new arrivals!

Finally times a 100: my design tea towels are here! They will be for sale on my website in a while, so they aren't listed there yet as I am makover-ing! Lucky for you you can get them from the Paperroom online store in the next few days, or simply email me! 
(I wholesale too if you have a store yourself.)

What do you think? I'm so excited I now get to see them as real life printed goodies, instead of just whirling about on my computer!

The following designs I have made are being printed as we blog-tweet-post, and due to arrive chez moi in about 2 weeks. These unbleached lovelies will be for sale on the Paperroom online store website and my own. Yes my online store is finally springing to life! (I am working on having it up and running by the time these babies arrive.)

My inspiration for these come from different fields, but safe to say: living in New Zealand and on my farm have a lot to do with it. I try to design as much as I can by staying true to the Australasian spirit. 

Now as a surprise for you all: I am giving one tea towel away to one of my lovely readers! If you are wanting to get your hands (quite literally) on one of these goodies, mention the design you like and leave a comment about it underneath this post. I will draw someone on Saturday. Good luck!

In the last few months I have come in the possession of several tea towels made by the New Zealand company Esther Diamond. They are too designery cool to use as mere tea towels although I'm sure many will use it for that exact purpose. Me, I like to put them up as a form of Art as they're fun and original.

My jewelry designs have inspired me to apply them to the tea-towel and cushion realm. 

What do you guys think?
