My beloved Saints!

If you're in Melbourne, you undoubtedly know all about the AFL grand final... The mighty Saints will be there after beating the Bulldogs on Friday night in a heart-stopper!

We absolutely adore St Kilda (Nicholas and Ivie have both been club members since birth), and were amongst the almost 80,000 fans at the game on Friday night (except Ivie, who was an angel for her Aunty Sare) - I just had to share some photos. How cute is Nicholas in his Saints gear?

Can't wait for Saturday!! Go Saints!!!!!!!

Mint & Lilac

Mum of 5, Fleur, is the owner of Mint and Lilac Baby Boutique - another of our gorgeous stockists.

Based in Queensland, Mint and Lilac stocks a huge and lovely range of goodies for pregnancy and baby (everything beautiful for mother and child), and is adding MiniLaLa nappies to that range.

"Having spent the best part of the last ten years either pregnant or caring for my babies, I have found I have a knack for seeking out products that not only assist in making a new mothers life easier, but also more stylish. Every item that has been chosen for Mint and Lilac is here because we believe that it is gorgeous, unique and special - something that every mother deserves!" - Fleur

Cheeks and Cherries

Cheeks and Cherries is our one and only international stockist (for the moment, anyway)!

It is a newly launched online store based in the UK. Alix has done a fantastic job so far, and her site and range is gorgeous. You can shop based on baby's age, your budget, baby shape and even by eco-credentials!

Alipants

Alipants is a cloth nappy consultancy business located in Sunbury, and covering outer-western Melbourne and the Macedon Ranges. It is a brand new business, run by Mum of two, Ali (with a little help from her lovely husband!).

You can see Ali at local markets in the region, or even arrange for Ali to visit you at home where you can touch, feel and get to know the nappies - including MiniLaLa, of course - before you buy!

Stevie

I just have to show you what a hard worker my gorgeous husband is - here he is on his day off overlocking inserts for me. Isn't he an angel!?

Don't tell him I showed you, though! He would kill me if he knew I was telling people about his sewing!

In other news, the nappy countdown is on, less than two weeks to go! Plus I have a few new things arriving very soon. Will update soon...

Hobart Stockist

Charlie's Bucket is our lovely Hobart stockist.

Counting down....

Yes, I'm officially counting down! I think it's finally safe to say that the nappies are on their way! If all goes well (I'm hoping, but it has been a bumpy road thus far!), they should be arriving in about 2 weeks!

Of course, I am terrified! Very, very excited at the same time. Here is a picture that my manufacturer sent me before the tabs and labels went on... It's really happening! I don't think I actually believed it before this!

We've also been sewing up a storm here, and have decided that all of the nappies will go online together. I'll be sending out email notifications closer to the date (to the mailing list subscribers through the website), and will update here again soon.

Please cross everything for me that all goes well! You'll get your MiniLaLa nappies soon!! HOORAY!
