24.01.2022 Had to capture this rare moment of order in my lounge room. Not an item of clothing to fold in sight, no LEGO or cushions strewn all over the floor, everything in its right place...sigh. . . . #loungeroom #tidy #miraclemoment #home #homeinspo #mexico #mexicana #decor #interior #vintage #vintagefurniture #vintagestyle #colourpop #plants #indoorplants #mumlife #sons #sunday #sundayfunday #boho #frida #fridakahlo #fridakahloinspired #kids #loco #newcastlensw #happyplace #relax

23.01.2022 Getting there. Aiming for 12 pendants before I list these for purchase.

21.01.2022 From bummer to brainwave. I’ve been going through left over stock from the shop and came across one hand embroidered Mexican dress that had a coffee stain on it, most likely from someone browsing. So much work goes into these dresses, so I was a bit bummed. But then my brain visualised this pendant. There is always a way to make something beautiful out of a shit situation. . . . .... #pendant #necklace #jewellery #handmade #mexico #mexican #embroidery #textiles #repurposed #frida #fridakahlo #fridakahloinspired #handcrafted #beautiful #brainwave #make #makersgonnamake #makersbrain #create #newcastlensw #silverlinings #plasticfree #flowers #reuse #upcycle See more

17.01.2022 My latest wearable art. This is why @jadelomaxart was recommended to me a few times by a few different people. I’m stoked with this homage to Frida’s last painting, which also doubles as a tribute to Two Fridas and the inclusive space I created. Just yesterday, another customer recognised ‘the Frida lady’ and couldn’t help but share how much Two Fridas meant to them and their mates. Sigh. Similarly, @flttattoostudio is an inclusive space for all peeps and they can also arrang...e an alternative location for those who find stairs to be a bit of a bugger. I rate that . . . . #tattoo #tattoos #tatt #wearableart #watermelon #frida #fridakahlo #fridakahloinspired #mexico #mexicana #art #skills #artist #vivalavida #homage #tribute #inclusion #localartist #newcastlensw #tattooartist #pink #green #colour #colourpop #nofilter #ink #ouch #worthit #stoked #localartist See more

17.01.2022 A delivery I’ve been waiting on for quite a few weeks I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to source new products given the profound impact that COVID has had across Mexico. One of my suppliers recently told me that they have lost half a dozen people in their own family. And the financial impact has been devastating for artisans, particularly given some major importers closed their borders for a while. It really gave me some perspective in comparison to my own COVID experience over... the past year. If your keen to support makers of Mexico, stay tuned for what’s in the box... . . . . #mexico #mexicana #frida #fridakahlo #fridakahloinspired #artisan #mexican #newproduct #supportartisans #handmade #fairtrade #newstock #ilovemexico #colourpop #amor #love #makersgonnamake #whatsinthebox #delivery #newcastlensw #australia #surprise #wearableart #covidsucks See more

11.01.2022 Did you know authentic amber glows? This is my friend’s Mexican amber ring she bought from Two Fridas. We went to dinner and were seated under some blue strip lights when I noticed this.

06.01.2022 Okie dokes folks. I’ve been experimenting a little with Instagram lately. You may have noticed that I’ve been posting more vintage heavy content in recent weeks and it’s helped confirm what I’ve suspected I need to do for some time now. I’m excited to announce that I’m launching a sister Insta for Two Fridas Vintage and Hand Made! These beauties will be available for purchase on Etsy. I’m keeping this original Two Fridas Insta account for all things Frida and Mexican artisan. If your leanings are more toward the vintage side of things, head on over to @twofridas_vintage or follow both accounts if you wanna keep across all of the happenings

04.01.2022 When your dog loves vintage as much as you do I’m busily working away on the next phase of Two Fridas.

02.01.2022 Remember that damaged Mexican dress I was repurposing a little while back? It keeps on giving. I’ve had fun picking similar sections of hand embroidery to make not-quite-matching earrings.
