celebrating style
We weren't all designed to be the same and nor should our homes, our interests or our ideas be the same. Here at Whistle + Whisper we celebrate uniqueness and individuality because these are what make life interesting.
Who doesn’t like a surprise? One of my favourite childhood birthday party games was ‘pass the parcel’, passing a parcel wrapped in multiple layers of paper from party guest to party guest until the music stopped and whoever was left holding it, removed a layer.
