christmas sales..


The christmas shopping is fully going now, started a bit late but now I've had a few sales over the last few days. I like it :-) Thanks to all my customers who have bought from me so far, I consider myself very lucky to have such nice and appreciative customers!
Check out my "Dragonheart" tea cup, above. I have just listed it in my
Etsy store . It's a gorgeous, golden cup, but the saucer almost tops it, both look quite Vintage to me. Hope they will find a good home:-)

What strange weather it was in Melbourne today! So much storm and rain, I can't believe we are officially having summer.. It's Luke's birthday tomorrow, I hope we will get some sunshine.

I'm off to bed,
nightie night.

discount for Aussies


The recent downfall of the Australian dollar is quite shocking, I wonder what that is heading to.. But on the other hand, if I keep worrying about it it probably won't help my store either. I hope that people keep on being interested in buying handmade, one off, and/or recycled pieces.
But since the only currency I can list in on Etsy is US$ it makes it a bit hard to offer fair prices to my Australian customers. And so far, most of my customers have been from Australia.
To make it a bit easier I'm offering a discount of at least 25% in my Etsy store for all Australians.
Just choose "other" as payment method and I will send you a paypal invoice with the discounted amount. Or my bank details, if you prefer to pay by bank transfer.
Happy christmas shopping!

Great Ocean Road

Sadly, my Mum and sister had to leave yesterday but boy did we use the time well! They got to see quite a bit of Australia. We did a trip along the Great Ocean Road and were very lucky, we got to see so many animals. Check out the photos:

First we saw an Echidna, just beside a car park where we had lunch. Apparently you hardly ever get to see them in the wild. And there it was, digging in the ground for ants, ignoring us. We got some great photos
.


Then we discovered these wild kangaroos that were just hanging out in someones front garden. Crazy!

And last but not least we saw a few koalas sitting in trees by the road. This one was so close to us, we could have picked it up if we had wanted to. It was a lucky day.
