Lovin' Spoonbill

Royal spoonbill
Royal spoonbills are curious looking birds that live around freshwater wetlands. They occur around much of Australia and New Zealand as well as on some islands north of Australia. Sometimes they forage in marine habitats such as tidal mudflats.
They are voracious eaters, feeding both by day and night, looking for different prey. On the menu are shrimps and other crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic insects. They are estimated to eat around 1900 of these little creatures per day.
Sacred lotus are water plants native to the tropical north of Australia. With huge pink flowers and large pad shaped leaves, they stretch over billabongs and wetlands where they can get their roots in to the mud. If conditions are unfavourable for germination, the seeds can remain dormant in the ground for hundreds of years, waiting for better conditions to regenerate.

- Cushions listed on this page are made from polyester upholstery fabric, making them super durable in most environments and very easy to wash.

Handmade with love
Every fabric used in our cushion covers is designed by Boo at Susurrus Studio in Darwin River, located an hour south of Darwin in the hot tropics of Australia. Boo draws much of her inspiration from her bush environment, especially the birds and flora of the Top End and across Australia.
The fabrics are printed with care in Sydney. When they arrive, Boo steps away from the design table and leans into the sewing machine to hand craft each item.
