25.01.2022 In France, we have a little game where you pluck off flower petals to figure out if someone loves you. It’s a bit crual when I think back at it now . Anyway what you have to do is pick up a daisy, say he/she likes me and then take off petals one by one while saying a little, much, with passion, like a fool, not at all on repeat. Whatever you say when you remove the last petal is supposed to be the truth . Is that something that’s done in other countries too? I’m curious to know!

24.01.2022 Around 3-6 billion trees are cut down each year around the world! 4 billion of these trees go to making paper, which represents 35% of ALL harvested trees.

24.01.2022 Only one week to go before Etsy Market is on! I remember attending this market 2 or 3 years ago as a customer and dreaming about one day having a stall there...

23.01.2022 If your greeting card could have a super power - what would it be? My number one choice would be for it to turn into chocolate, but let’s be honest that sounds quite unrealistic... Exciting things are coming - watch this space!... #ethicalbusiness #teaser #productlaunch #flowerpower #greenprinting #perthlocalbusiness #perthbusiness #perthlocal #supportlocal #ecoprint #recycledpaper #sustainablebusiness #waronwaste #leavenotrace #cleanupaustralia #wastefree #greetingcards #gifts #decor #art See more

21.01.2022 It can feel a little overwhelming at times to bring this to reality...

18.01.2022 When I first started to work on my stationary items back in August last year, my priority was to do my best to have the lowest impact to the environment as possible .

13.01.2022 I am often asked Why Turquoise? ... Although you would never see me wear it (except for jewelry), turquoise is my favorite color Turquoise is the ocean, the sky...South of France and Rottnest island waters... Turquoise is also known as a calming stone that can induce internal serenity and lift depleted spirits.... While writing this I realise I haven’t worn my turquoise ring for a while... Be right back! ;) What is your favorite color?
13.01.2022 Had been wanting to draw my own version of Frida Kahlo for so long... and I finally did it! . I find this lady’s tumultuous life so inspiring. If you don’t know about her and her art, I highly recommend watching The life and times of Frida Kahlo .

07.01.2022 How to plant your blooming card? . All our cards have planting instructions at the back. . Soak card in water until soft.... Place card on seed raising mix (in pot or ground). Lightly cover with more mix, water and keep moist. Germination should take 7 21 days. . Note that growth success is dependent on the paper being kept moist (and therefore soft) until after the seeds have germinated. Many seeds are embedded in the thickness of the paper and if it dries and hardens, the shoots of the newly germinating seeds will not be able to push through See more
