13.01.2022 Felt so LUCKY to come across a gang of Black Cockatoos yesterday. Happily chatting away and cracking some seeds for dinner I normally only see them high above - but one flew right above my head, I'm sure I could have touched it. Aren't they quite magnificent!?
13.01.2022 South Australia I feel for you! Hopefully this is a short and effective lock down, over in a jiffy for you Meanwhile, our masks are back in stock! And although I'm hoping for a quick vaccine so we'll be rid of masks sooner rather than later, there still will be situations where we need them - at least for a while. ... Who would have guessed this of 2020!? Gosh, I wonder what next year will bring Ps: these masks are 3 layers of cotton. Do you think I should add a 2 layer option? I prefer my own masks to be as thin as possible, so I'm wondering...
13.01.2022 Have you seen our native flora tea towels? Inspired by the Aussie back yard they really brighten up any kitchen giving it a clean and fresh look. Who would you treat to one? (And it's ok to get one for yourself ) ... These tea towels are screen printed in Melbourne and made with premium linen / cotton mix www.cockatoocollection.com.au
11.01.2022 Which one is your favourite - the Galah or the Cockatoo?

05.01.2022 Thank you everyone who voted for your favourite cushion colour in our stories today I find it so hard to decide - and have a tendency of wanting everything, even when it's not practical Looks like the Rainbow Lorikeet cushion colours are going to be Teal and Light Grey BUT the pink is growing on me! ... So I decided to take some more pictures in different settings (thank you @fabricdrawer for the idea) Here the dusty pink looks pretty good on our tan sofa, me thinks! if you were one of those who voted for pink, head over to our website. I still have some pink cushions left (but there might not be any more....) https://cockatoocollection.com.au//copy-of-rainbow-lorikee

03.01.2022 Managed finally to hang up our Golden Wattle tea towel I'm so pleased! This is a bit of a gloomy spot but the yellow flowers could brighten up any corner! I love how this tea towel works perfectly as artwork too. It has always been our aim that tea towels should be treated like practical art. Either to brighten up your kitchen or your walls - both works ... I'm so very pleased with my new @cornerblockstudio hanger, works super well In fact, I just ordered another one from the @finders_keepers at home event.
