Koolaman Designs

.jpg)
I am very excited about Koolaman Designs being part of Piccadilly.
Over the decades, Australian women have always found ways to be resourceful during times of hardship and drought and Lisa O’Keefe and Stacey Clayton of Koolaman Designs are no exception. From Lisa family’s 73,000-acre sheep and wheat station in Northern NSW, the sisters launched koolaman designs, silver with character® a collection of hand stamped silver jewellery that is being snapped up by women across the country.
Lisa lives on Koolaman Station with her husband and three children. Stacey lives near Rutherglen on the farm where the girls grew up with her husband and three children.
All pieces in the collection are hand stamped by Lisa and Stacey and have become a popular way to celebrate the birth of a child or a special anniversary. Mum’s and dad’s tell the girls that they love having the names and birthdates of their children swinging on beautiful pendants around their neck as it keeps those special people close to their hearts.
Koolaman Designs are also available online and prices range from $70-$150. With Mother’s Day just a few months away, it could be that perfect, elusive gift for the mum that has everything. Koolaman Designs, for new mum’s, not-so-new mum’s or just your mum.

Loving Kelly Rae
I love Kelly Rae Roberts, I discovered her a few years ago and have been following her blog ever since. Today she shared the closing of an old keynote and her words really resonated with me.
"we are much more than just artist and crafters. we are people who have a unique and much needed gift of expressing ourselves and the beauty of the world around us. we tell our stories in painterly shades of blues, red, green. we tell it in pretty fonts and beautiful photos. we reach for our dreams through shared connections. we live our lives with a strong belief in a hopeful world that sees us for all that we are. i am so happy to be a part of this expressly unique community because the world needs our visions and it needs our hearts.
in closing, i’d like to read the last few lines of my book, taking flight:
whether you're just embarki ng on your creative journey, or have been on it for years, i wish for you this:that you embrace every ebb and flow. that you feel the full breath of inspiration and that it takes you places you won't ever want to leave. that you remember all that you've learned. to listen to the whispers that are calling you to take notice. to face the direction of your fears and act anyway. to embrace the funky and unique community that has been waiting for you. to honor all that you were and all that you're becoming. to reveal your truth along the way, even when it hurts. and lastly, that you embrace the journey, complete with all the uncertainties along the way. it will undoubtedly lead you back to the best parts of yourself.
your creativity is your soul rising, your spirit taking flight. go now. and don't look back"
