Online Store

I recently removed my online store....

but don 't worry - a new one is currently being worked on and will be bigger and better than ever

It will, however be a while in the making, as I need to make and photograph at least one of every item in all the available colours & patterns

To Market ... To Market

This week I have made some more lovely porcelain spoons for Salamanca Market

Ideal for many things, but I like them best of all for Jam with Scones & Cream

To Market ... To Market

This afternoon I will be putting the lustre detail on more of these lovely little pots.

They are Southern Ice Porcelain with Vintage Wallpaper embossed detail on the outside and glazed on the inside. They also have a platinum lustre edging detail and come with a tiny spoon, and are fast becoming one of my best selling homeware pieces.

Vintage Coasters are back in stock - I was keeping these aside for the Christmas rush, but so many people have been requesting them....so here they are.

Each coaster is rolled by hand, then embossed with a Vintage Wallpaper, before being cut into shape, glazed and fired.

To Market ... To Market

Well it's Friday market show and tell, but this week I have only been able to do bisque firings, as my elements need replacing and I'm waiting on them to arrive from the mainland. I have heaps and heaps of new work and samples waiting to go into the kiln, but they will have to wait.

But I have made some new drop earrings to match the necklace, as the other pair sold very quickly. I am working on a new line of jewellery with these earrings in mind, as they are really lovely

A New Year

This year is an exciting time for magoolie designs. There will be a make-over of all the existing presentation tags. New ideas and new pieces will also be making their way onto the stands. This week I have been working on some new fresh designs for the label. Rather than release them all at once, I have enough ideas for the whole year!!! I just hope that they all turn out.

Sometimes I have an idea, and I make the sample and once it comes out of the kiln it doesn't quite look right, or hang right, or sit right..... so back to the drawing board. Sometimes it can take a few weeks for a new item to be realised, and sometimes a few months worth of tweaking is involved. Sometimes it doesn't even make it into the range at all. After I have made my samples I always try them out at local markets first to guage interest and get feedback. If everything turns out well....then it's off to make some more and contact my wholesalers to tell them the good news.

Cradle Mountain Lodge

Cradle Mountain Lodge Boutique now stock magoolie designs

If you haven't been to Cradle Mountain - then you are really missing out on something special.

The walks are beautiful and well worth the drive up there.

A Great Market Day

I was tired today... but once I had set up and the customers started arriving it's hard to focus on yourself. I really enjoyed Salamanca Market today.

After I set up I purchased some plants for the garden. Then did a quick round of the stalls - spotted Katie from 'what katie did next' and also Narelle from 'Ruby Victoria Letterpress' - these are all other fellow Tasmanian's that design and make all their own wares.

Around 9.00am I headed off quickly to the Lamb spot (sorry don't know what it is called - but they do fantastic food) and ordered a Lamb wrap - they also do a divine egg, bacon, mushroom, tomato roll for breakfast .... so yummy!!!!

I had a great day sales wise - as well as my usual jewellery sales I sold my new set of heart mugs to a lovely couple, and a few more girl mugs, some coasters, a few mini condiment/salt&pepper pots and lots of bits and pieces.

It's so nice to know that people do appreciate handcrafted items.

At the end of the day I headed off to another stallholder (sorry, also do not know what they are called - but I will find out) and bought some brownie/fudge - which I call 'fownie' and some other delightful mini desserts to take to my Mum's house, as I'm heading over there to stay the night and have dinner - along with my 3 boys, as my husband is away.

It's going to be 30 degrees tomorrow, so as Mum lives at the beach I will spend the day relaxing there - swimming, having a BBQ and drinking champagne....
