Mmm! Minnette!

So it's been a while since I have blogged about my finds while trawling the interwebs, but I have found something so utterly delicious I simply HAD to share with you!

The yummy resin wearables from Minnette by clever Adelaide jeweller, Minnette Michael caught my eye while scanning MadeIt for some sweet treats and boy do they look tasty. No really, look at them!

The Strawberry Cream resin pendant necklace was the first piece to catch my eye but wait, there are even Black Liquorice Cats and Pineapple brooches on her website too!

Just be careful though, they may induce some kind of small lolly binge by the time that afternoon slump rolls around!

Free Gift With Purchase!

Pinch and a punch for the first day of the month! It's already October, can you believe it!?

The best part about a new month is new online purchase gifts!
If you kind folk spend over $15 in my Etsy store (not including postage) before October 31st 2010 you will receive a complimentary Dala Horse Badge with my thanks.

*Badge colour will be either red, blue or yellow as shown above. They are randomly selected*

MadeIt Blog Featured!

I was flicking through twitter on the bus the other day and saw that MadeIt had compiled a blog post on badges for sale on their site. I was super happy when I saw that my origami paper badges were included! Weeee! :)

Etsy News!

Morning folks!

Did you know that you can now view Etsy in Australian dollars? Pretty neat, huh?

I have a teeny issue with this though. It makes my prices go all higgledy-piggledy! What I mean by that is, the prices listed in $AUD aren't the true set price until you check out with Paypal. They are simply well-calculated approximations. BUT! When you check out with Paypal, you are still paying in $USD. Hmm.

For me, personally, I am going to continue shopping on Etsy with the prices set in $USD. It seems to being the easiest, smoothest way. Plus, I have a thing for well rounded numbers (no cents, please!)

If all of this currency conversion hoo-haa is bothersome for you, why don't you pop on over to my shop at MadeIt.com.au? All items listed are all set in Australian dollars and the best part is you will be supporting Australian handmade! Yayy!

Free Gift With Purchase!

Who doesn't love a freebie?

Well, when you spend over $15 in either my Etsy or MadeIt shop, you will receive a complimentary art postcard featuring an illustration by yours truly.

The free postcard offer is available from the 1st of August 2010 - 31st August 2010 inclusive. Only one postcard per order.

Also I would like to publicly apologise to Sarah Hazlehurst of Ahoy Dear Sailor (a favourite Brisbane label of mine) for offering Scrabble Rings as a free gift with purchase, which was announced earlier this week on this blog. As she herself sells these rings, I have personally apologised to her with utmost sincerity and have removed both the blog post and gift with purchase offer.

Craft Talk

Craft Talk Badges (25mm) - Purchase these on Etsy or MadeIt

I've been getting back into drawing lately, which is rather grand because it's something I have always loved to do but since working pretty much full time I've found I have fewer hours to sit down and put pen to paper.

So when I have a bit of spare time, I've taken to drawing a few crafty items, which are scanned and printed out in mini size, and then turned into nifty little badges to wear on my coat. I hope you like them too. What's best is that there are more designs to come, yippee!

Pssst! Two packs of these craft-talk badges are available at Brisbane's in.cube8r.

Hello lovelies!

I really must apologise for being away from this blog for such a long, long time. Lots of things have changed, some things have stayed the same but best of all, I have new products to share with you all! Hip, hip hooray!

Above are the current three tote bag designs that are now available to purchase off Etsy as well as MadeIt. Yes, Pannikin is back to selling on MadeIt.com.au! Why? Well, while it's important to support handmade, it's even better to support Australian handmade!
