New Piggy Back Animal Brooches!

20 March 2012

 

Well we saved the best till last in our opinion! These super cute animals piggy-backing other animals are one of a kind! Inspired by our love of animal friendships (I’m sure any regular readers will recognise my own pets Wilfred and Juno in there) these little guys are barrels of fun and theres sure to be one that will make you giggle.

 

This super cute pig and monkey brooch was inspired by THIS hilarious video! We found ourselves singing the song for DAYS afterwards (this is us officially warning you, IT’S CATCHY) and we just couldn’t resist making them into something wearable!

These guys are just a cute little coupling, lemurs and macaws are both so full of character! We’ve handpainted all the tiny details and colours, which we feel makes this one a super special.

This cute Frenchie and Bunny brooch is inspired by my own little fur babies, Wilfred and Juno. I think in a perfect world Juno would love her own personal puppy to ride. For now she’s working on sharing the couch with him, so we’ll see how they feel about each other in a year or two. This sweet little brooch really is two of the most adorable pets, rolled into one super cute piece of jewellery! If you can’t own one as a pet, own this instead.

And lastly this cute tortoise and kitten brooch is inspired by THIS video our friend Sarah introduced us to. And we’re glad she did, because it’s adorable. And here is a funny little brooch you can wear with pride!

We hope you’ve loved all the new friends we’ve introduced you to! Kx

New Adorable Animal Brooches!

6 March 2012

We’ve been very busy lately, dreaming up some great new things! Here’s the first batch of our little friends, based on some super cute favourite animals of ours. Smug little Fennec foxes, chinchillas in winter outfits (we like to call it a Chinchilly), bears in specs, Ferrets in love & even wrinkly hairless cats! These little guys are sure to find a nice home on your favourite coat or cardigan this winter and beyond.

They are all made with love from wood, perspex and plastic. We even hand paint their tiny eyes and accessories. Each one is a labor of love, and we hope you enjoy these new little friends as much as we did designing them for you all! Keep an eye out this week on our Facebook page, we’re holding some cool giveaways to introduce you all to them personally! In the mean time, check them out HERE and choose a favourite! K & L xx

Good Things Lately…

1 March 2012

With such a short last month of summer we’ve been soaking up the sunshine and trying to make the most of the warmth while it’s here (though I am not so secretly willing winter to come asap for wardrobe sake) Heres some fun things we’ve been up to lately.

We visited the kiddy farm with Lynds & Ben on the weekend. This piglet could have fit in our bag….surely.

Nice little bike rides to the park.

Ball and frisbee marathons, often involving several mixed breed puppies chasing Wilfred till he can hardly breathe.

Beach visits (though I haven’t entered the water past my knees at all this season!) to our favourite dog-friendlies on the north side.

Clontarf and Sirius Cove, which are perfect doggy beaches if anyone is interested.

Trying new local cafes (this one was Double Roasters in Marrickville) and sitting out in the sunshine (again, with Wilfy in tow). He’s such well behaved little guy we can never bare to leave him at home on weekends. He has no interest in wandering off, avoids small children and is happiest slouched between the two of us on the cool floor. He’s even learnt to drink rather delicately from a take away cup when places don’t have a bowl for water.

And finally spending some quiet time with Juno before the puppy gets home at night and when the day has cooled down enough for her to get active again.

Even though I’ll be sad to see summer go, we’ve enjoyed this mild (and sometimes WEIRD) weather but I do look forward to dragging out my boots, socks and coats sometime soon! Hope your summer has been as lovely as ours has been. Kx
