My Summer Dress Finds – January 2022
Being a Summer lover and a sandal maker, I’m always on the lookout for summer dresses. In fact, I’m very much a ‘dress girl’ and I grew up with my Mum making beautiful dresses for me. I would go to bed listening to the hum of my Mum’s sewing machine and when I’d wake up in the morning there’d be a new dress hanging on my door knob. These days my Mum refuses to make dresses for me. She thinks I’m too extravagant and she thinks I have too many dresses. Anyhow, I need new dresses all the time to...
Valentines Galentines Day Red Gift Idea
Whether you want to spoil yourself or a loved one on Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day this year, I suggest a pair of our red sandals is probably one of the most unique “red” gifts you’ll ever give or receive. I have two different red options for you. First of all, if you prefer plain sandals then I suggest my Lisa design. They’re in a flat leather sole with a beautiful shade of red on top in stunning suede with gold hardware. If you want some bling or something a bit more extravagant then I suggest my Amanda design. They’re...
Seal Island Kayak Adventure, Perth
You might be surprised that although I’m a Sandal Maker I actually love being active and outdoorsy. And so, because our WA border is still closed, I made a bucket list of things to do for the month of January. At the top of my list was a kayak day trip to Seal Island. With my Google search I found two operators offering day trips by kayak to Seal Island and Penguin Island. I booked with Capricorn Sea Kayaking. They describe their one-day trip as a sea kayak eco adventure tour and that it certainly was. I felt like I...
Black Friday Sandal Sale
Being a small business that handmakes limited edition luxury Sandals, it’s quite rare that I run any sort of sale. However, this year as a special thank you to my loyal customers I’m offering a two-day Black Friday sale on my red, yellow and green designs. These were the hottest colours in Europe this Summer. So be quick, I have very limited batches of each design and the sale will end at midnight on Saturday 27 November. Lots of love, Cheryl xx
Buy Australian
There’s certainly been an increase in the push to “Buy Australian, “Shop Small” and “Shop Local” in the last few years. Particularly now since COVID-19 we need to support, not just small Australian businesses but all Australian businesses. We need to support them to help them survive and thrive. Whenever possible, I try my best to buy from small local producers or an Australian owned and operated company. Some of the small local businesses I try to support in my city of Perth, Western Australia are: Beach Street Design (coastal luxe fashion) Shiraz Cottesloe (cute shop stocking fashion, homewares, jewellery...
Christmas Reds
Seriously it's time to order your Sandals now if you want them for Christmas. You know I handcraft each and every pair of Sandals when you place your order so I need time to make your Sandals for you. On top of this Australia Post are swamped with deliveries and there are still fewer flights scheduled which means there are delays in shipping your order and delays in Australia Post getting it to you. So, I highly recommend you order NOW for Christmas to avoid dissappointment. Lots of love and Merry Christmas to you and yours! ...
