ALPERSTEIN DESIGNS | Alana Ngwarraye Holmes Tote Bag
Regular price $35.95 $35.95
“This is my country. I paint because I enjoy painting. My Mother, Edie Holmes let us paint with her when we were young and now we paint all the time. We still paint and talk together in a family group with our kids.” – Alana Holmes
Imagine carrying this beautiful tote bag and sparking inspiration and conversation everywhere you guy. You can't but love this design based on the amazing painting of Alana Holmes with its story and connection to country.
The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
Alana has painted her country after rain where the ground may seem dry but the flowers and trees are green and growing strong.
Alana's mother Edie Holmes is a well known artist of Ampilatwatja, who taught Alana how to paint when she was a young child.
Like many mums, Alana is extremely busy with four children to look after and though she loves to paint she does not get the time to paint like she used to.

THE LITTLE GROWERS | Kids' Apron in Rust
Regular price $65.95 $65.95We love The Little Growers' gorgeously cut and stitched aprons.
Join The Little Growers community of small garden grubs, to create connectivity, develop healthy habits and an understanding of the earth from a young age.
Apart from being fun for kids, the research tells us that, even more than weekend sports and activities, the more time young children kids spend growing, harvesting and understanding food, the better their health will be over their lifetime.
Your child's school or pre-school may already have a vegetable or herb garden. Why not take the leap and get them excited about growing their own at home. They may teach you something. You don't need a big backyard, just a few pots for herbs to start with, or some raised planters for vegetables on the balcony.
Depending on your council, you could grow your own on your nature strip and get your street involved. Share food scraps and compost and eventually real food from the earth where you live.
The Little Growers' aprons are machine washable and are made from a 70% linen, 30% cotton fibre blend.
Sizing best for Ages 3-7
Also available in Vege Garden Print

Many house plants may not be getting humidity from their environment. Misting your plants will replicate the humid conditions they may be used to in the outdoors (there's no such thing as an indoor plant).
Houseplants require misting in different amounts. Tropical plants such as Calatheas, Monsteras, and Begonias will probably need misting.
A dry or arid zone plant such as a cactus or a succulent will do best without misting.
