New Louenhide 2012

Gorgeous new winter Louenhide has arrived into store…the `Switch’ and `Baby Switch have been our best seller and have just arrived in some beautiful new colours like mocha and mulberrry. Also, for those of you who loved the `Poppit’ from a few years back they have reshaped slightly and added new colours and an ostrich like fabric, it’s called the `Gio’. Come by and have a look, I know you love them…joc x

All Sewn Up…

As some of you would know by now I’m in a Stitch n Bitch group with some girlfriends. We are always on the look out for some new crafty ideas and so I ordered some copies of this beautiful new book called All Sewn Up by Chloe Owens. It includes 35 really cute craft ideas, I particularly love the pom pom slippers and rain cloud brooch. The instructions are easy and the photographs great. There are some here in the store if you are looking for a project to get you over some of these rainy days!  $29.95.

Competition winners….!

I almost forgot to congratulate the three girls who won the Hummingbird Bakery 2012 diaries….Felicity, Anna and Louise were very happy girls…thanks for liking our facebook page everyone….

If you haven’t already had a look and liked our facebook page, it’s well worth it, there is lots of info and updates on there to keep you informed about all the things going on!

A secret about Metalicus!!!

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know what’s happening with Metalicus…..we have just received our first winter delivery into store. As you know Metalicus have been opening stores around Brisbane including Carindale. Here is a good reason to keep buying Metalicus at your local retailer (like me). To keep Metalicus stockists happy, they have done a range in every delivery that is sold exclusively in the small retailers store…so if you want something different to what everyone else will be wearing come by and have a look at the new styles and colours…exclusive to us! It’s first in best dressed gals, there are some seriously cute styles! joc x

New range….`Lark’….

I have been admiring this cute range of homewares from Lark for ages and have managed to finally get it into store. There are the gorgeous jam making accessories, vintage inspired jars with labels, paper napkins etc and also the party range from Belle and Boo including paper plates, invitations, tablecloths, bunting and more….we love it!

The Sardine Tin……

It’s funny, since I opened the Park Bench, lots of people have started asking me where I like to eat out. I have lots of favourites but one place I go to a lot and love is my friend Simon’s tapas bar called the Sardine Tin on little Stanley Street, Southbank.

I love to graze, drink wine and people watch at this little place and I highly recommend  you get down there if you haven’t been. It’s the perfect pre movie dinner spot too. The food is soooo delicious but I am particularly addicted to the white anchovies on toast and the terrine. To see the full menu, go to www.sardinetin.com.au
