Meet the newest addition to our Bowerbird family - Roxy! With the two oldest kids on their life adventures, our youngest campaigned hard to get a puppy “because she is now an only child”. It wasn’t a hard sell 😂 she is absolutely adorable 🥰

So many grateful thanks to everyone who supported us this year in anyway - from ordering on the website, coming in store, or seeing you at a show. You are why we are still here. Thank You!!! 🙏 Bowerbird will be closing for the Christmas Break from Saturday 20th December 3pm and reopening on Tuesday 6 January. The website will still be open and I will be filling and sending orders a bit sporadically throughout that period. Melanie, Maree and Saskia wish you Happy Holidays and look forward to seeing you next year!!

My daughter is home for the holidays! I have put her awesome sewing skills to work and she has created these cute stuffies Harry & Miss Kitty from Red Boot Quilt Company. They are great way to use up your stash and to make a personalised quick Christmas gift.

How freakin’ cute are these Hemingway Pouches? Maree made them with her impeccable skill and I added the cute factor by stitching these cute dangly thingummys. Such a fun way to use up your scrappy (and expensive) Soft and Stable left overs. I thought they could also look cool sewn onto the pouch like a badge or patch. The cool retro looking collection is called 3-2-1 Blast Off and has a fun panel included. ▪️Pattern is Hemingway Pouch by ▪️Hardware is by ▪️Fabric is 3-2-1 Blast Off by

So Excited for this new collection by it’s called and features allllll the animal love and rainbowy goodness, there’s a whole stack of new True Colours to fall in love with too. What’s your favourite animal? I have to confess to a wee bias towards the snow leopard with the rosebud spot sooooo cuuuute. You’ll find it all available on our website and instore.
