This recipe has been in my family for years, I remember making it when I was a child and I don’t know where it came from, but I make it every Christmas. These truffles are great with coffee after dinner and are very moreish, one is never enough.

In a world where environmental concerns are becoming increasingly important, Gorgeous Creatures, a well-known name in the world of New Zealand home décor, has taken a significant step towards sustainability. The company has been a member of the CO2 Neutral Website global climate initiative for about 10 years.

Gorgeous Creatures has just put up online about 40 new absolutely beautiful cowhide rugs. It is our first new delivery for 2021 and their are some real beauties.

The interior decor colour for 2020 are soft pastel and muddy, calming and kind, this restful palette expressive of watercolour waterfalls and nature is never irritating, yet you can create drama in contrasts of light and dark shades of the same palette.

Using one of our lovely ivory sheepskin rugs we made a super cute woolly sheepskin footstool with wood legs. Everyone who saw the footstool before it went to live in Sydney thought it was adorable.

Every year there are a few great basic neutral colour trends. In 2019 the neutrals are shades of Navy blue, rich browns and cream variations. But it’s the bright colours that keep life interesting.

It is a fact that the exotic introduced species of Australian Brushtail Possum is a major ecological threat in New Zealand. Rats and stoats are also major introduced predators in the New Zealand bush.

Many anti-fur people will argue that by allowing a fur trade to exist, you are by default making sure that the possum will never be eradicated in New Zealand. Here is what we think...

When our colonial New Zealand fore-fathers introduced possums to New Zealand, they had no idea of the terrible impact that possums would have on the delicate natural balance of the native New Zealand eco-system.
