Opposites

I was looking through my photos this week for a project and came across this day at the beach I spent with Kate and Piper when they came up for a visit at the end of last year. As much as I love winter, I'd been feeling a little jealous of all you northern hemisphere folk and your summery images. We've been super lucky with the weather during my school break and so I've been trying to soak up as much vitamin d as possible. These photos and the last two weeks have reminded me of what a lovely city this is in the sunshine. It's back to school on Monday and I've made a resolution to get out and enjoy it much more in this second half of the year.

Any work/life balance tips?

After flicking through photos of Piper getting a taste of the ocean, I couldn't resist making this funny little gif! 

Winter break

A little (almost) wordless post after a long stretch of quiet. We're in a new house, I'm on winter break from school and enjoying catching my breath a bit. Trying to figure out the work life balance thing has proved trickier than I thought.

Watchful Eyes

A new bookmark series featuring some of our favourite writers and thinkers is now available in the shop. I've really enjoyed working on these, basically scouring through cool images of people I like! There are 27 bookmarks in total but I'm already scheming up more inspiring folks I'd like to include. There's a pretty even split between men and women, and I'm so happy to be promoting so many amazing lady writers.We're also open to custom orders, if you don't see your favourite writer on the list, although I'm in no hurry to do a Dan Brown edition...ahem.

Just so you know, our bookmarks make pretty great stocking stuffers and if you're looking to pick one or two up for Christmas our 'order by' dates are as follows:


New Zealand - Friday 16th December
Australia - Wednesday 7th December
USA, Canada, UK & Europe - Wednesday 30th November
Elsewhere - Friday 25th November


Have you liked our Facebook page yet? We'll be running a little giveaway over there later today to celebrate   the new bookmarks so be sure to head on over so you can enter!


In other news, Richard starts his first New Zealand job today! It's at our local health food store which is next to an amazing little bakery, and I'm pretty excited for some sweet (organic) treats. Sadly he'll be working a weekend day, but it's almost summer holidays for me so I'll be free as bird. Bring on ciders, beach hair and orange fruju's!
