A new shipment of Turkish Kilim Rugs just landed at Table Tonicand yes, they're all magnificent. So different, but each one more beautiful than the next. They come from Turkey and are handwoven from (rainbow bright!) wool on a wool or cotton base. Duh-reamy. And remember - Delivery(Australia wide) is FREE on all TT rugs! Take a squizz:
Right now across the country too many little Aussie heroes are doing it tough.
Children
are Australia’s most vulnerable and precious resource, yet right now
more than 605,000 are living in disadvantage and are unable to access
the same educational, health
or life opportunities that many of us enjoy and often take for
granted.
These
kids face many more day-to-day challenges than others and many have to
grow up too fast, quickly leaving their childhood behind. They
don't have what they need for school - missing the right school
uniform, bag and even books. They try, but fall behind, and without support, the disadvantage they experience
today is likely to continue into adulthood – and on to the next generation.
These little heroes are determined to do their best at school, but just need a little bit of help.

Our household is hooked on Smoozes. Hooked. All 4 of us worship at the alter of Smooze almost daily - the kids as a "treat" after dinner and ditto me and Mr Tonic. Oh, the irony - THEY'RE SO HEALTHY! So I am way excited to share this little fruity baby with you - the "Smooze Breakfast Buzz Smoothie". I know, right?
Using 100 per cent natural
Smooze Fruit Ice as a time-saving and healthy base, the Smooze Breakfast Buzz Smoothie (below) will save you time as you
rush to get the kids ready for school. Perfect
for when you can’t stomach a heavy breakfast, this nutritious fruit
smoothie tastes delicious and has everything you need to start your day off right (and PS the perfect solution for parents whose kids don’t feel like eating
breakfast!). SO. Let's do it.
Smooze Breakfast Buzz Smoothie(Serves 1)
1 x frozen Smooze Fruit Ice of your choice 1 x cup of either banana, peaches, berries or mango ¾ cup milk of your choice 1 x egg (optional) 1 tsp LSA
1 tsp honey
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Enjoy! PS Grab your Smooze Fruit Ice from
the dessert aisle of supermarkets (some fruit shops sell them too) in a box of 10 (rrp $6.49).

While trawling one of our nations best design blogs recently (yes, I'm talking about The Design files), I stumbled upon the incredible home of celebrated artist Michael Zavros, art curator Alison Kubler, and their kids, Phoebe (7), Olympia (5) and Leonidas (18 months). Can you guess what caught my eye?
The November issue of Lonny went live today. I don't remember flicking through any issue of Lonny as swiftly as I did with this one. I'm not sure it even took me a minute. Nothing stopped me. There was no visual "light and shade". The homes and spaces featured were... forgettable. Images and words felt... small.
