Once again our talented Manny is showing some gorgeous new artwork. This time its at the Finders Keepers Markets which also host a range of other great designer and artists stalls. Check them out tonight and Saturday at the Carriageworks.
Mindi was the lucky recipient of a very special housewarming present from the rest of the Dandi ladies when they came over for some dumplings a few weekends ago.
Our Gum Leaf pattern is so elegant and calming it will cool even the hottest of Summer days! Try the rick rack range of placemats and table runners for easy outdoor entertaining and picnics. 
Bold, bright Bloom is the perfect statement pattern this Summer. Whether you're after a tote for the beach or an oilcloth tablecloth for a fuss free Christmas table, this range will turn heads for all the right reasons. Team the tablecloth with plain dyed berry or wisteria napkins to create a nautical inspired look. 
Yesterday the Dandi ladies all celebrated Mindi's Birthday! We sampled two different types of cake, Chocolate Mud and Orange and Almond flourless, as well as delicious cupcakes from My Little Cupcake (courtesy of a friend in Cairns - how cute!).
We also sat down to the traditional Dandi birthday lunch of yummy sushi and present unwrapping....
Two pressies! + a gorgeous handmade card by resident dandi Artist, Manny
Pressie number 1: The very cool new book by Sydney chick Kelly Doust : The Crafty Minx
Some projects from the book: Top: Beach Bag - a summer essential! Bottom: Elegant clutch? Yes please!
Pressie 2: Speaking of elegant clutches... how gorgeous is this Organic Cotton clutch from aussie company Apple & Bee? Now Mindi just needs to go shoe shopping for some killer heels to match!
Have you seen the new Ski Yoghurt ad on TV? We couldn't help but notice that a Dandi small bamboo bowl has been used! Click here to view the full ad on their Website - we just can't get enough! x
Here are some pictures from the very cool exhibition, Once Upon, which Manny was invited to be a part of. The exhibition was put on by the online community Leeloo, who support emerging designers and artists.
Once Upon featured the work of 40 Artists who were each given a fairytale to interprete in their style. Manny was given Rapunzel and the above image is her interpretation of this wonderful story.
Manny standing next to her precious illustration, we are so proud!
It was great to see how all the artists conveyed their particular tale, and for us to feel a bit childlike again and reminisce some forgotton stories. Manny's work is on the bottom row, second from the right.
The crowd at the opening night. It was a really good turn out, it got very hot it there!
The Dandi chicks, we are uber avant garde!
