I just donated this brand new limited edition ‘Rezza’ Tea towel to the ‘Melbourne Benefit for Gaza’ silent auction. Continue reading →

I never knew there was such a thing as white bread catering (maybe white trash perhaps?) Nor did I know that I was the authority on it. However, it came to light at my 40th birthday that it was one of my top 5 skills. Well, thank you! I mean, doesn’t everyone know how to make an Asparagus Roll?! And the devilled egg? It really needs no introduction. Growing up in the country, these were staples at afternoon teas, picnic lunches and, well, funerals. It’s the best thing about wakes – the food.

I also met a heap of talented & industrious ladies that I will hopefully connect with again soon.

Reservoir just got more glamorous with it’s very own tea-towel! If you don’t wash dishes, use as a display tea towel. Instant kitchen cred, me thinks.

if you’ve ever used sewing pins I reckon you just might recognise this image. A new cushion design about to go into production. A homage to all things crafty!
