Colour Me Happy Gocco Party Invites 6 pack with envelopes by benconservato

When you have a party you'll need to invite people, and how better to do it than with these colour-your-own invites by benconservato? You can personalise each one, or just leave them black & white, they're still gorgeous that way!



PLAY TIME BANNERS, 6 mini flag bunting for party by littlemoandfriends

I love going to parties with beautiful decorations, it just makes everything seem more festive and out of the ordinary! These little paper buntings are gorgeous, and will make your home beautiful even after the party's over!


CUPCAKE WRAPPERS by thecupcakewrapperco

Cakes are a very important part of having a party, I think you'll agree! It's so nice to be able to give everyone their own little cake - these cupcake wrappers are reusable, so you can give them to your guests as a little souvenir, or use them over and over for each party!


Argyle Jumper Girl Gift Card featuring Badge by HMCdesigns

Want a sweet card to give to say thank you to the host or hostess of the wonderful party you've just been to? HMCdesigns cards are all made of 100% post consumer recycled cardstock - excellent! And the little badge is removable, for a little keepsake!


So, what are you waiting for? All these party supplies are made in Australia, are gorgeous, and your party will be the talk of the town!

Quirky, Cuddly, Cool & Cute

Clarrie The SockSillie by EmpressWu

Things have been beyond chaotic in my 'life' (not sure if 'life' is really an accurate description in fact), but I wanted to share some Funky Finds (much more interesting than contemplating my non-life).
The picture above is of Clarrie the SockSillie- I love him! He's so cute and a bit odd...which is why he's so cool :) Unfortunately for all of you, Clarrie's mine now, thanks to the lovely Wilma of Empress Wu Designs, but you can buy your own socksillie from her etsy store.
Read the story behind the socksillies on the Empress Wu blog.



Belly Bubbie by allysanneskidstuff

This little cotton doll is so cute- I'm tempted to buy it for myself (shhh don't tell anyone). Check out the Belly Bubbie and Bunny families here. Don't forget to visit Sally's new store StoreAndCarry for jewellery tool, pencil and paintbrush wraps and SallysOriginalArt for some gorgeous original artwork (I guess the name gives it away...).



Tendril- Sterling Silver Earrings by Finchbird

If you haven't joined the Finchbird Fan Club yet, it's time you considered it. These earrings are such an amazing design- I love really simple unique pieces, and these have such an elegant look to them. I think my pair will go very niceley with a caprioska or three...
Trust me- you need some of these (the earrings, not the caprioskas). Jet Stream and Rocket are the other earrings in this 'little black dress for your ears' series.



Dragonfly Kanji Card by Juntei

Juntei is a new seller on etsy, based in Sydney. I will definitely be keeping an eye on her gorgeous cards created using Japanese kimono cloth and paper with Japanese designs. This cute store officially opened yesterday, and is worth a 'welcome to etsy' visit :)


Last day to enter the Julie's Jewels giveaway below! An exciting new giveaway is on its way this weekend....


Oh...one more thing. I have finally made a button for artists who have been featured to add to their blog if they wish (html code for the button can be found in the panel on the right).
