Coming soon... "In The Woods" series of silk screen prints on sustainable Tasmanian Oak timber veneer on ply.
Inspired by the beautiful timber and some of my favourite fairy-tale: a magical moment, a glimpse through the forest's silhouette of Alice's white rabbit dashing past or a red velvet cape floating by.
Each piece is screened by hand and unique. Size 8" x 6" - hang in your own special frame or on its own.

Kyoto Baby ShoesWe have been wondering what to make with this gorgeous organic Japanese fabric, by Etsuko Furuya.
At the end of the day it had to be shoes! Pink/Purple for the girls, Green/Blue for the boy's; and Red/Brown for our undecided customers.
$25 a pair.
Oopsidaisi, and the designer Sam, really do not need any introduction; but for those who are yet to be privileged enough to take ownership of a piece of Oopsidaisi goodness, let me give you an idea of the quality.
Visually the presentation of these designs pre- purchase is gorgeous. The hype in anticipation of your parcels arrival is already at an all time high… then it arrives…. you open it…. and every expectation you had dissipates as what you see before you is of a higher quality than you ever could have imagined. From the quality of the fabric, to the originality of the design and the appreciation of detail displayed in the labelling, you know that what you are holding is made with a real passion for quality and tailored experience. Nothing compares to that of an Oopsidaisi piece of clothing. Sam’s designs are original, timeless and quite simply stunning.
This designer has been in business longer than I have been a customer of handmade and her experience has seen her out live many a trend and fad. Oopsidaisi will continue to stand strong through many more seasons and many more range releases. And the reason? Because of the woman that stays true to her convictions and the reason that she does what she does. She does not create for kudos nor for accolades. In her words…
“I'm just making things from the heart... things that make me happy... and hopefully make some of you happy too! ♥”
I assure you, as an Oopsidaisi customer I am VERY happy!!
Review written by: Angela of Yes, Dear
We are excited to bring you our brand new design, exclusive to Mrs Fickle and the Loopy Pear.
Available in solid sterling silver, it will also soon be available in 9ct gold.
You can have it stamped with children's names or a special phrase in any one of our 8 different letter sets, and it comes with your choice of sterling silver belcher chain or black silk ribbon.
Our new pleated nappy cover was created for our contribution to an amazing auction Collaborate for a Cause run by the wonderful Jen at Ainslee Fox.
We decided to take the ruffles, turn them into pleats and run them all the way around. We have started off with yellow and this week we will be trying them in all the colours of the rainbow.
Set in a leafy suburban street on Brisbane’s Southside, it is filled with beautiful gifts that you can’t find anywhere else.
We source products from all around the world that are either handmade or unusual, and stock some of Brisbane’s best handmade businesses, as well as interstate and international companies.
In addition, we also organise a Twilight Market at the local show grounds where we have over three levels of shopping, international foods, live music and entertainment and much much more.
Our next market is 2nd July.
It aims to be a one stop shop (and website) for kids clothing, furnishings, accessories, toys, and other goodies along with maternity and nursing products.
Applications are now being accepted to have your products sold on consignment.
The store also offers a design hub with space available to rent for those wanting to run their business from a funky, warehouse style, shared space.
Head to our designers blog to find out more.
