🌿🌼 Is that Spring we can feel?! 🌼🌿

A couple of warmer days, some fabulous new makers to Whoopee, and suddenly it feels like the perfect time for a window refresh!

We’re bringing a little Springtime gardening + nature goodness to the front window, including two brand new additions to Makin’ Whoopee:

🌈 The wonderfully bright and colourful Plant Chains from woljam studio — a fun little way to add colour and personality to your indoor jungle.

🌱 Eco garden tools from Gardening on Country-Eco garden tools made from recycled plastic , cleverly made using recycled plastic bottle lids — practical, colourful and giving waste a whole new life.

Add in a few more garden, plant and nature-inspired goodies from around the shop and our window is about to get a whole lot greener. 💚

Pop past and have a peek at the new window — and come inside to see what else is new!

Yesterday was absolutely crazy with 7 deliveries, including some of our local makers. I think I saw every one of our regular posties and couriers. Lots of restocks and amazing new products are making their way into store, but first I need to get them all listed and labeled. If you haven’t been on a while, make sure you come in and check out the newbies.

Today’s agenda: DAY OFF! 🥳
Also today’s agenda: bookkeeping, paperwork, website updates, admin...

EVERYONE wants one of these right now... 👀🖤❤️
And we can absolutely see why.
Our lovely local maker Sarah from Swan Glass has had an incredible rush on her handmade stained glass Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo Feathers recently — with hundreds of orders heading her way! 😲👏

Meanwhile, we’ve just realised something...
WE STILL HAVE SOME!

These beautiful stained glass feathers have been sitting quietly in Makin’ Whoopee waiting for their people, and with Sarah now busily making hundreds more, it seems like the perfect time to remind you just how special they are.
Handmade locally here in Far North Queensland, each feather is inspired by the magnificent Red-Tailed Black Cockatoo and looks absolutely beautiful hanging in a window where the light can catch the glass. ❤️
And the best bit?
You don’t have to wait for one to be made — ours are already here and ready to go!
We currently have a handful available (both the male and the female varieties), but once they’re gone, they’re gone — and given how busy Sarah is right now, we can’t promise when we’ll have more.
Available now at Makin’ Whoopee in Cairns.

And Sarah — congratulations on the incredible response to your beautiful work. We love seeing one of our local makers absolutely smashing it! 💛👏
