William St close up and boxed!

Our new mug features many heritage buildings on William St in the city. Some were saved from being bulldozed and many recently restored. I love the black swan detail on the bridge - those were the days when people were brave enough to put a flock of swans on a light fitting :)

New Mugs - William Street collection

We're ready to reveal our new ceramic mugs! Our latest machine is a digital ceramic decal printer that allows us to decorate our own ceramics. This is very exciting. Anyone who knows us personally know we have an EXTENSIVE ceramic collection!

The mugs get fired and so are permanently embedded in the glaze. This means the colour won't wear or fade and is food safe... cool eh! At the moment we are not making the blank mugs but we have sourced this first collection from Japan.

New Baby suits and Ts

New little Ts and little suits in the store today!

Cushions

Our new member of the Future Shelter team, Claire, has been busy sewing up some cushions for the shop! Come have a look at the Kangaroo Paw and Study cushions, wouldn't they sit perfectly on your couch?

Table Runners

If you've been into the shop lately you would have spied these WA Wildflower inspired table runners. Digitally printed onto linen-cotton fabric and measuring at 150 x 32cm, they'll fit perfectly onto a standard dining table. Making these table runners has been a perfect excuse for us to acquire an industrial sewing machine! Any sewing enthusiasts out there will understand our joy in being able to sew quickly with minimal effort. At the moment we have 3 designs for you to choose from:

Staff training - a trip on the Leewin II

  

 

 

 

 

 Nautical tattoo

We often compare running a business and workshop like running a ship. Christmas is such a crazy time of year for us and so we had our Christmas party yesterday on the Leewin II. After raising the sail and doing a few other important sailing jobs, Jane took the wheel to steer the ship around a very large tanker and do a U-y (wearing the ship).

We relaxed for the rest of journey. Some of the team discussed the finer points of how there are plenty of 'lines' on a ship but only two 'ropes', one of us concentrated on the horizon, and one spent a long time looking closely at the stitching detail on the sail.

Last minute reprints

One thing you can alwasy count on is that our designs are always fresh... a new batch of fresh prints this morning includes Whaleshark and 'Build me a boat" onesies and the Kings Park Wildflower Teatowel in Belgian Linen/Cotton.
