Amore No.7 - Sweet Petula

Perfect wrapping for Halloween. For more info visit ---> HERE

Everyone knows i'm a sucker for packaging. I believe it's the first thing that draws me to any product. Hubby gets very wary when i enter new stores with awesome window displays or if we see something at the markets which has 'livvy' written all over it. What can i say? If you make it look good, i'll want it!

As you can imagine i've had to reallllyyyyy restrain myself when it comes to browsing through etsy but this store can not be ignored! Sweet Petula... even the name makes the little girl in me scream in excitement haha

Created in 1995, Sweet Petula is a luxury bath, body & home brand that started by selling products at craft fairs and markets. They now operate from their retail store located in Seattle, Washington in the Pioneer Square District. Oh i can't wait to get my hands on one of these babies!

Ohhh something for the hubby i think haha Visit ---> HERE

A year's worth of soap! can you really resist? Go ---> HERE

Something definitely worth looking into =) Go ---> HERE

Chia's day out!

Occasionally when I least expect it hubby surprises me by planning an outing for us. We got up early this morning to go to the Kalamunda Markets, first stopping at Little Miss Cupcake to pick up some treats & having the compulsory morning coffee at Coffee by Day. The markets were PACKED probably due to the lovely weather =)

Waiting for our coffee

Oh so girly Little Miss Cupcake store. Get in early coz they usually sell out!

Busy markets & waiting for eddee to order his Turkish pizza thingy which was realllllyyyyy disappointing =( The smell was great and it looked delicious but lacked any sort of flavour!

Devonshire Tea

Just when i thought it was all over Ed then takes me to Heritage Rose where we had devonshire tea surrounded by gorgeous scenery.

They had a massive koi pond and when it came to feeding time they went crazy!
Kinda freaky if you ask me.

Thanks for a great day baby, you're the best =)

On your marks! Get Set! Gooooooo!

Tomorrow night my sis and I are attending a special formal dinner to celebrate the end of Ramadan. There will be over 100 people coming along making it a WONDERFUL opportunity to show off some of the Olive Farm collection. I already made a special piece for myself and considered making one for my sis if time permitted, well it didn't and when i went to tell her how busy my schedule has been of late she "convinced" me i was making a major mistake not putting something on her since she's been asked to be the official photographer for the night. Yiiiiikkkkeeesss! So with adrenalin pumping and mind eager to be creative i pushed out this peacock number which matches her outfit and now i'm kinda jealous & wanna have it for myself! hahaha


I'm actually really pleased with this piece and I'm considering making a similar one for the wedding range, except i'll make the bloom BIGGER =)

Olive Farm Update

Anyone who regularly visits my etsy site knows i haven't been uploading new products lately and there's a reason why - I'm too busy from my orders on FB! Seriously!

Ever since i made my fan page and word has gone out i've been bombarded with orders, requests or just messages of encouragement from friends who didn't realise i actually do this for a living haha It's funny coz it was only at the beginning of this year a friend mentioned i should advertise on FB and i was like 'nahhhh, no one would care' and lo and behold... TA DA!! (thanks maryam!)

I'm currently in the works of making pieces for my wedding range and preparing for an upcoming photo shoot. I've also applied for a market in Nov *crossed fingers* which will focus more on the current Olive Farm products however eventually i'm going to start weeding it out. I've found something which i truly love doing and i believe it shows in my work, so time to get your dance shoes on coz it's out with the old and in with the new =)
