All For The Love.

I love hearing about the occasions that people are wearing my jewellery at - last night I received an order from my Made It store and the message from the buyer stated that she needed her goods posted to her pronto - because she was planning on wearing the Winter Woods Part II Pendant on her Wedding day!
How amazing.
I have asked if she could send me some photographs if this happens - aw, are you feeling the love?

Change of Tree.

Wooden Stud Earrings.

I love it when I remove the protective tape off freshly cut pieces to reveal the colouring of the wood - each Myrtle piece is slightly different, as you can see in the picture above - some pieces have a darker deep grain, others have a lighter grain which catches the light.

Nature, you are wonderful and mysterious!

A Sweet Pea Tree for Stella Winter.

6 weeks old
being cuddled & photographed by her mama bear, Natalie.


Check out the little booties on Stella's feet...
They finally fit her! I bought her four pairs of them.
Yup.
Four.
At $10US a pair (for the new born size) I thought they were absolutely worth it. You can check out
Sweet Pea Tree's Etsy store, click on their sold items and browse through what they have sold - send them a convo and tell them I sent you, they are more than willing to do custom orders!
These would make a great baby shower gift - they are bright, warm and handmade with loads of love!

Keeping Up Appearances.


It certainly helps having friends in all the right places.
For example, I have Zakk Goodsell - who takes amazing photographs...
I also have Marcus Bendall - who is a clever fella on the computer doing creative design bits and pieces.
I utilised both of their talents to create a promotional postcard for Niche: All Wrapped Up.
The finished product is so impressive, I kind of don't want to give them away!
A lot of my friends who I have shown the postcards to - or who have been lucky enough to score one - have said how professional the end product looks and the tying together of the label; and to be honest, I am proud. I am not ashamed to be proud of all my hard work with That Vintage and proud of the friends I have who host an abundance of talent within themselves!

New Camera.

Vintage Wrap Bangles - for Niche: All Wrapped Up.

After weeks of waiting for my Olympus camera to be repaired, I found out that it was going to cost me the exact same amount that I paid for the camera, brand new. So bye-bye old camera.
Hello new camera!
I bought a Canon PowerShot A490 and wow... it has impressed me already!

Time To Give.

Oh, hello there giveaway time.
It has been oh so long...
Yes, I do believe that it is time for another giveaway!


This time up for grabs is one of the Woodgrain Wrap Bangles - which are not available in stores nor online!
The only place you can purchase these darlings is in person at the Niche: All Wrapped Up market next weekend in Launceston - see my previous post for details.
But because I know alot of my followers are dotted all over this pretty planet... I figured it would be the perfect item to give away!
