Sushi train at hanaichi.

We discovered this gem as we were scouring the brisbane city for a mitre 10 to find the tools we needed to set up for the reed gift fair.  An hour our two later we ended up with very little nails and plenty of fresh fruits.
It s completely unrelated but if you ever visit queen st there s a market there that sell the absolute best strawberries ever. So so sweet!

Back to my point though, what we also found was hanaichi in queen st mall. Lets just say we left as very VE R Y satisfied customers, as you can probably already tell from the pictures.
So next time you charter out to unknown territory, its always good to walk in those nooks and crannies.  You might not find what took you there initially, but you might just find what you never realized you wanted, and for us that was a sushi train!

And fyi we ended up finding that mitre 10 too.

Australia's most prestigious art prize, say hello to the Archibald!

The beautiful gallery opens to this amazing view
The Lovely Lidia! modelling our Archibald flowers!
After feeding your soul with all the art, you can walk right over to attend to your stomach!

If there was ever a place of complete class, culture and serenity i would definitely recommend visiting the Tarrawarra Museum. Sitting atop a hill at Healsville you will drive through endless breathtaking scenery before the beautiful gates welcome you to drive through rows of trees where you will discover the stunning architecture of the museum.

We were lucky enough to be invited as a sponsor of Australia's most prestigious art award for the 2011 Archibald prize. Our beautiful paper flora range has been custom made with the Archibald theme colours and our stunning display of butterfly frames will be available at their gift shop.

It is such an honour to work in collaboration of this event and we thank Tarrawarra Museum for the phonecall!
If your an art appreciator, make sure you catch the event that starts 3rd July! We'll definitely be at the preview night on the 2nd!
All the best!

Wow Tutankhamun


We just went to the night session of King Tutankhamen at the Melbourne Museum,

And must say we were very impressed, the amazing skill and craftsmanship this ancient civilisation had is amazing!

A must see is a beautiful little box that is made from Ivory and is one of the first to use hinges, such amazing detail!
Also the main coffin has such amazing detail and finesse
And of course King Tut's Dagger at the end, wish they sold replicas at the shop!!


Some useful words we learnt, Ankh means life and Re-is Sun!

that's pretty much all we remember!

Check it out while its on, day sessions are really booked so night sessions are best as there are a lot less people, but you don't get entry into the museum as it is closed!
