Cute Letter Folding Tutorial

Anyone remember doing this at high school? We decided to use this letter folding technique for some recent vouchers we were making.  Did you happen to get one in a goodie bag from Canberra Creatives Mega Craft Day?

Anyway, it's super easy and pretty cute for so many uses! Be fun to write notes for the kids and pop in their lunchboxes hey? Or maybe, just like in high school, a special love letter for your sweetheart... nawww.

We thought we'd share our experience here in the form of a quick and easy photo tutorial. 

Enjoy!

Kidtastic Crafts End of Term Parties!

We have had so much fun hosting Charmaine and her Kidtastic Craft Program at the cafe this term. Every week there is something new and fun for the little ones to try and we love seeing the same faces returning each week for more. To celebrate end of term we will be part-ay-ing! Details below. Shall we see you there?

The school holiday program is also taking bookings. Click here for details.

Super gorgeous new 3 piece settings arrived at Bliss this week. 

Which colour would look best at your place?

Normally $249 but you can have one for $199 if your quick!

Everybody Needs Good Neighbours

You may or may not be aware that our little shop is located right next door to our great little cafe Tulips and that we are regularly bombarded with delicious foodie smells wafting through our door. 

Of course it's a blessing and a curse all at the same time isn't it? It's lucky we are often too busy to be snacking all day or we may find ourselves struggling to fit through doorways and supermarket checkouts!

We wanted to share with you a quick pic of today's Friday Lunch Special. Every week chef Josh whips up something fabulous and new for the occasion. Today he's gone for a Chicken Pad Thai, so simple and fresh and AMAZING. It's a tough life being official photographer and taste-testers but someone has to do it right?

Kidtastic School Holiday Craft Program at Tulips Cafe

Have you brought the kids out to Tulips yet to get crafty? Charmaine from Homemade Kids Parties has been busy running craft sessions at the cafe for the last few months. She has ramped up the sessions for the holidays, with an earlier start (10am) and Friday sessions as well as the usual Tuesday's and Thursdays.

You can find the calendar of events on our facebook page here -

Next week the children will be making Hairy Caterpillars! Then our ever popular Potting classes will also feature.

If you have pre-schoolers and toddlers, don't forget that the program will continue after school is back, each Tuesday and Thursday from 10am. Stay tuned for that program!

Plant of the Month - Rhododendron

This week we took delivery of a stunning batch of fresh Rhododendrons. They have such gorgeous blooms! Rhodo's are suited perfectly to Canberra's climate and flower over a long period in Spring. There are over 1000 species, coming from all over the world, including one from Australia.

Rhodo's like a slightly acidic and well-drained soil, which is easily achieved when adding manure or compost to the soil. One small pest to watch out for is thrip in late spring. A simple way to get rid of them if you do find them is with Pyrethrum spray.

They are surprisingly hardy so great for the non-green thumbs out there. And just because we love them so much we're taking 25% off so they're now only $22.45 each! (from $29.95)
