A magpie silkscreen artwork by Roofus Australia to turn heads

This silkscreen artwork by Melbourne-based Roofus Australia stopped me in my tracks. Magpies are Australia’s favourite bird (despite the odd divebomb) and this mid-century modern-inspired version would work in any space. 

The mid-century modern inspired artwork you have to have by Inaluxe

Another amazing Australian-designed Christmas gift idea: the Sleepy Lion art print by Inaluxe - the masters of mid-century modern-inspired artwork. It's a piece that transcends all ages, and would look pretty fabulous with some beautiful mustard linen sheets, or even adding a massive pop of colour in a neutral space. It's certainly a head-turner.

Gorgeous cards with Australian birds and animals in tea cups

Who doesn’t love a black cockatoo - especially in a teacup. This gorgeous card is by Renee Treml and you can find her sweet illustrations on prints, ceramics, Christmas decorations, and children's books too - Renee is also a renowned and multi award-winning author/illustrator!

It would make such a big difference to our local design community if we bought even one or two local cards this year to support Aussie artists. You can even frame them after the holiday season!

Ruby Red Shoes - the sweetest 2019 diary for girls

For lovers of the delightful Ruby Red Shoes books, you'll adore the brand new 2019 Ruby Red Shoes diary! It's a beautiful Australian-designed and illustrated gift by Brisbane artist and author Kate Knapp of Twigseeds fame. Be inspired by Kate's illustrations and poetic musings all year long. What a gorgeous gift for Christmas.
