South of the River friends… I finally have a stockist for you again! 🥹💌

You can now find a colourful little corner of Kado at Masonmill Gardens in Carmel, tucked away in the beautiful Perth Hills near Lesmurdie 🌿

And honestly, you could very easily make a whole day of your card-shopping trip.

☕ Grab a coffee or something to eat at the café & restaurant
⛳ Challenge the family to a round of mini golf
🌿 Wander around the beautiful gardens
🐾 Keep an eye out for the little quendas hopping around
💌 And obviously… stock up on your Kado cards & gift tags while you’re there

Their Grand Opening is Saturday 29th August, so it’s the perfect excuse to head up to the hills, explore somewhere beautiful and support some local businesses while you’re at it!

Boot Scootin’ Baby 🤠

One of my favourite things about creating new designs is that they usually have a story behind them.

This one started off inspired by my fiery Leo bestie, who’s a cowgirl at heart.

Then my little bestie getting this song stuck in his head and dancing along to it - honestly, it was too good not to turn it into a design.

Whether you’re celebrating a little one, your country-loving bestie, or someone who is always first on the dance floor when country music comes on… this one’s for them.

Available now as a greeting card & gift tag 💌
