New Arrivals from the LilliBean Studio

market stall set up of LilliBean Designs at the June 2026 Handmade Canberra Market

There is a stage after the markets, when the studio becomes quieter.

The boxes have been packed, the tables and displays are back in storage, the endless supply of red frogs have mysteriously dried up.

And the new products that travelled with me to Melbourne, Canberra and finally home to Cowra, are finally ready to find homes online.

After months of creating behind the scenes, I’m so excited that these new collections are finally available online.

Last week you met the Tarot Queens, a collection of paintings inspired by my daily tarot practice.

This week I would like to introduce to you two new collections – one that was a surprise even to me and one which has been brewing for a long time now.

Hand-Painted Notebooks

One of my favourite surprises from this market season was rediscovering a forgotten box of blank notebooks tucked away in the studio.

Originally they were destined for a completely different project that never quite happened.

Instead, they became tiny canvases.

Each notebook has been painted by hand and transformed into a small piece of original art that just happens to hold your shopping lists, dreams, sketches, journal entries or brilliant middle-of-the-night ideas.

There are three collections to explore:

handpainted mini notebooks for the markets

The Secret Garden: inspired by secret landscapes, flowers, leaves, wandering garden paths and nature’s quiet beauty.

The Whimsy Girls: soulful feminine portraits celebrating creativity, courage, intuition and self-love.

Moon & Magic: moons, stars, sacred hearts, crystals and little glimpses of the magical world that often finds its way into my paintings.

No two notebooks are ever the same.

Whimsical Colouring Packs

The final collection is something I’ve wanted to create for a very long time.

These colouring packs were incredibly popular at the markets and are already almost sold out.

Printed on beautiful premium watercolour paper, they’re designed to handle almost anything you throw at them: watercolours, coloured pencils, markers, acrylic markers, collage.

Whatever creative mood inspires.

Inside you’ll find six original LilliBean illustrations ready to become your own.

Whether you spend twenty quiet minutes colouring with a cup of tea beside you or turn them into mixed-media artworks, my hope is that they become an invitation to simply play.

Because creativity doesn’t always have to be complicated. Sometimes it just begins with colouring in.

Thank you, as always, for supporting my little studio.

Whether you’ve visited me at a market, collected a painting, shared my work with a friend, read my blog, or simply opened this email today, I truly appreciate you being part of the LilliBean community.

I hope one of these new collections finds its way into your home and reminds you to make time for creativity, beauty and a little everyday whimsy.

Until next time,

From my whimsy world to yours.
