MUM.

Don't forget Mum this Sunday. Lots of cards and pressies in the Emporium.

WINNER.

Using the highly sophisticated name-from-hat method, Adele's name was drawn as the winner of the Katydid first birthday prize pack. All orders in Emporium in May go into the draw for a pack of 5 assorted Katydid cards.

NEW KATYDID CARDS.

Available now in stores and online.

THE EMPORIUM IS ONE!

And to say thanks for a really super first year....

SUPER SUCKERS.

Woweee! I won't bore anyone with details on the difficulties I had last year trying to source paper straws at a reasonable price for the emporium, let's just say I did my best... but what I will tell you is that the Australasian distributors are finally bringing them into this hemisphere, meaning the straws are way more economical. Check it out! Jumbo sized boxes of 144 straws for $15 + courier. That's a hearty supply of striped loveliness for under 20 bucks! Available in red/white, blue/white, and grey/white.

Oh, P.S. : I do still have some pink/white available at the old price, and will be selling smaller and mixed quantities of my leftover stock of the red/white, blue/white on special.

WE ALWAYS KNEW IT WAS OURS.

It is official! The Pavlova was invented on the New Zealand side of the Tasman. Big thanks to the Oxford English Dictionary for substantiating what New Zealanders already knew.  I'm going to celebrate by sending the Katydid Pav card to my friends and family in 'Stralia... not that I want to rub it in.  Check out the article on Stuff if you need more evidence.
