We are closed for the next two to four weeks, resting & recharging after a full event season...& preparing for what comes next - relocating the studio!!

Veranda stall will have some fresh things this week, & then dried offerings after that.

Big thanks to all our fabulous regulars for a very full week making individual & local botanicals for Mother’s Day, & to my excellent crew of makers; you are stars✨

We are open until Noon for pick ups; anything left over will be on the studio veranda for sale over the weekend.

Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow to all the amazing Mums in the world...& all those who “mother” others. ❤️

Where I want to live, when I am old (or older, if you ask my kids)...one of them imagines I might live in such a hut, or a gypsy caravan, trading flowers for tea. Doesn’t sound too bad a life to me.

Taking Mother’s Day orders now for utterly individual, local botanicals.

How I love old-fashioned blooms (the chryssies, double sunnies, stocks) delivered in a contemporary way... The luminescence of the edges of the chryssies on shot two, actually made my head spin as I wove them into the bunch & I nearly lost my balance. True story.

We deliver to the Metropolitan area, across the Fleurieu & locally.

Sometimes it’s really all about the tree (& we suggested non-arbour/ installation alternatives to frame & “hero” the tree more next time). What I loved about this install was seeing the tonal relationships between the colours of the feature gum tree & the earthy palette of local materials.

Arbour details from an Autumn Equinox wedding; the bride wanted things natural, wild & not too flower heavy, with her bouquet being the spark of colour & lushness for the event.

With thanks to @rebeccamcewan.artist for support on the day.

AND a reminder we are closed for Autumn Break; the veranda is stocked with fresh materials until Monday night, & then Autumnal dried offerings until we reopen on Monday April 19th.

Enjoy the winding back of the seasons & the time for starting to let go & turning inward... 🍃

Thank you Coorong...for the balance of humans & nature to be reversed for a few days, for diverse kinds of fluffy things everywhere(!) aka “fluffies”, for baby emus drinking nearby, for roos mostly ignoring us, for the many small creatures, amazing bird life & birdsong, for walks, bathing, sunrises, sunsets, & the wind & waves. For perfect camping weather, some quiet & time away from clocks & technology of many kinds. And to the natural world, my eternal muse, for endless connection, inspiration, & always more landscapes & awe-inspiring experiences to bring into being.

Every element of the guest lounge was sourced, curated & installed by (or with) us; sculpting both the functionality of the (originally barren) site, plus the feel of the experience of the space, including the aesthetics, driven by our overall concept design.

Autumnal harvest celebration installed yesterday, with a nod to Easter/Oestre...
Having grown up in the Vale, what I always love about installing @ellisbutchers1954 is the conversations that are triggered with passers by about the materials & what I am doing; on this occasion, lovely chats with older women about preserving & “never wanting to see another fig”, from making so much fig jam & chutney in one’s life!
Was so happy (some time ago) to find these preserving jars still labelled from prior use, and to feature a crate from my grandparent’s business. Every time I use these familiar things, I am plugged back in to where I am from, where I live, & where I belong.

This wedding snuck in the week of WOMADelaide, delivered with subtlety for the studio team by the fabulous Evie.

And we are making more nests & Autumnal arrangements (plus Easter centrepieces & wreaths) at the studio too; taking Easter orders now.

More details of @womadelaide
We created layers of interventions across our site (building up firstly from our functional design of the layout & curated furniture elements), installing branches, then dried foliage & flowers, then fresh pickings to dry out, & finally, fresh botanicals in water. Then bunting, lighting & flag placement.
We created a new vocabulary for this install; we had drifts & verges, clumps, tree-crates, installations (composer scenarios) & nests (& were enchanted by the idea of a bouquet tree...there were a few).
After a few more posts, you will hopefully get a sense of the scale of the space & the layers of detail across it, with different material mixes across various elements of the install.
The eagle nest was a favourite feature, with some requests for one in people’s gardens 🌿
