magnolia square market round up....

Well that was the Magnolia Square market as a retailer hey?

What a crazy few days it was. I can't believe it is all over, considering I only had about 8 days to prepare (normally you get about 8 weeks notice), I feel that it went too quickly.

Set up was on the Wednesday, which was great, as you get to set up and take your time. I of course, was still running around like a 'blue bottomed fly'. Getting everything finished - sewing, packing, pricing and labelling, all the while expressing and feeding Lachie at the same time!

All went well though. It was a long 3 days, but I had such fun and met some great people. I was nestled between nog 'n piep and Willow Blossom. They were all such lovely girls, I missed not talking to them this morning!

All in all it was a great experience and I was really busy. I spent a lot of time talking - not only to friends who visited, but customers and other retailers. I had a great response to the range and had a few wholesale enquiries which was exciting.

Here are some pics of the stand. I know I looked small but I think the intimate setting looked cute - don't you think?

I will tell you about some more tomorrow....or maybe the next day. I have 4 days of household duties to catch up on. Apparently Mr bubble (my husband) can only do 1 thing at a time - and that was just be with the kids.... not do the dishes, the ironing, washing, and maybe wash Lucas' duty little toenails in the bath while I was away.

Back to reality!!!

 

market time......

Very busy getting ready for Magnolia Square market. It's today 10-9pm, Friday 10-5pm and Saturday 10-4pm.

Come on down and say hi! There is some lovely treats available from what I saw setting up yesterday.

Hope to see you there.....

Babyology : little bubble and tree

Last week on my way to dropping off Lucas at creche, I received a call from Katrina at babyology, saying we were 1 of her 5 favorite stands at the Mathilda's market last Sunday. 

We had a lovely little chat, and then told me she was going to feature little bubble and tree on their site. Woo hoo, this is very exciting, it's so nice to be featured on a site that I follow regularly. 

Now without blowing our own horn - babyology reviews modern and unique children's products from around the globe. It is updated daily by a band of talented writers - who are all mums themselves. Be careful though, you may just spend a little more money than expected on the great products that they uncover.

This was lovely compliment and very appreciated Katrina, thank you.

magnolia square market next week....

I am very excited to announce that we will be showing at the Magnolia Square market next week in the Malvern town hall. This is the first time that little bubble and tree will be visiting the market as a retailer, (I usually go as a very eager, cupcake eating shopper!). So make your way down to Malvern for a truly lovely shopping treat.

Click here on their blog to see all that is on offer for the weekend. The dates and times are...

Thursday 10-9pm

Friday 10-5pm

Saturday 10-4pm

So now, until then, I will be in hibernation and 'sewing like it's 1999'! - I say this because I didn't have 2 kids then - and I could sew all day and night with not a care in the world....well... I will still care for them, but, they  just might be dressed in their pj's a little longer than usual!!

gorgeous girls party invitations.....

roll up, roll up....
our gorgeous 'Pango pants' and 'dotti elephant' tee...

Roll up, roll up - the circus is coming to town! And what better way to celebrate than with a party!

We were lucky to be a part of the new children's party invitation range, available from Alannah Rose stationery.

Suzi is the designer and has the most beautifully designed stationery. These new invitations are so fun and yet classic - they are the perfect addition to planning your next celebration. Available in many themes and designs you are sure to find it hard to choose!  My fav's of course being the 'Roll up circus' window boxed invitations. 

I love the colour in these photos, taken by Pru from Little bird photography she has done an awesome job yet again to capture the fun theme of this range. Congrats also goes to Prue from Gigi & lulu for her lovely styling. 

All of these ladies have been so lovely to little bubble and tree, and I thank you very much for asking me to be a part of it. 

It has also prompted me to have Lucas' 3rd birthday party as a... you guessed it - circus theme!

I have ideas a plenty for this theme, and might just have him wearing the above photographed outfit for the special day!
