Empire Lane Giveaway

I love doing giveaways on Monday - such a fun, positive way to start the week. Today I want to introduce you to Empire Lane, a quirky collection of uber stylish nursery pieces designed and created by Nicole Chapman. A Melbourne lifestyle journalist, Nicole started Empire Lane while pregnant with her first child, when she struggled to find affordable decor that reflected her eclectic style.

I wish Empire Lane had been around when my girls were babies, I would've snapped up one of her gorgeous mobiles - from elephants to monsters, spots to paisley, there's something for everyone. Her change mat covers are brilliant too - designed in a range of fabrics to fit most standard change mats. Pop over to the online shop to see the whole range. 90% of the collection is under $50, and they offer free shipping in Australia.

We are very happy to be able to offer you the chance to win this delightful "Sweet Heart" handmade baby mobile valued at $49.95. To enter you must 'like' both Cush & Nooks and Empire Lane on Facebook. Leave a comment, either here on the blog, or on the Cush & Nooks Facebook page, to let me know you've entered, stating your full name and your thoughts on the range.

The BYO Coffee Cup

What better way to start my week but to be sitting out in the glorious sun at my favourite cafe, Milk & Honey, across the road from the beach. My girlfriend & were perusing the latest Homestyle magazine while sipping our coffee and catching up on the weekend activity - life's hard, I know! And to top that, I got to try out my new BYO coffee cup from Hookturn Industries for the first time.

It's a cool looking silicone coffee cup that you can re-use again and again. I'm all for looking after this glorious planet of ours, and this is one more way to help reduce the landfill mass. It's perfect for filling up at home and taking with you on those busy mornings. And I'll definitely be getting Milk & Honey to make my latté in it, so I can sip it leisurely at the kid's favourite park over the road. I chose mine in my Scandi colours of black & white, but there are all kinds of different colour combinations, and it's available in an 8oz or 12oz size. It's lovely and tactile to hold with it's grooved body, and cool to the touch while still keeping your coffee piping hot - perfect!

Luckily for you, Hookturn is giving all my lovely readers the chance to win one of your very own. If you 'like' Hookturn Industries on Facebook you'll go in to the draw to win a 12oz BYO Coffee Cup. 'Liking' Cush & Nooks on Facebook gives you an extra chance to win. The draw will take place in a week's time - Monday 2 April - and the winner will be announced right here and on my Facebook page. So get 'liking' and good luck. xxx
