Every poncho starts life as a paining 🎨🌊

This gentle giant began on @leahsmark_illustration art table as an original watercolour, painted lovingly, spot by spot. We turned Leah’s painting into our Whale Shark changing poncho, so you can take a little piece of art on every dive, surf and swim.

As divers ourselves, we wanted gear that’s practical, kind to the ocean, and beautifully celebrates the underwater world we love.

Have you ever been lucky enough to swim with a whale shark? 💙🌊

Every piece of art in @georgiadrawsahouse new shop is made by someone I know (seriously my favourite kind of shop!)

So as each customer waited for me to ring up their purchases I told them about the person behind the work and asked if they’d follow them on socials and give them a shout out. It’s little things like that that make such a difference to a small business

@sayhelloco.com.au book sleeves
@pubgrubillustration calendars and tea towels
@laura.hamzic.art calendars
@leahsmark_illustration calendars
@sarahallenillustration puzzles
@monicafontesholland art prints
@la.mi.wi frills
@studioinnerwest art and workshops
And my @hiimdeb.au Crafternoon Tea blend

I know I’ve probably missed one of the incredible artists whose work is there so please tag them in the comments if I have!

Now go and follow all these people and show them some love

A few beautiful moments from our time in Sydney at @bigdesignmarket 🥹💛

Sydney, you really do know how to turn it up. I always have the BEST time.

It’s not just seeing so many of you choose colour to express your joy, your spirit and your style. It’s the conversations. The stories. The way you choose pieces to celebrate yourself, or gift them to someone you love.

Knowing that something I created gets to become part of that never goes unnoticed, and it definitely never goes unfelt.

The couple of weeks leading into this market were BIG. Very little sleep, a lot of making, and definitely a few moments of wondering how I was going to get everything done 😂 But standing there this weekend made every single late night worth it.

And then there are my market people. 🥹

My beautiful market friends who have basically become my work family. When you work for yourself, you don’t really have “colleagues”, so these humans have become the closest thing I have to them. They’ve seen me through some really hard moments, celebrated the good ones, fed me, made me laugh and genuinely feel like family.

I already miss them dearly and I’m crossing EVERYTHING that I get off the waitlist for Melbourne so I can see them one more time this year. 🤞🏼

And of course, my Mum. ❤️

I genuinely couldn’t do this without her. Even on Sunday when I was an absolute wreck from exhaustion, she was the one saying, “Go. Sit down. Rest. I’ve got this.”

She always has.

To the incredible @bigdesignmarket team 🩷I genuinely don’t know how you do it. Every market is such a joy to be part of, the crowds SHOW UP, and you create something that feels so special every single time.

And finally, thank YOU.

To every person who bought something, came back to see me, stopped for a chat, brought a friend, told someone about Flowature, tried something on, shared a post or simply came by to say hello ~ thank you.

Six years into this little colourful world I’ve created, I still don’t take any of it for granted.

Sydney, you were beautiful. 🌈

Thank you for continuing to choose colour, creativity and this little business of mine. It means more than you know. 💛
