Awwww...just had to share this from my friend that lives on a kibbutz. Right now Jews are celebrating Shavuot, our Harvest Festival 🌾🌾🌾🌻🌾🌾 By the way, let me know if you'd like me to share more about that. Anyways, normally each year the have the babies who were born presented on stage to be welcomed by the community 💕 So this year...being lockdown & Covid blah blah...they decided to do an iso parade instead! Where each baby gets wheeled around and clapped as they walk passed each home. Sooooo adorable! 💛💛💛💛🌻💛

My son just asked me 5 things I'm grateful for today 🙃 It was harder than I thought. So I'll just ask you for ONE thing you're grateful for TODAY 🤗

Hey! Can we all pretend that this weekend you're coming to visit me at a market stall and you buy lots and lots of cute stuff? I honestly have no idea how to spread the word any more than I do and there is no money for ads. I'm very open to suggestions 🙏🏽 But yeah...come visit my stall please! Everything is handmade, ethical and creates a difference for marginalised women and all that good stuff that makes us feel better about buying something....go on. Tell your friends 😇

One of my "things" is transformation. I can't thin

One of my "things" is transformation. I can't think back to when that started for me because it's something that's so deeply woven into my being. I remember in 9th grade a friend used the word metamorphosis which I had never heard before (English isn't my mother tongue) and it was almost as if the word had an electric charge to it. Metamorphosis!!! Finally a concept had a name! It amazes me how often the word will come to me in so many different disguises...but with a little bit of time & reflection....there it is again! Metamorphosis! The theme is everywhere. I not only see it around me, in my jobs, in my friends, in my relationships but of course also within myself. (For the record, right now I'm the mush inside a cocoon) So all that to say...my new phone has scrambled ALL my photos up which is somewhat frustrating (okay...very frustrating!!). But in doing the scramble my phone managed to bring some photos together for me which so perfectly highlights (you guessed it)....METAMORPHOSIS!!! Because here we have a silk cocoon that I took a photo of 10 years ago in a tiiiiiiiny Cambodian village, as well as that cocoon then being unravelled to produce the most magical thread by a woman who has NO IDEA how talented and incredible she is. "She's just doing her job." Then fast forward 9 years to a super cool apartment in Fitzroy, Melbourne. Where my friend, walking buddy, fellow solo parent Megan is modelling one of the silk scarves (made with the magic thread). At the time Megan was desperate to move out of suburbia and live by the beach. It honestly seemed impossible. How does a single mum with 2 boys do that? But man oh man, Megan held on to her dream. And I genuinely don't know how she pulled it off...but I now, a year later, start my day with Megan's photos of her new life. It's been almost a month of seeing her and her boys thriving in the life that Megan slowly wove together for them.... Metamorphosis!!!!!

It's been ages since I popped over to a friend in the Happily Made village...just so wonderful seeing our monkeys thriving in their Forever Homes ❤🧡💛💚💙🤎

When I designed this sloth tag back in February....I remember feeling this soooo much...the world was just spinning SO fast! 😲 And yeah...I'm not sure if these tags are even valid any more 😬 What do you think???

Did you know that our magnetic sloths are now on our website to PRE-ORDER?💛🦥💛 And did you know that when you pre-order your adorable & handmade gift you are in fact creating jobs for marginalised women in Cambodia?? Yep! When you pre-order it totally helps us keep doing what we do 🙏🏽 So please tell your likeminded peeps as well...they'll be grateful when you do 😇 (and of course, so will we!!)

Do you do this?? It genuinely helps me put things

Funny story…a few weeks after my last shipment..

Funny story...a few weeks after my last shipment...the textile producer asked me if I liked the gift he sent me. I said yes, I love the silk cushion cover. He said, what about the kimono? I was like...what kimono? He insisted he had sent me a kimono. I had a vague recollection that one of the blankets felt a bit heavier than the rest but just figured they are all handmade so all a bit different. Anyways...a few days ago I got a message from a lovely woman in Sydney who was wondering about the blanket I had sent her that looked more like a "poncho" 🤣 Thankfully today it arrived and I loooooooove it and kinda wish I had ordered more...and I can tell my son would like to keep it after modelling for me. It's seriously so easy to wear and still use your arms...unlike a blanket that is more for "after hours" 🙃

Suuuuch a versatile bag!! And it looks good too 😎 Vegan friendly, unisex and best of all UPCYCLED fabric & ethically made 🖐🏾 You can FINALLY find it on our website 😃

Look what's FINALLY on our website!! Perfect timing considering we might actually need bags again after a few months of not leaving the house 🙃 Sooo many pockets which hopefully I'll be able to take a good photo of tomorrow. But the important part....these bags are made from UPCYCLED fabric. Which means it was destined for landfill but instead transformed into something super useful by our brilliant sewing ladies. Oh...and those of you who already have one...I'd love some reviews 🙏🏻

Anyone else feeling topsy turvy at the moment? I genuinely feel like I've lost my bearings. In fact, this afternoon when walking with my daughter she told me that caterpillars don't become butterflies...they become mush...and the mush THEN becomes a butterfly...and strangely that helped me feel better. I'm definitely in the mush stage of life right now 🐛🌚🦋

Hmmm...I've got a few different options for the next raffle. I thought I had decided but then I keep returning to our Flower Lights 🥰 If all had gone to plan for 2020 then these were going to be my priority to come to life. They are just so stunningly beautiful and made from corn husks 💛🌽💛🌽💛🌽💛 As our days get shorter over here in Australia I feel that it might be time to make these lights the raffle prize. What do you think? And yes, sadly not available to purchase...let's hope 2021 is kinder 😇

I've had a few people say to me today how lovely it is that my daughter is helping me out... here's some proof that she's been helping me out for a looooong time😇 As have all my kids. All four of them have been involved in countless capacities from day 1 back in our Cambodian village. From design, to ideas, to modelling (mostly reluctantly), to markets and of course having to share their space with endless animals before they go off to their Forever Homes 🙊 I honestly wouldn't be able to pull this off without my kids help ❤❤❤❤
