welcome to Olive & Mabel

Please meet the delightful OLIVE

I think she is quite gorgeous - I debuted her a few weeks back at the Barn Market, she was such a hit, that I sold out... Here is one I finished for an online order...


My this years Summer A-line dress range will comprise of 4 different colourways.
- my signature Wallflower fabric by Amy butler, avaliable in Cherry & Slate (pictured above) - i have been using it for over 3 years now - and just seem to love it more and more !!
- optic blossom, and retro 'Betty'.
I am still going to be making 'carrie' which I designed up last year, customers seem to like the little carrot!!! - maybe its the only way to get the children near their veggies .....hehehe


Although the above fabrics will be my 'staple' 2011 summer fabrics, I am still able to do custom orders, such as the little apple dot dress I have just completed for a customer.

I have named this one MABEL





Must keep at it - xx

Go the SAINTS ...


Our household is hoping for the Saints to win the AFL grand final today!!!
Billy's Pa bought him a beanie and a scarf to wear - which he proudly did at playgroup on Thursday. Billy started walking last Saturday, be it a little gingerly - but I'm sure the running isn't too far away.

GO THE SAINTS !!!

Funky Homes


Whilst dropping off some stock at the Uber Cool Funky Homes Store today - I just couldn't resist this wall decor, which now proudly sits on our lounge room wall, just above our couch.
I think its rather chic, and the kids seems to love it (Ava actually wants to make some more birds to put on the branches - she thinks the one bird will be lonely) Bless xx

For more gorgeous products please visit Funky Homes online store or visit Helena in store at 149a Liverpool Street, Hobart.

I'm off to PARTY now....YIPPEE
