Swonderful lovelyness

We got the most marvellous package today! Lovely Liv has sent us some treasures that we had favourited on Etsy because we made her a frock to wear for her graduation. Thanks so much Liv! They are amazing! It's so cool to see such delights in the flesh & just makes me want to shop on Etsy so much more! The faux log (We heart faux!) is by My Imaginary Boyfriend, it came with the best packaging! The crochet Clementine is by Eternal Sunshine. It is so cute! I have arranged both next to my desk so I can absorb some creative goodness from them. Also in this package of joy were these cute little owl salt & pepper shakers, I collect s & p shakers & these are the perfect addition to my set! Twoot!!
On another note, we purchased our first album off Itunes today too & I recommend it, (buying off Itunes & the album!) I thought it might be dissatisfying not having the actual physical object to hold in my hot little hands, which might have been the case if the album wasn't so great or if we didn't listen to all our music through the mac.
Anyways go and get yourselves She & Him - Volume One. She & Him is M. Ward & Zooey Deshanel. Zooey is one of those rare celebrities who is actually cool! & she can sing! Aaaand she has great style, this photo makes me wish I had curly hair.

Craft 2.0

Well, this post is a little late, but better than never!
On Easter weekend I was super lucky (as a last minute addition) to be part of the craft 2.0 fair at the New Dowse. It was such a great day, our (& Liv's) jewellery did particularly well & it was so great to see so many other crafty folk (& know that they exist!)
There was so much stuff I wanted to buy & many more things that inspired me to get even more crafty. I bought a cute little slice of cake pin cushion for Liv who loses her needles. (Maybe she could post a picture on her fancy new blog? ;P ) The cake came from Sarah who had the table next to me with Nibbles.
I also purchased a beautiful peachy bag that resembles a bridesmaid's dress (in a good way) I've had a penchant for peachy & coral coloured things for a while now & couldn't resist this! I picked up a really cute mini crochet babushka from the same stall which I have just found on felt, the maker goes under the name of Shirley. I attached my little doll to a chain, she loves hanging out with me & looks so cute!
It turned out to be a really great day even though I was quite hungover & I'll definitely be signing up for the next Craft 2.0.

Oh you pretty things!

We have some beautiful new things in store this week! We are pleased to have some lovely silk screened prints from Australian designer & illustrator Brooke Bobridge.

Brooke is originally from Perth, but has been based in Melbourne for sometime before recently relocating to Bangkok. She has exhibited internationally & her cute illustrations have been featured in Curvy as well as numerous other publications.

The prints look so perfect in Swonderful! We will be reluctant to sell them, but whoever snaps these pieces up will be making a great investment in some beautifully produced art.

More gocco

Just had to share some more pics of my first run... x

Loco for Gocco!

We've got lots of super great things to blog about this week, but I'm going to start with our new beautiful Gocco. It's the most fantastic piece of design ever, it really is.

Basically a Gocco is a miniature screen printing press, the whole process is done using one little (& cute!) machine, no chemicals are involved & you don't need much space or a light tight room.
I was amazed at how easy it is! I was preparing myself for the worst & reminding myself that practise makes perfect, but with the Gocco, you don't even need practise!
For more on Gocco read this, or search gocco on flickr.

We bought our gocco from A Little Goodness on Etsy. She was kind enough to create a custom listing for us & included some cute Japanese sweets & little paper bags in our package.
Thank you!

I tested it our for the first time today & I'm pretty thrilled with the results! I can't wait to Gocco everything... Wake me up before I Gocco!

Exciting & new...

Hey hey hey!
We are very excited to be celebrating our 6 month anniversary! Yessir, we have been Swonderfuling for 6 months. We've still got a lot to learn, but it's all fun.
Here are some snaps of our new range from our label papercup, the range is called Hum Drum Hey Day, this is not the complete range yet, we have tees coming this week & bomber jackets on the way too! Plus we'll no doubt be adding bits & pieces all the time. We hope you like what we're doing!
