Melbourne 'tea bag' by Reaburn Design (Westgate Bridge!? Oh yeah THERE's a landmark...)
I'm sure you all know how much of a devoted fan I am of my hometown. So when Glenda from Reaburn Design came by our studio with some lovely totes that she'd been making from vintage teatowels, I laid claim to the Melbourne one straight away!

Reaburn doesn't have a website yet, but she does have a pop-up shop appearing in Kensington as of 2nd January I think! I'll blog about that properly when I have her flyer in front of me :)
Oh and whilst we're in the kitchen, I couldn't resist taking a photo of one of my favourite things - my Measuring Ducks!!
I bought these measuring ducks in an arcade in Kyoto - for only 350 yen! I so so so wish I'd bought more sets. I can't find them again anywhere. They're actually just modern reproductions of an original antique item, which I know some people are lucky enough to have as a hand-me-down.
Hope you're all having a great xmas break. Mine is going far too quickly...

Love your measuring ducks! And it's funny, I often wish I bought more things in Japan when I saw them. You can never get them anywhere else.
The ducks!!
loving that gorgeous bag and the ducks, too. my local CWA has an original set in their front window - as well as a 'not for sale' sign, unfortunately :(
oooh I have the same ducks !
Those ducks are so cute, I love ducks!

ohh I love that "tea bag". I picked up an original set of those geese on ebay the other week. One side is a lot yellower than the other. I can tell the original owner had them on a window sill!
I do love your white ones!
Those colours are divine and the designs are so so retro - what's not to love!
The ducks are fantastic. I want some!
The bag is fantastic! I love that the World Trade Centre was enough of a highlight to make it to a tea towel.
Not only do we share the same name but the same ducks too! I got mine from genki (not such an exciting trip)
Lara .D
i saw those ducks selling at Anthropologie, for something like 5x what you paid! looks like they are making a comeback!
happy new year to you!
I have the ducks too - slightly less yellow on the beaks though. Well worn from lots of use. My mum got them from Avon in the early 1990s.
lara, check out this ebay seller - they are selling the ducks/geese! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/VINTAGE-SET-OF-THREE-BAKELITE-GOOSE-MEASURING-CUPS_W0QQitemZ170427389784QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20100104?IMSfp=TL1001042010001r5708
