Australian Platypus Cotton Tote Bag
 
About the Playtpus:
These Australian natives are remarkable mammals.  They have a duck bill, webbed feet, are aquatic and lay eggs.  Crazy right !  Oh and the males are venemous.  
They love crustaceans, insects and are quite solitary.  They can live to about 20 years in the wild.  They date back to a family of animals 61 million years ago !  Good one.
 
Why Tote bags?
Because they are sturdy, versatile and a must-have accessory for going about your business.  
If you're like me (I'm sorry !) it means you are always on the go and needing to transport something from A to B. 
Think books, craft supplies, market visits, work stuff, clothes, and of course shopping...
Now you can do that in style with one of our adorable locally printed Tote Bags - YAY !
 
After quite a few enquiries in the shop as to whether we carry brooches, well let's just say "challenge accepted !"
I put on my design hat, and over the next few months created my own take on the once humble brooch, a range of beautiful, colourful and (if I don't say so myself) pretty stylish yet fun brooches featuring Australian Flora and Fauna (and a few other plants and animals that I couldn't resist).
And you know what...I have actually started wearing them myself and I must say I am starting to feel a bit naked without one.
