Nila Nila Lip Balm

This fantastic Melbourne product called Nila Nila Pout Lip Balm arrived in the shop this week. It's certified organic and contains goodies like Fair Trade cocoa and shea butter, triple fold organic essence and virgin coconut oil. The Summer 08/09 collection features five different scents including lime, coco, limon, arancia and minty. But the best thing about this product....the gorgeous pin-up girls packaging! $12.95 available in store and available online in the New Year.

The Merry Christmas Table

Here's a picture of our Christmas table this year. I went very traditional, with a lot of red and white and a little bit of orange. Even though it was a small gathering this year (half the family was in Qld), a great time was had by all..........

Anna Spiro

My favourite blog at the moment is Absolutely Beautiful Things by Anna Spiro, a Brisbane based Interior Designer and owner of Black and Spiro. Anna's pictures of her own home, shop and her work, inspires me to take chances when decorating my own home and our shop. So I was pretty pleased when I opened this month's Country Style to see her holiday home on North Stradbroke Island featured. Check out this month's Country Style or visit www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com to see Anna's beautiful work. 

A very Merry Christmas!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! The picture speaks for itself......

We've fallen in love with these designs from ibride. These French designers take their inspiration from nature to create beautiful cards, trays and homewares. You can buy them from www.eggmercantile.com who ship to Australia.

Louise Tidd

And on a very similar note, I wouldn't mind finding some of Brisbane artist Louise Tidd's work under the  Christmas tree......

David Bromley

On my Christmas wish list this year  is a piece of art from Australian artist David Bromley. It's highly unlikely I will find one of his artworks under my Christmas tree, but a girl can always dream!
