New Photo Shoot

Today we are sharing with you a few images from our latest shoot. We took over 450 photos, and most of these won't go to print or go on our website so if we didn't put them up it would be such a waste! Hope you enjoy. Above: Chocolate Rick Rack Placemats and Runners with Bamboo Bowls

Home Beautiful: Plum Cake

Check out this gorgeous photo from the April edition of Home Beautiful magazine.  Its a cracker shot of our bamboo chopping board and the recipe looks amazing too! You might recall that back in February Caroline baked a plum cake with fruit from her inlaw's orchard, so seeing this shot made us feel like we were very up with the times! 

Friday!

Well its been a busy week here at Dandi HQ, Friday has come around too quickly! We've received some new samples, done a photo shoot for our new catalogue, and been given some superb coverage in Home Beautiful April. For this reason we were too busy to blog but we hope to have some more dandicrafts and favourite recipes for you in the coming weeks so stay tuned. The above image is a teaser from the photo shoot, no dandi product in it as it was a lighting test, but a nice image nonetheless! Have a great weekend!

Mindi accidentally slipped over and bought three new cookbooks... time to pop on a pini and get back into the kitchen!

It was a really fun day and we would like to say a huge thankyou to Home Beautiful Magazine for letting us get involved

Tea Towel Wrapping

Manuela came up with this clever, reusable wrapping idea for baked goods. Take one dandi tea towel or fabric napkin, place home baked treats in the centre of the reverse side and tie up with pretty ribbon. Looks just lovely and the receiver can use the wrapping after the goodies are gone!
