“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

Leanne Culy new linen hand screened tea towels

These tea towels with designs by Leanne Culy are hand screened by Leanne & are made from beautiful 100% linen. When it came to choosing the cloth for the tea towels we decided on linen because its a more contemporary take on the old fashioned linen tea towels. They are delicate looking but durable, absorbent & strong….and look like fabric art hanging in your kitchen.

Choose from 4 designs: Decorate a Cake, Pohutukawa Wreath, Robin or Sammy the Seal. Available for purchase directly through us at $32 each or $120 for a set of 4.

Tea time at Home Base Collections

Tea time at Home Base Collections is a daily ritual for us, sometimes twice daily. Frankly there is nothing like a freshly brewed cup of tea in Grandpa Macs teapot & a hot cross bun smothered in butter, or a gingernut will suffice.

Music by Brian Eno & Peter Schwain from Drawn from Life ‘Bloom’.
