in the poppies store



Finally we have counted, assembled and boxed all our new things....I'm especially in love with the butterfly notepads-ahh the springtime. I gave a pad to one of my nieces- she ran off to her bedroom and covered her pink wall in butterflies. she knows how to make my day, that and practicing ballet with her two sisters make for sweet moments. anyway, anyway everything is now available on our website and will be in stores over the next few weeks. yay for new things.

the latest poppies show






two pregnant poppies, a whole lot of lollies and new things = the melbourne trade show.
all our new things are up on the website but not available for purchase until mid august. we hope you enjoy their brightness! thought I'd share a few snaps of us setting up and how the stand turned out. Our yellow paper strings turned out a treat- If you'd like to make your own all you need is a pack of doilies, spray paint and ribbon. we cut ours in half (big mistake- as they we're tricky to attach to the ribbon) I think folding them in half and hanging them over the ribbon would work better! I imagine them looking rather lovely in a little girls room.
right, time for tea.

nothing to do with poppies





We are back from our little adventure. we had two days of summer weather- such a delight. I had forgotten how green england is,
so leafy and thick, that beautiful deep green. No tired trees worn by this drought of ours. Oh how I long for weeks of rain to kiss our earth back to what I remember it as. I've popped a few holiday pics up. My brother in law said I looked so special in my purple coat that he couldn't walk next to me. I hope you enjoy it, I had matching boots ( thanks to my in-laws who never throw anything out- they have everything you'll ever need) There is a photo of my dear johnny and I, a little pathway, a few cows we met on our walk and the hill I huffed and puffed up. xx

with the trees


dear johnny and I are off to visit family for three glorious weeks. this little snap was sent to me by my mother-in-law just the other day. they live in a little village in Yorkshire, I plan on laying a big blanket under those trees, and staying there for hours with my thermos of tea, what joy.

belki love




this beautiful gem of a store has been a long time supporter of poppies and we are ever so grateful. Tanya's eye for detail, her merchandising skills and the charming collection of things has always drawn us there. We are so thrilled that she chose poppies for grace to be in the window for mother's day. We popped down this morning for a little look-see and took a few snaps. Windows are tricky things, sorry for the reflections! The display is wonderful!!!! thank you Tanya. If you've not been to belki and live in melbourne the address is 631 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North.
