Do you have a present for Mum?

New Kids on the Block

We're very excited to be partnering with two amazing local businesses: Kenrose Bakery in Carina, and Marigold Haus in Ashgrove!

Marigold Haus is dedicated to supporting mindfully made products from small businesses. Their products range from artwork, honey, plants, and dolls. The owner, Madi, is super friendly and makes a mean coffee!

Kenrose Bakery is nestled amongst the Carina suburban streets near D'arcy and Creek Road. Their space is bright and open and has a small selection of coffee merchandise to offer alongside our products. Their delicious focaccia sandwiches are also perfect for any time of day!

Next time you're in the area, why not visit one of these local icons and enjoy all they have to offer. Follow the links to see more.

Bungalow

From the classic, grand designs of Colonials, the Queenslander style naturally evolved to what is known as a Bungalow. Where Colonials featured a stepped roof design, the Bungalow's continuous roof made construction easier and more economical.

Bungalow styles are generally distinguished by whether they have a full, L-shaped or U-shaped verandah, but two Bungalows are rarely the same. More asymmetry can be found in the Bungalow style and a lot of houses feature different customizations, some of which tend to be considered their own styles.

A common customization is adding a gable and bay window, and it's not hard to see the appeal. What a beautiful feeling it would be to look across the Brisbane landscape as you enjoy a cuppa.
This is one of Debra's favourite Bungalow styles and can be seen on the left of her artwork Confetti-Avenues.

A number of Bungalows have stood the test of time and can be found nestled on suburban streets across Queensland. How many can you find in your neighbourhood?

A Special Gift for Mum

Where would we be without mothers? Whether it be biological, adopted, or chosen mothers, they are all special people who provide love and support for those around them. And with Mother's Day just around the corner, why not treat Mum to a truly special gift this year?

This year we are offering 6 different Mother's Day gift bundles. Each bundle includes three specially selected tea blends from local makers, Tour de Tea, each flavour with their own story; and a hand-crafted tea beaker made by local artist, Ronelle Clarke, featuring the Brisbane River wrapping around the lip, topped with Confetti.

Follow the links to view the different Bundle options, as well as Tour de Tea and Ronelle Clarke's other fabulous creations!

Umbrellas have Arrived!

As you may have seen on our socials, we're super excited about the arrival of our new umbrellas!

The 3rd Debra Hood Art Umbrella design comes from her artwork, Saffron Sunset over Brisbane.

Brisbane sunsets of spicy saffron hold us in awe and as daylight closes, a shimmering blanket of blazing red and orange spread across Brisbane hills. This fiery glow reflects over the tin roofs kissing our Queenslanders goodnight. Saffron Sunset Over Brisbane focuses on the inner city hills of Rosalie, Paddington, Bardon and Red Hill.

Available in two variations - fold up, or straight with curved handle - the bright and colourful artwork will help keep your spirits up on the gloomiest of days!
