What's Under the City, by Sandra Watkins, is an interesting book for 9-12 years old kids who would like to discover what there is under the ground in a big city like Brisbane.

The tunnels are still here today under our feet.



Beautiful handcrafted original cards.

Christmas decorations and graceful pottery decoration to improve your house.



If you see something you like, you will keep enjoying it at home! A vase is great on a shelf, as are near-real plants and other ornaments.



Handmade is great for the environment because is local and it doesn't have to travel the mileage to get to the customer. Handmade products are often made in a room of the house or in a shed converted to a studio.



In handmade items, there is always lots of love, care and attention to detail in order to make something unique. There is quality and originality.



When you purchase something handmade, you contribute to the local economy. The money goes directly to the artists or craft people, and that gives them the opportunity to reinvest the money into their business to keep creating beautifully crafted items.



Handmade is quirky and trendy, it allows to produce new items full of originality.



Handmaking items keep the craft skills and traditions alive. Silversmithing, clay artists, glass artists, weavers and many others - the craft people help to pass the skills to the next generation and keep the art and craft alive.
