Happy New Year

A rather large native dragonfly.



Gorgeous NZ bush with son Mitchell.





Over the last week I have been doing some great bush walks with son Mitchell. The weather has been perfect! The shop has been neglected. I have learnt how to make Alabama Slammers and Scarlet Pimpernels! Rather delicious cocktails I have to say! I am planning one more tramp through the Tongariro National Park before I settle properly back into work. Oh and there is the races tomorrow which could entail a bit more bubbly!! Happy New Year!

An amazing pedal and large metal A  made by my husband Brett.

Some letters made for a customer in Auckland

A selection of nests with gorgeous faux eggs.(A repeat from last week because I love this photo!)

Mushrooms growing in our garden.

The word 'starry' in different sized font displayed in our shop.

Some great photos from my newly rearranged shop.

Art form of Nature

I was looking through some holiday snaps the other day (to remind myself of Summer!) and came across this one of a shark egg. Apparently the shark winds the casing into the sand with the eggs hidden in the folds. This was found on Arrawarra beach just north of Coffs Harbour in Australia. My son Mitchell spotted it amongst the flotsam and jetsam on the beach. I think its a beautiful little art form of nature.
