Great.ly Boutique Product Spotlight
Tina Frey Designs | Rainbow Serving Set I {SHOP NOW}
Today I added a few more gorgeous handmade products to my Great.ly boutique and thought it might be time to show you some of that goodness here. I have to say that it’s so much fun curating this store and love the idea of bringing handmade talent from here and around the globe together.
Milo & Mitzy Chunky Knit NZ Wool Throws
With winter finally here in the southern hemisphere, there needs to be a few rituals in place that’s good for the soul to help us get through these wet and cold months. For me, other than copious bowls of hot yummy soup and thick bed socks to wear around the home, I always have a throw to snuggle under on the sofa. Even with the luxury of central heating, nothing beats that cosy feeling.
Pick Up Sticks Armchair by Resident
I always love that lone armchair in the home. Quite often it sits in the bedroom, beckoning for an item of clothing to be thrown over at the end of the day or sitting elegantly beside a sideboard in the living room. It’s a statement piece, a chair that doesn’t get that every day use, but is always there as a back up to be pulled out for that extra person.
Monsoon Living Online Store Opening
Let me tell you about one of my dearest friends, Tasha and the opening of her online store, Monsoon Living. Tash and I met in the mid nineties when we were both working in the television industry and hit it off straight away. She visited me twice while I was living in Europe, was one of my bridesmaids and I was one of hers, so it goes without saying that she’s a pretty special friend. Tash also has impeccable taste, which I’ve long admired.
Armoire, Pegs & Casserole Great.ly Store
It’s with absolute excitement that I can officially announce that I am curating an online boutique. Yes, my very own store! Something I’ve wanted to do for so long and it feels really good. This store of mine isn’t a regular online store though, I will be doing this through the Great.ly channel. Now if you haven’t heard about Great.ly then that’s pretty normal because today approximately 50 chosen bloggers and influencers are announcing the launch of their curated boutiques. It really is the beginning of something ground breaking. Read on and I’ll tell you how it works.
The Lovely Registry
There’s a great new international gift registry concept that landed in my inbox last week that I think is just genius and I thought that you might too.
The Lovely Registry is a pinterest-like platform where the celebrator can create their own personal “wish list” website. Here they can upload a personal photo and message for their guests along with images of their heart’s desires from local and international designer and boutique brands via The Lovely’s website or any website. The buyer then “claims” the gift so that there are no double ups and can either purchase the gift directly from the physical store or via the store’s website with an easy “click through” or the buyer also has the option to shop around other stores for the best price.
The Flock | Design with a Conscience
I thought I’d use this Wednesday to do a little shout out for a cool little store out of Christchurch called, The Flock. I haven’t stepped into their physical store, however I’ve spent a reasonable time online and I just fell in love with what they do and truly embrace their ethics for the store, showcasing great design that is made with a conscience.
Wacamole Ceramic Planters
On the back of Monday’s Urban Jungle Blogger, I’ve had my head back into finding original planters to have around the home. Right now for this kind of thing, my heart is with fun handmade designs and my latest discovery in that department is these cute footed ceramic pots out of Spain by Wacamole Ceramic.
