Love these colourful parrot cards from Sarah Maxey at Nice Work.
For you bird enthusiasts – that’s a kakapo on the left and a pair of rosellas on the right – both native to New Zealand. The kakapo was once described as the ‘world’s largest, fattest and least-able-to-fly parrot’. Awesome.
Another educational post!
Cards available here.

Check out these extra-special unglazed, handthrown candle holders from Sweden’s Gustaf Nordenskiöld. The matte finish is oh-so refreshing.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these beauties for my birthday last month. The bowls are made exclusively from locally reclaimed trees and lovingly handcrafted by the Loyal Loot Collective and local crafts people. This could be the start of a Log Bowl obsession!
