The talented masters minds behind The Finders Keepers, Brooke & Sarah have opened their new store Follow on the weekend. Did you manage to pop in? If like me you haven't had a chance, then you'll have to get your fix of images via their blog.  Looks like our Feather Cushions are fitting in very nicely!

gatherings & wearable plants

Hello & Happy Friday!
Just popping by to share a few favourite finds from the week. I can't quite recall how I found myself at either Kinfolk or Viola Living Jewels, but I am glad I did.
Have you heard of Kinfolk? It's a new 'down to earth' online magazine created by 'a community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings'. It celebrates the love of wholesome and natural gathering of friends, entertaining & artists. All my favourite things! It has some beautifully honest writing with stories about the importance of spending time alone and with good friends & family.
I have be craving some good friend time, so it couldn't be better timing with my own small gathering of two this weekend with my great friend Nina!

I am in love with this wonderful intrinsic collection of living jewelery Viola Living Jewels. I think the old cliches of 'plants and crystal wearing hippies' is slowing changing with new unique expressions and interpretations appearing. Creator Jessica Viola has an amazing 'background in organic, permaculture-based botanical design and a strong passion for plants, ecology, culture'. She takes you back to earth with both her jewelry and Viola Gardens sites. Do you like them?

 

 Enjoy your weekend! Hope you get a chance to enjoy your own little gathering whether it's with one, two or many x

Spring Cleaning Sale

We have just spruced up the Elkhorn studio so it's now tidy and shining as it will ever be! I felt like I needed to get the cleaning out of my system to welcome in the new! Nothing like a early spring clean and a bit of procrasting to help things get on their way. Hence we are having a mini sale
Here's a few of the orphan cushions & table runners that are on sale. They would love to be put to good use and find a new home...
 

Custom patches

I have been a little obsessed with patches lately. It's quite a satisfying way to sew, as the work slowly reveals itself and the end result is always an rewarding surprise.  These Elkhorn cushions are a recent custom project, we created for a Marea who discovered us at The Finders Keepers Markets.

Marea originally saw the yellow patch cushions(below) and was taken by the earthy colour scheme and deep red feature dahlia's. After discussing her space we decided to change the backing fabric to a unbleached hemp/organic cotton while still keeping with the same screen printed colours.

Although we used the same colour palette design, I Iove that a subtle change of fabric can bring quite a different feel to the cushions. Thanks Marea for trusting us to create something individual for you.

A perfect Saturday Market @ the Olive Tree

We couldn't of wished for a more perfect day at The Olive Tree Markets, Newcastle. After a very early start, a reinvention of our clothing rack (after forgetting an essential component..opps) and a few coffees we were ready to begin. It felt like a Spring day with lots of people about and a relaxed vibe in the air.  Thanks to everyone who came along and said hi with many walking away with a Elkhorn purchase which is always very nice!  Fingers crossed we come back for the September market, when it truly will be Spring! xx

 

Souvenirs of Broke

I recently had a couple of slow & rejuvenating days at the Hunter on a friend's friends' Olive Farm, River Flats Estate Broke. The wonderful Shelby welcomed us into her humble home with it's abundance of farm life and endless places to explore, leaving me brimming with inspiration & tipsy for more...

A chorus of welcomes from the Piggies
