Today literally flew away! Cliche I know... but this image feels very apt! We had a little photo shoot down at the local wharf today surrounded by Pelicans. New Elkhorn clothing and accessories from today's shoot will be live on our Etsy Store tomorrow! Promise to share them with you then. Have a lovely night x

Home Beautiful Magazine Jan 2012

It was pretty cool to pick up the latest 'Home Beautiful' magazine to see our mustard, Feather Cushion beautifully featured in this natural collection! Great to know it's on stylist Sami Simper's wishlist! After I got over the initial excitement I managed to kick back and enjoy the rest of the mag.
Hope your having a relaxing Saturday! x

F.Y.I Our Feather cushions can be seen and bought from the wonderful ladies at Follow store, Surry Hills & Moochinside, Hardys Bay! If you'd like to see our full range we will be attending the next Olive Tree Markets, Newcastle, Sat 4th Feb!

Low-tide journey to Hardys Bay

Happy New Year to you all, I hope it's off to a great start!
Nearly two weeks into the new year... can you believe it!? I think I'm officially back from my holiday hiatus and ready to begin Elkhorn 2012! Definitely all relaxed-out if that's possible. 
I've missed the Elkhorn blog, Elkhorn and the Central Coast! It's so great to be back, especially with these few days of proper Summer.
I thought I'd begin the year in sharing this mornings instagram journey to one of my favourite local walks that always sets me up for a great start to the day. Timing's important for this walk unless you would prefer to swim... You can only access the track at low-tide which makes it extra adventurous...

muddy flats of Rileys Bay

my dream home

These mud flats are home to millions of little crabs that hide away within seconds

Glimpses through the bay

Lots of tranquil untouched greenery

now ready to start the day!

Hardys Bay!

These are just half the photos I took! It was hard to stop where I did... so many beautiful spots. If I didn't lose you half way and you'd like to see more then head over to our new Elkhorn Instagram page. Where you can choose to follow Elkhorn Instagram if your heart desires! Can wait to get into the New Year and see you all at the Markets soon!! xx

Breeze Magazine - Central Coasting

For something that is so wonderful and exciting it's taken me much too long to share this with you! Sorry for holding back ;) Without much-a-do here's the very new go-to-guide for all things wonderful on the Central Coast, NSW Issue One Breeze Magazine

Michelle one of the founders of Breeze Magazine contacted us a couple of months ago with the news of their magazine(in the making) and asked Elkhorn to be a feature in their December launch. YES PLEASE! Father Elkhorn can contest to how many times I have ranted about the need for a appealing platform to showcase the beauty of the Central Coast. So you can imagine how thrilled I was when I received Michelle's email. Michelle & Tim came by to photograph our studio and a few awkward shots of me while Michelle and I discovered our shared love of Halverson boats, collecting & swapped a few central coast finds! They are a truly down to earth couple dedicated to getting the word out their via beautiful photos and intriguing stories on the people and places that make the Central Coast so unique. 

Okay, so yes! I 'm slightly biased with Elkhorn's feature and my obsession with the coast but I really think this magazine is the start of something special.

Perhaps your already onto it! If you get a chance over the weekend take some time to slowly 'breeze' through! You know I recommend it, it's free and online after all xx

If only we had a magazine shoot every week... great incentive to keep the studio clean! 

The small things

Logging into facebook this morning I discovered the sweetest note on our Elkhorn wall, along with  these gorgeous photos which had me grinning from ear-to-ear. A Elkhorn friend ordered these Feather totes last week as gifts for her son's teachers. Her son looks so chuffed and pleased with them, it was a real treat to see. Thanks Mun for taking the time to take these photos, I truley hope the end of the year goes well for him! I may have to commission you as photographer for future Elkhorn designs! xx

Monday aspirations

Visiting the super creative Dawn Tan's blog handmadelove this morning I came across this video 'A Shelby Film for Zara' and thought I'd re-share it with you. This beautifully balanced life is something I could definitely aspire to, loft in the city, studio cabin in the forest.  Oh to dream x
