Last minute gifts - how about printables?

Have you forgotten something?....or someone?
Is there a gift that you just forgot to buy?

Well - it's not too late!
How about these great printables?

One of these might be just the ticket to stop red faces and mucho embarrassment on Christmas morning.

Check out all the prints in Ella Jane Studio's etsy shop - surely there is something there for everyone?

These labels might be just the job for a young person who may soon be leaving home coupled with some jars you may have tucked away in the back of your pantry.....

These cameras are just too cute not to include.
They make a great little gift box.....pop some chocolates in why don't you?!

How about sharing some of your favorite recipes?
Print out a bunch of these recipe cards and get writing.
Or you could just print out one and attach it to a plate of shortbread or a jar of chutney.

I couldn't resist another darling print....

Retro caravans are all the go.
This one fits a cup cake, but you could put other treats in there and Bingo! you have a fab gift.

I just love printables - don't you?!

Ooomph and Picollo Pear

Here is a little gem on the Central Coast of NSW - at East Gosford.

It's tucked away behind the shops just off the main road that takes you from Gosford towards the coast....so you have to know it's there!

But once you get there you will find a cafe, food store and gift shop all snuggly fitting into an ex-garage or workshop space.
It has a wonderful post-industrial style - I like!

There are shelves of gourmet groceries.

Great coffee and yummy morning tea treats.*

Snugged into a front corner is Piccolo Pear - "a merchant of fresh flowers and fine wares".

Started a couple of years ago by friends Nina and Judy it's treasure trove of flowers, homewares, and gorgeous gifts. 

This is my favorite thing - mirror inside a shuttered window.

* All the food looked really yummy at Oomph. We went back later for a late lunch - a very late lunch. In fact lunch had finished but we had the most delicious calzone, which I was far too hungry to take a photo of!

Secret Santa - I just have to share

How was your Christmas?
Did you have fun?
Get some surprises?

Do you take part in a secret santa gift swap? Or a Kris Kringle?

I did!
I took part in a secret santa amongst the wonderful members of the DUST team on etsy.

Here is my fabulous array of gifts from Suzanne of Paper Ivy fame!

Aren't I just the luckiest girl?!

If you'd like to see more from Paper Ivy pop on over to her etsy shop.
