A rainy afternoon of creativity with Zpagetti at Free Range Living

I was lucky enough to spend a very relaxing and rainy afternoon with a lovely group of creative ladies at one of Free Range Livings creativiti workshops. The workshops are held inside the lovely Free Range Living boutique in Kurnell, Sydney just by the lovely Silverbeach and nearby cafes and Galleries. I have never done crochet before, let alone with the thick recycled jersey twine known as 'zpagetti'! After a couple of hours over afternoon tea and some help from Gwen, Deni and friends I actually created my very own zpagetti crochet bowl. Lots of fun, lots of laughs, and a perfect Saturday afternoon. Who knew crochet could be so relaxing! 

FRL creative learning programs are designed to enhance participants techniques and knowledge in a range of creative arts and contemporary hand crafts. We want our participants to feel inspired and empowered, believe in their ability to CREATE and EXPRESS THEMSELVES These skills will be a life long partner, great to access in quiet times at home, for relaxation or as a boredom buster, and will always bring joy and a sense of achievement. http://www.freerangeliving.co

Rabens Saloner Danish Style

    

 

 

You know I love Scandi style and I continue to have a major crush on Danish design label Raben's Saloner - women’s clothing brand established in 2007 by designer Birgitte Raben Olrik. She entered the fashion world as an entrepreneur with a great deal of experience from her many years as a competent purchaser for Apair and Flying A - two of Copenhagen’s most successful fashion shops. The lovely laid back, yet stylish expression, gorgeous textures and misty colours are just perfect for our climate and relaxed culture. No wonder Rabens Saloner has already appealed to fashion-conscious women in Australia, Germany, England, France, Italy and Sweden. Home base is Vesterbro, Copenhagen, a part of the city where Birgitte finds a wonderful and most inspiring multi-cultural mish mash. Her studio also houses Rabens Atelier, the designer’s ultracool interior shop. I am very excited that one of our lovely local partners ROAR will be stocking selected pieces from the new Raben's Saloner collection. I am also very excited about the new ROAR Fashion blog which I have just launched. Jump on over and take a look at the ROAR blog and be sure to follow all the fashion news on instagram, twitter and facebook too. Thanks Natalie x x
