Oh-so-pretty May Gibbs designs have our hearts a-flutter!
Autumn’s crunchy leaves and blazing colours are making way for crisp mornings and cosy days by the fireside – and we can’t wait for the perfect day indoors.
How about you?
Recipe for the perfect winter’s day
Step one – Get baking
Now, the first ingredient for the perfect winter’s day is something delicious in the oven… So pull out your favourite recipe and get baking.
Add some buttery sunshine with this Kip&Co x May Gibbs Blue Skies Baby Linen Tea Towel.
Once the delicious aroma of fresh baking begins to waft through the house, it’s time to move on to step two.
Step two – Time to taste!
Fill your sweet and whimsical May Gibbs Coffee Cup with your favourite hot drink, take some deep, peaceful breaths and then savour your delicious homemade baking. Honour your efforts by taking the time to really taste your treat, just like grandma once did when things moved more slowly and there was time to contemplate life.
Step three – More for tomorrow
Time to put away the sweet treats – and this super cute May Gibbs Cookie Jar is just the spot.
The delightful design will bring a touch of nostalgia to your kitchen – and it will be all the more satisfying now that you’ve filled it with baked goods made with love.
Step four – Unleash your creativity
Next, it’s time to get crafty!
No matter what you’d like to create, this 7 Piece Multicoloured May Gibbs Printed Organic Homespun Cotton Fat Flat Bundle can help you bring the joy of May Gibbs’ much loved stories to life.
More durable than ordinary cotton, this fabric is perfect for creating pencil cases, library or shopping bags, scrunchies or for use in patchwork or quilting projects. Our advice? Let your imagination run wild!
Step five – Set the scene for sweet dreams
Finally, as the sun sets over the horizon, it’s time to put your craft aside and wind down for the night to come.
Outside in the bush, daytime creatures are curling up for bed while bright-eyed owls and bouncy possums leave their beds in search of a meal.
After a warm soak, climb into a cosy May Gibbs Nightie and curl up with a good book to calm your mind and bring your perfect winter’s day to a delightful end.
