Father's Day 2015

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.

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

Dwell and Drobe

Yesterday on a cold and windy day, four girlfriends and myself headed to Swansea for the grand opening of Dwell and Drobe - The newest home and lifestyle store in the Newcastle area.

We were never going to miss the store opening day, as the brains behind this new venture are our friends Kristen and Tristan Combridge.

These guys are having a big year, with their new home under construction, a baby on the way, and now their dream of owing in a lifestyle boutique becoming a reality - power couple!

Kristen has a background in marketing, fashion styling and visual merchandising.  She also runs a business servicing several Westfield shopping centres across NSW, in both personal styling and visual merchandising. Kristen also teaches regularly at The Fashion Institute in Sydney's Surry Hills; while Tristan works in mining, shapes surf boards in his spare time and has recently added design and furniture making to his repertoire of talents.

Dwell and Drobe is nothing short of amazing, with a fantastic range of products made by Australian designers and creatives.  Kristen has ensured the shelves are stocked with not only products that are 'on trend' but also classic, and given her background, the store is styled to perfection.

Dwell and Drobe are the largest Piccolo Studio stockist other than myself, and I couldn't be happier to have my work in such an amazing store.
