New DIY Kids Range Preview

Over the weekend we were very busy photographing our new DIY kids party range! We're very excited to give you a sneak peek of a couple of items that will be on sale in our Etsy Shop Orchard & Brown over the next week or so! The range will include party items and invitations that you can print yourself and get the whole family involved to create. We hope you like them - let us know what you think!

Etsy Love - Laptop Decals

 

Give your laptop a makeover with these laptop decals from Beepart on Etsy. My favourite is the Sugar Skull design... and the 2 swallows... and the woodgrain... There are so many great designs to choose from - it's hard to decide!

Fancy dessert?

These won't be everybody's cup of tea but there is something about these Natural World Dessert Plates from Anthropologie that draws me in and makes me want to buy them and hang them on a wall! It's vintage meets biology!

Good Ol’ Sailor Vodka

I stumbled apon this on the dieline blog and my first thoughts were “that is really cool!” I love the style of illustration on the bottle. It’s Sweden’s first vodka in a PET bottle and is organically grown.

I Do Wedding Veils

Dannielle and I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah from I Do Wedding Veils on the weekend. It was great meeting a fellow Etsy seller and being able to share stories and advice about our businesses.

My Wedding - Viva Las Vegas!

Jonno and I were married in May at the Valley of Fire in Nevada, USA. The scenery was spectacular and we were lucky enough to have most of our closest friends and family there to share it with us! We also had some photos taken amongst all the old neon signs of Vegas before the wedding at the Boneyard at the Neon museum in Las Vegas. I wore my mother's wedding dress from 1980, I always loved the dress - as a child I would dress up in it! Here are a few of my fave photos from our wedding...

Material Girl

Today I love Aussie online store Materialistic! Australian designer Angie McCarthy creates original hand screen printed pieces for the home in bright graphic colours. I own a couple of her tea towels (that I have been meaning to frame and hang in my kitchen) including the "housework sucks" design! Her designs are fun and playful, make sure you check out her shop Materialistic - you won't leave empty handed!

We have a new website!

We're ultra excited to announce that after many months and late nights we have a brand spanking new website!!! We designed it ourselves and the talented Dannielle (the other half of O&B) put it all together for us. Check it out here www.orchardandbrown.com.au (you may need to clear your cache if you have been to the website before).
