Winner of the Father's Day giveaway

Congratulations to A Ballantyne. The koolaman team decided this entry was one of the most interesting. We're sending a pair of William cufflinks and a GUS cuff her way!

Thanks to everyone who participated, we had a huge response. Don't worry if you didn't win this time. There will be more giveaways coming up in the next few months.

Look out for the Spring Giveaway next month!

Have a wonderful Father's Day this weekend!

When I saw your new “hide” collection
Upon opening my email last Friday,
I got so excited and thought to myself
“I’m going to choose an awesome gift for him this Father’s Day!!”

Because year upon year it’s a struggle,
To find the perfect gift to mark special days,
And I would dearly love for my husband to open his gift
And be totally, utterly amazed!!

Just as others have mentioned about their men,
My husband works hard providing for his wife and son;
Leaving early and arriving home late,
Never ceasing until the work’s done.

And despite being sleep deprived,
He always makes time for the important things:
That special time with our son spent reading stories,
Taking walks, playing soccer, and riding the swings.

We are truly lucky if we find our true love,
And must treasure them… through thick and thin!
A beautiful gift that lasts a lifetime,
Is the perfect way to convey those feelings within.

The Gus is casual, yet elegantly refined,
Hence it would suit my husband to a ‘t’;
And as a bonus it would serve as a subtle hint,
Of how dearly I would love an Audrey :).

somewhere OVER THE RAINBOW...

Rainbows never fail to amaze me with their beauty and this week we were treated to a double rainbow  over  Koolaman. You can see the main rainbow and the second one popping out on the right. 

Here is mother nature in all her beauty with a double treat for us at Koolaman.... And to wash away the rainbows five minutes after this image was taken  the skies opened up and it rained and rained and rained..

There are some organised koolaman clients out there who have been placing their fathers day orders for our cufflinks, keyrings and pendants.   Here's a sample of what we've been busy creating. To ensure your Fathers Day order is received in time, please place your order at koolamandesigns.com.au before the 30th August.  And look out for the new cufflinks which will be launched next week, we know you're going to love them!

 

Winter Holidays @ koolaman

School holidays are over. On the last day of the holidays it rained for most of the day today and the girls and I were looking for fun things to do inside. Lulu's idea was to paint our nails, a beautician in the making.... It looks like it might have been torturous and bloody but there was far too much laughter happening while the toes were being murdered. Lulu & Belle might need a bit more practice of painting the nails and less of the toes!

We had a couple of days in Melbourne, where we went to a footy match to see Gus' beloved Hawks... Melbourne turned on the cold weather and despite our best efforts we had to duck out at three quarter time and watch the last quarter of the "best game of the year" from our hotel.

 Watching the players warm up... and getting a bit of practice in for when the Hawks score a goal....

We can highly recommend dinner at Carltons Bistro Two Dozen. A beautiful restaurant we'll visit again, next time without the kids. Not because kids aren't welcome, that's not the case at all, we arrived early and we were all waited on by the staff, all delighted to be able to help us out. No, the reason I want to go again, is to enjoy a drink in the wine room downstairs, before dinner and then be able to sit back and take my time  digesting the  delicious meal. It's situated at 180 Rathdowne street and is easy to find, I'm looking forward to another date with bistro two dozen...

Gus Lulu and Belle loved the Disneyland on Ice show...

And, don't forget Father's Day will soon be upon us... We've got some new things to show you soon but in the meantime you can admire the Henry cufflinks here.  Pop the 30th August into your diaries. This is the last date for orders to ensure delivery for Fathers Day.
