Greetings fellow art & nature lovers,
Welcome to our August newsletter!
In these strange times when everything is connected by the internet it’s surprisingly easy to feel lonely and detached. Our calendar was wiped clean of events, and our stockists closed their doors to keep people safe. We honestly missed seeing your beautiful faces at the annual Melbourne Flower Show and the Canberra Handmade Market.
Here’s our silver lining… we have been alone together and we’ve had time to work on both our art and ourselves. Time, to slow down and reflect on the people and places that are truly important to us.
We now invite you to remember happier times too with a special sale on our curated artist prints and thoughtful gifts that celebrate the best of Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Paris.
Let’s make the most of what remains of this year. And, as always THANK YOU for choosing to shop Australian Made and support our small business!
Creatively yours
Isabelle & Melanie (with baby Florence!)
This August let’s celebrate the memories and spread the love and kindness with 15% off a selection of artworks and gifts of our favourite places!
Sale ends 31 August.
| We would greatly value your support As a small business this year has undoubtedly been tough, and if you’re sitting in a similar boat to us then we understand that now might not be the best time open your purse. We are determined to keep doing what we love, which is why we humbly ask that if you like what we do please leave us a positive review.

In mid July we released our most recent limited edition print, ‘Spotted Pardalotes’. It is available from our website in three standard sizes; small (A4), medium (A3), and large (A2).
As soon as I discovered these tiny native birds, I fell in love. I am mesmerised by the rich contrasting tones within the feathers. Their tails have the most incredible and distinct spotted pattern that to me, appears to mimic speckled sunlight through leaves. I have sought to capture the elegance spotted pardalotes possess as they flit and perch among the eucalypt and grevillea flowers.

You will find us at these markets on Sunday August 9 from 8:30am – 3:00pm.

We are excited to once again be included in the @HandmadeCanberra Virtual Market!

Plus you know you’re supporting other australian small businesses so it’s a win win! Save the date, Saturday 26 September 9am-9pm. We’ll also have a cheeky special for you on the day.
Alternatively, you might enjoy a stroll through Sydney’s Botanical Gardens. In which case you can peruse a collection of our art and gifts in The Royal Botanic Garden Shop, which is currently open Friday to Sunday.Humble Beginnings
