We’re always amazed by all this creative talent out there just working away on their fashion collections, paintings and jewellery. Next time YOU should come around, too!

Dream it, buy it, flickr it
June 5th, 2008
Last night I dreamt of flying dogs and giants. An iron man was facing away from me. He murmured “…sometimes my arms bend backwards.” It was strange.
We are a little sleep deprived, but issue #2 is out and on its way to you. And here are images of projects to do from our winter issue. Join the World Sweet World Projects group on flickr and add pictures of projects of issue #1 or #2 you’ve done yourself. We’d love to see some.
Today is the launch day of World Sweet World issue #2 – we have been preparing and wrapping, delivering and posting, so go and get your issue #2: from these shops, or from our World Sweet World site.

A brand new issue!
June 4th, 2008Hello everyone,
we are happy to announce the arrival of issue #2, “Making a Fuss”. Thanks heaps to our lovely contributors out there, and special thanks to photographer Kate McPherson. Thanks for making the magazine amazing, and great to look at.
You can get issue #2 on our World Sweet World site, or from stockists all over the place. Also, you can subscribe to issue #3 – issue #6, and automatically be in to win a lamp made by ponoko.
Guess what I did last …weekend
June 3rd, 2008It involved glue and cardboard, and a project of the new issue #2 of the magazine. But saying more would be telling. We’re expecting issue #2 to come back from the printer this afternoon, and it’ll come out this Thursday, 5th June. Coinciding with this, the website and blog will be updated visually, and there’ll be some new stuff on the site: updated Hot Dates, a few sneak peek pictures of issue #2, and of course the option to buy issue #2 and to subscribe to issues #3 – #6.
See you then!
Thomas
PS Oh, and guess what we did the weekend before that! We went to the Knack Market in Berhampore, a very cute little crafty market. There’ll be another one in a couple of months, so keep your eyes peeled!

May 8th, 2008Check out all the stuff that’s going on during the Fair Trade Fortnight, from May 3rd til May 18th. The Trade Aid shops around New Zealand are raising awareness for Environmental Justice, showcasing the Junk to Green Funk pieces that people have submitted.
All Trade Aid events are centered around World Fair Trade Day on the 10th of May, which will see the Fair Trade Food Fiesta in the Wellington Trade Aid shop (86-96 Victoria Street), including baking, cooking demonstrations and tastings, and speakers, including Sue Kedgley (Green Party), and live music.
