Mathilda's sneak peak

We are in the final countdown to our launch at Mathilda's market this Sunday. We are mainly going to show examples of our Memory Albums, but also thought it would be nice to offer some cards for sale. Here is a sneak peak of two beautiful designs Louise has created.

We will have a collection of cards to celebrate new babies, twins, birthdays, baby showers... the list goes on!

Finding the right card can be just as difficult at times as finding the right gift. We often see so many mass produced cards, which although are lovely, they do not always capture the essence of the moment. I keep and treasure every card that my children have been given. Long after the toys have gone out of favour or the clothes have been outgrown and handed on, cards are a beautiful reminder of the gifts and the moment that was celebrated.

We hope that our cards offer a nice alternative. Each card is from a very limited print run. Some of the artwork used is created by us, and others are purchased from other women running small at home enterprises. Some are designers, others photographers. We feel very special to be part of this community striving to add beauty to the world.

Personalised Baby Books

This month we have launched a new project, especially designed for busy Mums and Dads who are too busy getting by, and having fun. We all know what it's like to look back and realise that a month has flown by without us noticing. So often we start out with every intention of filling in every page of that Baby Book, but look back, filled with guilt, when we realise that we barely made it half way through.

Our Baby Book subscriptions were created to help you compile all of those special memories, to capture and treasure every moment.

Louise and I worked together on an album for our dear friend Mel as a record of Finns first year. Mel is a very busy Mum, working part time and sharing parenting with her husband Justin. Finn is a very active, happy and busy boy. When we started working with Mel to create her album, we found that some months things were so busy for her that there was only one or two photos of Finn. She was not 100% sure of when he achieved his milestones but we had a rough idea. What she did know was that she didn't want to risk losing any more special moments.


Jofia- The Whispering Sea

These photos were taken when Finn was 6 months old. This is a great example of how quickly time can fly, and how sometimes we are so busy enjoying the moment that we don't necessarily want to stop and take photographs. These were the only pictures Mel and Justin had of Finn this month. Louise was able to tranform these 2 pictures into a fabulous page that tells the story of Finns growth and his exploration and discovery of the world as he grows.
