Looking to opt out of fast fashion for your kiddo? These overalls made by Kylie from Reversabub in her sewing room in Melbourne are the perfect solution!

Made by a mum, they grow with your child with roll down legs and adjustable shoulder straps, they are lined and made with a tough cotton to last through multiple childrens tumbles and adventures and maybe best of all are made with fabrics designed by Australian artists that Kylie gets especially made for her clothing ranges!

These will become your kids new daily uniform!

They work on so many surfaces and are flexible and machine washable once heat set on Fabric (or use the air fix for delicate fabrics), but also Polymer Clay, Leather, Sneakers, Vinyl, Rubber, Canvas, Wood, and Paper.

They come in range of Flat Opaque colours including colours made especially to paint sneakers, as well as the Lumiere range which have Mica added to them to make them Pearlescent.

Looking to keep your little one busy inside this weekend? We are loving this finger paint at home at the minute! Now Dj is sitting independently we strip her down to her nappy in front of the fireplace in either in her high chair or on her machine washable splash mat and let her go nuts.

It is so good for sensory play, her fine motor and once she looks like a colour bomb went off we throw her in the bath knowing that the paint won't stain anything including the bath making clean up a breeze.

And we know that it is made in Italy to be washable, gluten free, non-toxic and dermatologically tested all to EU Standards.

What would a small town be without a little bit of drama?
The Kyneton Daffodil & Arts Festival 202y theme, the Bulb and the Beautiful, we all know that all the melodrama of a soap opera couldn't rival a country town 😂
Don't forget to vote for your favourite window, even if it isn't ours!

Continuing our series of ranges of art supplies we hold in store, we have Global Colors Acrylic Paints. We refer to this as a Secondary School Paint, it is better quality than your standard kids paints, it has nice pigments, less fillers and a binder that gives a good quality flexible finish, all for less than $6 a tube.

Plus it has all the benefits of a Australian Made kids paint, you know it is tested to Australian Standards for being Non-Toxic, Zero-VOC, Water Based and Vegan, so clothes aren't ruined and you can use it with kids without the stress of yet another recall like many of the imported brands.

It really is our go-to paint for everything from window displays and signage to making hand prints with our bubba.

Annette has a real passion for her leather work and still hand cut, carves, paints and laces every single piece locally in her studio from Australian leather. Her classic Australian Flora and Native Animals give off a nostalgic vibe and make light and easy gifts for those on your travels, or those that have to travel back overseas.

Her Coasters, Key Rings, Travel Tags and Wallets also make a great last minute gift if you are looking for a gift for Father's Day tomorrow...

Congratulations to Denise Martin for her piece I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud which won the Kyneton Daffodil & Art Festival Art Prize last night. Judge Laurie Benson, love that the daffodils have such character and life and they way the textured background increases interest and added highlighting to the flower.

We would also like to congratulate Heather Mills on receiving the Highly Commended prize for her piece Daffy Dills. Come and see all the winners of each category in the gallery which are on display everyday until the 14th of September.
