and we're off!

There's just a few more things to tick off on the to do list before the Rabbit & the Duck fly up to Queensland tomorrow. I'm currently looking at the pile of clothes and other bits and pieces I need to pack, which are sitting next to my suitcase. The pile is much larger than my suitcase. To address this issue, I'm writing blog posts and checking Facebook. Perhaps if I wait long enough the pile will miraculously pack itself?

Also, we'll have limited internet access while we're away, but I'm hoping to check in occasionally to let you know what adventures we've been on and hopefully share some photographs : )

Happy Sunday x

While it's hardly beach weather in Melbourne at the moment, on Monday I am flying up to Queensland for a couple of weeks of holiday fun. Oh, and a little bit of work as well - Rabbit & the Duck will have their first market stall at Finders Keepers in Brisbane next weekend. Yay!

While I'm away I'm going to try and fit in as much beach time as possible. Before I head up to Brisbane I'll be staying on an organic farm in northern New South Wales and am already scheduling in a day trip to Byron Bay. Then I am lucky to be staying with a friend in Brisbane who lives directly opposite the beach - I am looking forward to some early morning walks each day before the market : ) After Brisbane I head north to the Sunshine Coast to visit my family - last week Mum told me she was sitting next to the pool in a t-shirt. At the time of hearing this it was pouring rain in Melbourne and I had the heater on its highest setting.

Ah, Queensland, I'll see you soon!

lucky dip!

We're having an early spring clean in the studio and have some end-of-line and slightly imperfect snap wallets to clear.

Just to make it fun I have decided to run a lucky dip - for only $10 + postage you will receive a random snap wallet + a few extra goodies from the studio as a special treat. Yay! The wallets are normally priced at $24.

Pop over to Made It if you want to get lucky. Um, you know what I mean....

something fun!

Just in case you hadn't seen enough of us this week, we are super, super excited to show you the latest little project we've been working on.

A few months ago I discovered that an old friend of mine had launched a really cool online pop-up shop called sixtwelveeighteen. We got to chatting via Facebook (what would we do without online social networking tools?) and bit by bit the next edition of the shop came together.

We launched today and I just love how the shop has turned out. Pop on over (hm, bad pun?) and let us know what you think!

The shop includes some of our best selling designs, plus a few new products only available at sixtwelveeighteen, such as this cute strawberry wallet. Hooray for cute new things and fun projects with friends!

living in a material world

Where does time go? It seems that I blink and another day is over!

I'm a bit late getting to the post with this, but I wanted to share it anyway. Last weekend Rabbit & the Duck were featured in the Herald Sun Home magazine. I was so excited to see the article and the amazing photographs (taken by a friend of mine) all come together. I think this is my favourite shot (mainly because I am out of focus hehe).

There has been such a great response to the article - thank you so much to everyone who sent messages, left comments on Facebook, or stopped to say hello at Markit last Sunday. Your support has helped to get Rabbit & the Duck to where it is today.
