MY FAVES
A list of my favourite local collaborators
PRINTING & FRAMING
This I can do for you! Everything is linked up to your final gallery so you can order directly. Or if it’s something special I can order with the printer on your behalf.
LACTATION, PRENATAL & POSTNATAL CARE
I wish I met Jo when I was in my own newborn fog . I had a particularly hard time with my babies when it came to feeding and sleeping.. and I know it would have been a completely different experience had I had access to Jo at that time. Please do yourself a favour and meet with Jo before you birth - she is an absolute blessing on your motherhood journey.
A little snippet from Jo's website to give you an idea:
“I have dedicated more than a decade of my professional life to supporting mums and their babies with specialist complementary care, including fertility support, pregnancy care, positive birth preparation, postnatal care and breastfeeding support."

FLOWERS & ALL THINGS BLOOMIN’ BEAUTIFUL
TWING AND BO
Shelley was my neighbour at The Timber Mill and is now located in Woonona. Super creative, whether it’s dried beauties or fresh luscious numbers.. she has it all! I use her blooms in my studio and also in every corner of my house that I can cram her dried bouquets into!
Shelly covers events, weddings, christening and special orders..I adore her and her work.
