Little Aussie Friends tableware released
Ashdene have just released the Little Aussie Friends series of tableware featuring my illustrations of baby Australian animals. The products in this collection include fine bone china mugs, trays, tea bag holders, coasters and tote bags.
The series launched at the AGHA Melbourne Gift Fair earlier this month and the response from buyers has been incredibly positive. The illustration series features six Australian baby animals including a kangaroo, kookaburra, koala, echidna, platypus and wombat surrounded by sepia drawings of native flora.
If you are interested in purchasing the tableware you can search for them online or contact the Ashdene sales department to find an Ashdene distributor near you. If you have a wholesale enquiry the sales department is the place to enquire about that as well.
I’m hoping these illustrations will be reimagined as craft fabrics in the near future. The fabric design drafts have had a great response in the craft community.
If you are interested in updates on the fabric or other work please sign up to my newsletter or follow my Facebook page.
Hi Elise, I was wondering if I could place a large order of you little Aussie friends collection in the fabrics. One each of the panels of each animal and three meters of each of the printed fabrics. Please email me to discuss a price total and what is possible please! Cheers

Hi Emily,
Thanks for getting in touch 🙂 Unfortunately I’m not able to order them in the quantities that would allow me to offer quantity discounts.. I am starting a mailing list for people interested in larger quantities/wholesale if you’d like to join that? I hope to then get enough interest to confidently make a large order and get it supplied at a better price. Here’s a link to the sign up form: https://elisemartinson.us2.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d0d8d7292715e0cc2f041adf3&id=4ad6238567
For larger orders I might be able to reduce the shipping price a little depending on the destination postcode 🙂
I hope that helps!
Kind regards,
Elise

Hi Elise, I had purchased your beautiful echidna mug although it has sadly been dropped and it smashed. I would LOVE to replace it. Do you know if I would be able to purchase it anywhere? When I go online it has been changed.
Thanks

Hi Carina,
Unfortunately these mugs are out of print. You might be able to find them online on sites such as eBay searching for “Little Aussie Friends Mug, Ashdene, Echidna” or similar. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
