We recently came across a beautiful homewares brand based in Byron Bay. Kambamboo was born out of a simple idea - to bring the dynamic colours and rhythms in the world around us to life through printed fabric. They focus on using comfortable, durable and natural eco-friendly materials wherever possible.

We will be stocking their gorgeous range of cushions, baby blankets and tea towels. The coordinated range comes in three colour options - marigold, dahlia or blue.

We are running a give away of their beautiful cushions at the moment, click here for details.

Many of them made us laugh, and many were very deserving. But, we couldn't go past Katie from Grow. Cook. Sew.

As mothers ourselves, her entry really captured our hearts. We know how precious our babies are, so we wish her all the best for 6 months of bed rest to save hers! Katie's choice was either the yellow pinwheels or Eloise in Spring. Her winning entry is below.

Well, It will sound like I am making this up but I promise I'm not.. For the next 6 months of my life I will have to spend 24 hours a day in bed. I am not even allowed to sit up! I had a stillborn baby last year and to try and prevent it from happening again I have to be on full bed rest until I deliver in September.. Who could possibly be more deserving of some gorgeous new sheets?! I would choose the yellow pinwheels or Eloise in spring.. I can't decide because I love them all!

Katie, please email us at info@galloplifestyle.com.au with your address details and the final choice.

Thanks to everyone who entered the give away!
