📚❤️ For the love of books…

Some things just belong together — a good book, a cosy spot, a bookmark, somewhere to keep your glasses… and maybe a notebook and pen for those thoughts you just have to write down. ✍️📖

So, I've brought some of my favourite bookish pieces together and given them a name…

✨ The Book Lovers Collection ✨

Featuring:
📚 Book sleeves
🔖 Bookmarks
👓 Glasses pouches

And the book sleeves aren't just pretty! They have a handy pocket for a notebook or whatever little extras you want to carry, plus a spot for a pen or two.

Match them up for a coordinated look, or mix and match your favourites — the choice is yours!

Whether you're an actual book lover, an e-reader enthusiast or a journalling fan, there's something here for you. 💕

You can browse the collection online at Protea Creations or pop into Copperfield Collective to have a look in person. I’ll also have a limited selection at the Waikanae Spring Fair tomorrow 😉

Because sometimes the perfect gift isn't another book… it's something to make enjoying that book even better. 📚❤️

🐾PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: PAWS ON THE GO🐾

We all love the fun part of taking our pups out — the fresh air, the exploring and those happy little tails wagging along the way. 🐶❤️

But there's one essential we can't forget... 💩😂

That's where Paws on the Go comes in!

A reusable, handmade p**p bag holder that clips straight onto your leash, keeping your bags right where you need them.

No bulky holder.
No flimsy plastic.
No digging around at the bottom of your bag.

Just clip, grab and go! 🐾

Paws on the Go — because every dog deserves a stylish walking accessory too! 🐶💕
