For the Rellies (Relatives)
Grotti Lotti
Australian artist Casey Manson has released a gorgeous new calendar for 2019. This is the perfect gift idea this Christmas this year as Grotti Lotti has now made her calendars into size A3 (I have last years A4 calendar and it is ah-mazing!)
Not only do you get a nifty looking calendar but you get 12 prints aswell! The only problem is waiting for the month to finish so you can rip that baby off and pop it in a frame.
And just look at the gorgeous art you could have in your home by the end of the year. Be quick though, these calendars sell out fast!!


Corner Block Studio
Do you have a messy chef in the family? I do and it’s me! This book frame is super handy at keeping my books grease free while I cook. The Book Frame is designed to display a variety of books, from a big, hardback coffee table book to a thin magazine. It’s easy to adjust, just slide the top timber channel up and down the cotton cord to secure your book. Corner Block Studio also sells a range of other wooden hangers for records & prints.
Use discount code ‘HECTIC’ to get 20% off the book frame. Corner Block Studio also ships internationally! Order before 18 Dec to ensure Christmas delivery.
