ReplyDeleteHi Cath, Danielle and Melissa - glad you like it; so great to see new Aussie-made wallpaper designs.
Oh!! I love the elephants and monkeys. Those are the two animals I always give my nephews.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post about Bholu wallpapers - Jodie Freid is such an inspiration! I'm not 100% sure if it is blog-etiquette but I copied the whole thing to my blog and plugged Bondville too. Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteHi Alina, Bholu do a great job on their elephants and monkeys. I'm partial to their "critter" design - a wonky little bird.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathryn, thank you so much for letting me know about your post. Much appreciated, and thank you for acknowledging the source. Generally the most appreciated styles of accreditation in blogland that I've come across are either:
1. crediting the source and adding new info about the product to create a different article; or
2. crediting the source and reusing one or two sentences, with a link back to the original source to read more.
I hope that helps! Best wishes.
