Weekly Roundup - 26 July

Hello Friday, so we meet again. This week we've kicked it up a gear with the realisation that the NZ Gift Fair is only a little over a month away! What does that mean? It means new designs and new products including 2014 calendars and Christmas designs! It's back to early starts and late nights but it's all worth it as we have some super exciting new stuff headed your way. You may have also noticed that there was a large amount of new designs added to the store this week! With the royal baby being born this week's roundup was inspired by the lucky little fella. Have a fantastic weekend everyone. I know I'm looking forward to some more sleep, a brunch date with my Mr, and hopefully going and having a nosey at Kraft Bomb.

1. Beautiful nursery art handmade by the talented Amber from Red Tile Studio.
2. Lovely, peaceful bedding available at The Land of Nod.
3. If I had a baby they'd be wearing this Halloween outfit at least a few times a year!
4. Bunny ear beanie for the win.
5. Handcrafted pyjamas available at Father Rabbit.
6. NZ focused onesie at Nature Baby - cute!
7. Adorable handmade wooden push toy from Lithuania.

Gift Fair - Part 3

  Here is our third and final post about the Gift Fair this past month. For being our first expo / professional trade fair we are quite proud of our wee stand, which received some fantastic feedback. But we couldn't have done it without the help of some very important and talented people. Our stand layout was designed by the very clever Shaye Woolford from On My Hand. Shaye was fantastic in helping us layout the booth, figure out what props to use and she even hand painted our sign - what a clever cookie! These lovely images were taken by the super talented Coralee, who did an exceptional job. Our booth had the misfortune of having the overhead lights out and one very bright spotlight - so you can imagine she had her work cutout for her. Also a big thank you to Rachael from Made from Scratch for taking time out of her super busy schedule in helping man the stall and calming the nerves. And of course as mentioned before the great support and time of my partner and friends for helping me along the way! Thank you again everyone for following this journey!

Weekly Roundup - 8 March

Hello everyone - can I get a big hip hip hooray for Friday?! What a week - we've been going non stop since....well I think the last 14 days! The Gift Fair this past week was a great success and am excited to announce that we have about 20 new retailers in cities including Hanmer Springs, Christchurch, Wellington, Auckland, and Taupo! It's so exciting to see how this company has gone from an idea back in March 2011 to a full business just 2 years later! I cannot say it enough, this all could not be possible without your constant feedback and support - so thank you all very very much! Just a couple other announcements, we are currently having a FLASH SALE on our Facebook page for all the new tote bags and fabric giftwrap! Sale ends noon, Friday NZDT so get in quick. Stock may be unlimited but the sale is so make sure to stock on up! Also, we will be back at the Ponsonby Central Carpark Market this Sunday from 10 - 3 so if you're in the neighbourhood make sure to hop on over and check it out!
