Half price kids' bedding from Home-Work with code

Now is the chance to grab a huge bargain on this beautiful screen-printed 100% cotton children's bed linen from Melbourne designers Home-Work before they are discontinued. I love all their designs and to be able to get your hands on this quality work for half price is amazing.

Hello Milky linen cushions and bedding

Hooray for beautiful, locally-made homewares! Australia really is the centre of exciting textile design. I discovered this Melbourne-based gem on Pascale's blog Spoonful of Colour a few weeks ago. Jessica from Hello Milky screenprints by hand beautiful homewares including linen toddler/cot bedding, cushions and softies for big and little kids. Seriously gorgeous.

Jessica prints her gorgeous homewares in her kitchen! Each piece is made individually by hand (no mass production here). The cushions and bedding are printed on luxurious 100% linen (200gsm) with non-toxic water-based inks. The linen naturally becomes softer and less crinkled over time.

These are beautiful pieces that would make great gifts for new babies, for baby showers, or special Christening or naming gifts. I have that gorgeous peach "hello" cushion on my own Christmas wishlist too. Congratulations Jessica on a beautiful range; I can't wait to see what comes next.

You can find Hello Milky in the Etsy store and read more about Jessica and her lovely life on her blog. Read more about Australian-designed textiles here on Bondville.

Thea and Sami napery and new studio shop

I miss catching up with Thea Samios at Brisbane ABCD meet-ups. She's a fun, happy, supportive creative soul who creates lovely eco-friendly screen-printed textiles under the Thea & Sami label (you may remember reading about Thea on Bondville).

In Thea's latest newsletter I discovered her new napery (the cross stitch rose is my favourite), and her new studio shop, open to the public in the bayside Brisbane suburb of Capalaba. Apart from selling her lovely homewares and textiles, Thea also runs screen-printing workshops (high on my to-do list).

The studio shop at unit 1, 6 Jones Rd, Capalaba, QLD is open Saturdays from 10am - 3pm where you may catch some screenprinting in action if you are lucky. Thea is hosting an Australia's Biggest Morning Tea event (including goodie bag with tea towel!) at the studio on May 26th to fundraise for the Cancer Council. For more information, check the Thea & Sami studio blog.
