Got some new boxes for your gifting - to self or otherwise ❤️ double mugs, 4 cups, mug and bowl combos …even the small fruit bowl 🤓 I went on a packaging bender and it’s all cardboard paper based now and fully recyclable as a whole so you don’t have to seperate it out - yay!

Still thinking about
And this
Lighting samples online tonight at up to 50% off. Choose pick up to collect at the arts trail or shipping just a flat $20 in oz. Online at 7.30pm tonight. Getting ready for the surf coast arts trail this weekend and I thought why not put some of the lighting samples online tonight? Some didn’t match a set, some are extra glazed samples or discontinued clay type, I even have a few of the plug in lights that are perfect if you are renting and don’t want to hard wire - they can be hung from a ceiling light hook.

Same room I posted in last image but now IRL! Huge thanks for having me over today and shooting the wall lights in your gorgeous home Imogen and Al Roberts I can’t wait to share more of these images. Really beginning to think a great paint colour scheme and lights are all you need for a room refresh 🍑
