Review @ ‘tickle the imagination’
Visually breath-taking with content to match, the new online magazine ‘tickle the imagination’ has me believing that this is THE new Australian handmade publication to read and be seen in.
Created to appeal to both the creative and the handmade shopper, their wide range of topics complimented with stunning imagery draws you in and makes you comfy. You reach the end of the 178 pages far too quickly, and you are left thirsting for more. It is very clear from the outset that the editor, team and contributors really understand this industry and the people in it; because they are a part of it themselves.
For the Handmade Shopper: Shop reviews, interior decorating tips, product features and shopping guides, market lists and interviews -all with a handmade flavour of course!
For the Creative: Industry leaders share insights, with each including a ‘lesson learnt’ . Plus craft iPhone apps for under $1 (complied by me – hope you find it useful) tutorials, a behind the scenes look of a product photo shoot and more.
So, make some time for you. Pour a hot drink, put your slippers on, listen to a chilled out tune, log on and enjoy.

Review @ Frankie Rose Designs
I was introduced to Frankie Rose by one of her stockists, Little Yon Yon, and it was an introduction that had me swooning over the most beautiful cap sleeved dress in divine Amy Butler fabric. My curly haired girl had to be seen in this stylish number, and she has been tens of times; and this dress still looks like new.
Frankie Rose epitomises what I trust and love about the majority of Handmade Designers within this community - Quality and Beauty. A purchase from Frankie Rose is an investment well worth making. The quality assures me a piece that will last longer than the countless wears my daughter is determined to get out of a single dress. Her dress has changed with the seasons, and been teamed up with the likes of Trelise Cooper for layering; and done so with ease.
Frankie Rose = Timeless Quality and an abundance of Beauty.
It is exciting to watch each Frankie Rose release and I am well overdue for my next purchase. My only regret about being a customer... I am not in the vicinity to see her products in person. A market attended by Frankie Rose would be one I would stand in line to be a customer of.
If you, like me, cannot make it to any of the markets Frankie Rose presents at, then I suggest you head to either one of her wonderful stockists, or get your name on the list of her pre order releases. But do so quickly as they sell out FAST!
