Father's Day 2015

It's already almost mid August, which means it's practically September which means - hello Father's Day!

I've released a range of new Father's Day cards that would also serve perfectly at any time of the year.  With sayings such as Best Dad, Perfect Pop, Groovy Grandpa and Daddy-O you could easily use them for a Birthday as well.

So, without further a do, here is my Father's Day round up for you.  Enjoy and don't forget to treat the special guys in your lives x

Heads up to my Shire followers - there's a new shop in town and it is opening in a matter of days - it is definitely one to pop on your 'to visit' list.

I might be biased, but I think my sister in-law Rochelle has nailed it.  Having spent many years in retail and working as a visual merchandiser, Rochelle also previously owned and ran a successful Christmas store.

Coral Coast Living is stocking a beautiful range of gifts for kids and babies, homewares, beach towels and bags, jewellery and of course a large range of the Piccolo Studio collection.

The shop is really taking shape and is located in a very handy position with easy parking and a delicious bakery come cafe next door, making it the perfect place to grab those last minute gifts (she can also wrap a mean present) as we all need to do from time to time.

I will let you know once the doors open, word on the street is she will be up and running by the weekend!

Coral Coast living is located at Lilli Pilli Shoping Centre
Cnr Port Hacking Road and Wentworth Avenue, Caringbah South

baby feather's shower

Some images of a beautiful baby shower that was held on the weekend for my friend Kristen of Dwell and Drobe.

The sun was shining, the drinks were flowing and baby feather was certainly spoilt.

The amazing mother to be whipped up a storm of delicious home made dishes that would put a lot of restaurants to shame.  The menu included truss tomatoes with basil and bocconcni, roasted sweet potatoes with pomegranate and chilli, french chicken, oven baked salmon with chilli, rare roast beef and roasted cauliflower with capers and raisins -YUM!

After the main meals we were treated to a selection of macarons, the most stunning water colour feather cookies by Hello Naomi cookies and cakes, a tasty carrot cake topped with a custom sign made by Grain and Co. and a rhubarb yoghurt upside down cake baked by an aunty to be.

Such a lovely way to spend our Sunday afternoon.

Now we play the waiting game until we meed bubs x

piccolo studio's first stockist

I'm a bit excited today after delivering some cards and tags to my first retailer!

It is a gorgeous little store located in Como, in the Sutherland Shire. Darling x Two is filled with all of my favourites, there is so much to choose from if you are looking for something for your own place or for a gift for a friend.  It is hard to walk in and not see something that you have to have!
