others you really do have to be there to experience the views.

Weekend Away in Rotorua

Just thought I would share a couple of quick snaps from my weekend in Rotorua a couple of weeks ago (both from my Instagram account).

Fields Notes 'Shelterwood' Journals.

If you know me well, you will probably know that I am a big fan of anything wooden. The favours from my wedding were wooden coasters stamped with our wedding date and initials. My awesome Dad cut down the tree from a friends property, cut it into slices, sanded the edges, then stamped and lacquered a couple hundred of these!

I just came across 'Fields Notes' set of 'shelterwood' limited edition journals with real wood covers. They are amazing! They made a video of the process and I find it so interesting.
