DESCRIPTION

Do you have trouble getting on the level with your Millennial-aged kids? Finding yourself completely and utterly confused by their new age slang? De-code the kids with these Millennial Slang playing cards. It'll even get you ready for clap-back next time you overhear someone suggesting lets Netflix and Chill!

In 2012, on a Central America backpacking and surfing trip, Lingo's Aussie founder Keaton White had a "light bulb" moment to migrate hand-picked Spanish phrases from a battered notebook onto the cards he played every afternoon over sunset cervezas. 

Having improved his Spanish through fun card games, he realised his idea was too good not to share. Lingo was founded in 2014 through a Kickstarter campaign and is now loved all over the world.

Whether you're planning forward for that trip when borders open, or just want to brush up on that school French, you'll love using this fun deck. Featuring the most commonly-used phrases, accompanied by easy-to-follow phonetic pronunciations, Lingo's playing cards offer a fun and easy way to learn a new language. 

All Lingo Cards decks are beautifully designed and evoke unique themes and vibes. Each deck, which contains four suits of 52 playing cards and two Jokers, is made from only premium quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity. 

Dimensions: 1.8 X 6.5 X 9 (cm)

This is not just a piece of furniture but an investment piece you'll be proud of. Think about it this piece of furniture was made 50 years ago, the year the Sydney Opera House was opened and it still looks stunning.

Vintage, yet contemporary with clean lines. It will bring a charm to any older home or a new build lacking in soul, texture and warmth.

Admire the Aussie craftsmanship of 1973. Squishy, comfy and great looking, this soft seducer is a sister piece to the Nore Archibald armchair that features as a permanent fixture in Melbourne's NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) in Black. Ahh, but do they have the tan leather 2-seater lounge??? 

Made from striking Australian eucalyptus hardwood & premium/thick Howe leather when the latter was still produced and finished in Australia.

The lounge is of incredible quality, and is genuinely rare to find in this now fashionable sumptuous tan colour.

The two seats are actually separate, allowing easy repositioning as well as multifunctionality to your space whether it be a home, study, office or grooovy corporate reception area.

Norman Archibald is a furniture designer active ca.1973 developing furniture for Nore Furniture Pty Ltd, Bayswater, Victoria.

Howe Leather still exists. In 1997 it repositioned itself as an automotive leather supplier producing state-of-the-art car seat leather for the industry for manufacturers all around the world.

Composition: Leather/Eucalyptus wood 

For a private appointment to inspect the Nore Archibald 2 seater sofa please call Lidia on 0404 893 180. A one-seater is also available for serious collectors to complete the set.

About Wanda Surf Life Saving Club

The Wanda Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1946 by a group of returned servicemen. The colours of Army Red, Air Force Blue and Navy Blue were adopted as the club colours. Since this time Wanda has grown from its original founding members to its current membership of over 1200 male and female members. 

Wanda Surf Life Saving Club runs Nippers and inclusive Nippers in the September to December season training thousands of potential future lifesavers for our beaches.

Help this Surf Life Saving Club earn donations well into the future. Clubbies Prints donate $5 for each print sold and, if the club offers an inclusive (special needs) Nippers Program Fora Studios will match that $5 donation!

How do I frame my Clubbies Print?

Team up your Clubbies hand screen print with a Corner Block Studio sustainable Australian hardwood Pressi hanging frame. Fora Studios commissioned Queensland's Corner Block Studios to make a custom-size frame, especially for the Clubbies Prints size.

The Pressi frame allows you to admire the quality of the paper and the screen print technique without a reflective cover. Either mount directly onto the wall for a flush contemporary look or with an additional cotton string for that old-school charm.

Pressi frames are available online or in our Jannali store.

or 

If you prefer a traditionally framed print have it professionally framed or for an economical alternative, simply purchase an IKEA Ribba Frame for the perfect fit.

Note: Prints will be delivered rolled up in a tube.

I am overseas. Can you ship it to me?

We 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

Imagine the satisfaction of toting a sophisticated, premium-quality leather bag and saying, “I made this myself.” Or giving a self-stitched leather piece as a truly personal gift. 

Perhaps you're looking at crafts for Mother's Day gifts but your young-at-heart mum is not quite ready to start crochet. Your partner, wife or mum will love making it herself or won't quite believe it when you tell her you made it with love for her. 

J Tanner's shoulder bag is a truly personal birthday, thank you, or Mother's Day gift and was designed to bring classic flair to a modern lifestyle. With an adjustable leather shoulder strap, classic brass metal hardware, one large compartment for storing your goods, and a quick access pouch on the back (perfect as a small cardholder, or for slim documents), this shoulder bag is built for life on the go.

Choose between a luscious brown or go for the purity of the Fora Studios exclusive Natural vegetable-tanned leather option.

The simple, minimal aesthetic of the designs shows off the quality of the vegetable-tanned leather. And your brilliant handiwork, of course.

J Tanner  DeConstructed kits contain all you need, along with easy-to-follow video guides, for successful leathercrafting, no matter your skill level.

Dimensions: 17cm x 19cm x 6cm
Difficulty: Medium
Crafting time: approx 7 - 9 hours
