Fabulous New Stall Holder DO RE ME and a Giveaway

Happy Easter Everyone. I trust you have all had a wonderful break.

Piccadilly Market and I have had a well deserved break with 8 days away split between Mt Buller and Phillip Island with family and friends and had huge amounts of fun.

Have been finding it hard to get my work mojo back but a giveaway always gets me in the mood.

First I would like to introduce you to a great new Stall holder that will be at the May 15th Small People Event.

Madeleine Grummett is the force behind a fabulous shop called DoReMe in Elsternwick. I believe she might just come from the same crazy land that i come from. Many fingers in many pots and many more ideas and projects always brewing. My favorite type of people. She is an ex Journalist and writer but now creates many lovely things. Instead of writing my own words, here is Madeleine's description of what DoReMe is all about.

"We take ordinary objects, ancient skills, unloved trash, new art & sculpture, treasures of yesteryear and surprising homegrown, homesewn things and give them to you on a platter – in one place, one space, with a product line you can trace. To put it simply, we have thrown the net wide to harness the creative talents of the village. We believe in product with conscience, and we make it our business to tell you the stories that breathe the life and love into the wonderful one-offs you’ll find instore. We can’t help ourselves. Creativity feeds upon itself and it just keeps growing. I think creativity is a crucial part of consciousness.

For a long time before Do Re Me the store, I simply stole moments to do rabidly creative things in between the very large task of breeding and rearing small humans"

Madeleine is being super duper generous and is offering one of my lucky readers a $100 Voucher WOW!!!!!!!to spend on her products at the May 15th Market.

Leave me a comment below telling me the best thing you did this Easter and double your chance by popping over to the DoReMe Facebook page and becoming a fan. Make sure you tell me you have done so. You have until Sunday 1st May 8pm to do so.

If you comment anonymously please pop your name in the comments so I know who you are should you be selected.

Good Luck Peeps....

my scissors, thread, strawberry hubba bubba, a dummie, my favourite red pen and my iPhone! I would be ready for any adventures then - big or small! [of course I like Little Wrap Bag on fb!]

Great to use for markets. My daughter loves a skirt with pockets - but not big enough to hold all her treasures. She'd love one of these little bags. Very cute!
I love the red canvas and the tree design.
also liking Little Wrap Bag on facebook.

Enjoy your wrap bags ladies...

Little Wrap Bag Giveaway

Nicole from Little Wrap Bag has been a stall holder at the last 2 Piccadilly Events and will be there with her awesome products at the Small People Market on the 15th of May. I bought these for my kids for Christmas last year and they love them. I also got one for myself with a clip on purse and I must say I am very fond of mine and they are great for when I am working at the Market.

Being widely embraced by boutique, independent Retailers and savvy online Shopping sites, littlewrapbags are designed, developed and manufactured by Nicole Jackson of Macedon Ranges, Victoria. The Wraps are a fun and funky version of a tradie’s toolbelt, produced in carefully selected, pre-printed and custom designed canvases and denims.

Originally born of necessity while working busy Trade Fairs, both here and abroad, Nicole has developed a range appropriate for Children aged 3 to 10 years old and another for any age over that. Both ranges are multipocketed in varying width and depths to hold, pens, pencils, notebook, order pad, phones, MP3 players, it’s really up to you! A waist tie with a double D ring fastening makes them adjustable to many shapes and sizes. The ideal way to carry all of those necessary items, while staying handsfree.

They have huge appeal to children who insist on taking toys and books to cafes, shopping and Nana’s. Finally Mum’s shoulders are spared the exploding day pack of surprises.
To compliment the range, they have pencil packs containing popular Faber Castell tri-hold eco-friendly pencils with endearing prints and a Rainbow notebook. Our mix and match Purses, with a clip-on carabena are the obvious add-on to our littlewrapbags. Sized to accommodate a credit card, cash, lip balm and the like, they may also be used as a stand alone purse clipped to a belt loop or a dog leash, for those unattractive plastic bags!

The lovely Nicole is giving you the chance to win one adult and one child wrap. All you need to know is leave a quick comment below saying what you would carry in your wrap bag and what your favorite design is. The winners will be able to choose the style they like from the site.
For extra chances to win you can like Little Wrap Bag on Facebook here and let me know in your comments. You have until Monday 8pm.

Good Luck Peeps.
