Keren Brown cockatoo and pineapple iPhone covers

Keren Brown's fantastic textile designs are now available on iPhones at The Dairy. I love the cockatoo design and I know that the pineapple covers are going to go like hotcakes. There are a whole range of Australian-designed iPhone covers on the site - head over to The Dairy to take a look. Click here for free shipping worldwide.

More about the pineapple trend here on Bondville.

Yellow Pages Australia mobile app

If you are like me, you probably cancelled delivery of your Yellow Pages phone book a long time ago. I am always online, so a heavy, unread book (worth how many trees?) has no place in my home.

In case you were still holding onto yours, the faster, smarter alternative is to use search online. Certainly it makes sense when you are on the go and need to get errands done. Lucky for me, Sensis sent me an iPhone 5 (thank you!!!) to trial their Yellow Pages Australia mobile app.

Loving: The Storybook Rabbit iPhone Cases

I can't take any friends with me when I go to The Finders Keepers market. They get so bored - probably because I spend all my time catching up with stallholder friends and introducing myself to new ones, collecting business cards and sussing out gorgeous Australian-designed goods to write about.

This weekend I went with my friend Lisa (the red thread) (and her daughter Roxy) who does exactly the same thing, so it was perfect. Here's a cute photo that Lisa took of me devouring a bowl of raw pumpkin, pesto, olives and tomatoes from the Veggie Van. Hee hee!

And here is the Christmas present to me from my girls that I bought and surreptitiously handed to Mr Bondville to wrap up for me - the cutest ever iPhone case by The Storybook Rabbit. You might remember (from this post) that I have been looking for an iPhone case for the longest time - mine is black leather - and finally I found something that spoke to me straight away. Bunting! Cute shy rabbit wearing a dress with Peter Pan collar! Australian illustration! And something the girls will love too. Perfect.

These were just one of the many great products for sale by The Storybook Rabbit (read more about Kelly and her designs here on Bondville) and many other Australian designers at the markets. More favourites coming your way soon!

In the meantime, you can find the iPhone cases and more in The Storybook Rabbit online store.
