Stu's furniture is a beautiful combination of practicality, comfort, high quality craftsmanship and eco-friendliness that makes for a one off piece that compliments any outdoor area. Stu Robbie has a unique talent for making furniture from wood and with over 35 years of cabinet making experience, he is one of the best in his field. This Dunedin based craftsman makes a range of furniture from platters to large swing seats and is happy to tailor a project to any landscape requirement. So pour a cuppa and plonk yourself into one of his seats at the first opportunity you get.

This is one of his new range, combining recycled coffee bean bags and stunning wood- one of these would be so nice to have…..

Calm in a tea cup

Everyone knows that tea is delicious, but it can also be a nutritional powerhouse that provides an excellent source of antioxidants that can be linked to energy, fluoride levels, bowel health and some anti cancer properties. Stir Tea has an enormous range of fabulous tea from all over the world for you to choose from. Personally I find the white tea with pomegranate very hard to go past, this leafy white tea is blended with safflowers, rosehips and pomegranate to produce a refreshing tea for all occasions. Grab a pack and dust off the teapot because this is a cup of tea you don't want to miss!

Stir tea is based in Queenstown and can be purchased online at www.stirtea.co.nz

Join the Jelly revolution!

I don't care that I live in the country and that the style of these fabulous little shoes will be lost on most, because I HAVE to own them (don't tell the farmer)!

Wendy and Holly jelly shoes are a fantastic way of re-living a piece of your childhood. Admittedly they are a bit different to the last pair of jellies I had at age 4; pink with sparkles! Now though they make them aiming to provide stylish comfort and a bit of fun! I'm thinking that I could crank these from the boat to the bar too, so comfy and hose-able! They are only available in selected shoes stores, a full list of stockists and more styles are available online at www.wendyhollyshoes.cart.net.au

Might need these ones too!!

Have these ones, which was the beginning of the love affair....

Govino glasses-must have in the Susie's bag!

These glasses are the best darn thing I have got on to lately, I can't think of how many times I have been boating with a good bottle of Central Otago Pinot Noir and felt like a criminal as I poured it into a plastic cup, or been camping and broken the last of the glasses!? There is a list of stockists here http://www.bytheglass.co.nz/ so check it out and get some of these before you head to your next BBQ!!
P.S I do not get paid to endorse stuff but would be open to the idea.....

Enjoy xx
