Come and see us at Mathilda's Market

Yep, we'll be there next weekend!

If you haven't heard of Mathildas Market before, it's a delightful little boutique market showcasing gorgeous handcrafted and limited production baby and children's goods. There will be over 80 stalls, so you are absolutely guaranteed to find something (or lots of things) beautiful and unique.


Come down and say hello. Steve and I will be there amongst all the gorgeous people, with lots of pretty things and some great deals for you. We'd love to see you there!

It's on Sunday 22 November (next Sunday), from 9am to 1pm at Hawthorn Town Hall, 360 Burwood Road, Hawthorn.

I wonder if I'll get a chance to do some shopping...?

Follow us and win!

Are you on Facebook or Twitter (of course you are, right?)? If you love MiniLaLa, become a fan on Facebook, or follow us on Twitter to be in the draw to win some great prizes! I'll be drawing a giveaway when each reaches 500 fans/followers, so share the love and tell your friends too!

Stickers!

I recently had some stickers made and I just love them so much that I wanted to share! (They're on boxes, ready for Mathildas Market next weekend)

Rewarding you!

I'm so blessed to have such a lovely bunch of loyal customers. I feel so grateful. I was wondering how I could make sure that my customers are being rewarded for coming back time and time again, so I had Matt (my web developer) implement a new rewards system on the site.

So from now on, when you shop at MiniLaLa, you will recieve a point for every dollar you spend. You also receive points for referring friends. You can then use these reward points on future purchases , saving you money! Pretty cool (if I do say so myself).
I love seeing customers return, and I hope this helps to show how much I appreciate you all :)

The Enchanted Closet

You may remember me posting about The Enchanted Closet a while back - well, you can now get your MiniLaLa hair clips there!

There are two lovely shops run by sisters Kate and Mia, one in Armadale (Melbourne), and one in Woodend, about an hour or so north-east of Melbourne.



I love the gorgeous vintage feel of the Enchanted Closet, and also love reading their gorgeous blog!

The Nappy Lady

Last week I took the short and sweet trip to picturesque Tecoma in Melbourne's east to meet one of our newest stockists, The Nappy Lady - AKA Justyne.

Justyne's lovely little shop is in the prettiest spot in the leafy hills. If you're in Melbourne, go out and have a look sometime.

The Nappy Lady is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am until 3pm, and Saturdays from 9am until 12pm.

MiniLaLa in print - twice!

Two beautiful magazines this month! It's so exciting to see my product in print.

Hopefully many of you have seen Peekaboo Baby Magazine. I've mentioned it before, but to see in person was gorgeous! I especially love that it is completely free.

Here's MiniLaLa - HOT apparantly


Also a gorgeous Trifle Shoppe ad at the back, featuring none other than Miss Ivie



I picked up the new copy of Little One Baby today for a read, and noticed my nappy in there - very cool (even if it does say it's a nappy cover)! If you haven't seen it already, it's a beautiful mag, and new too. This is just the second issue.


I like Cleo's style...

Alipants - Gorgeous new website has launched!

Remember my lovely Macedon Ranges stockist, Alipants? Well, Ali now has a gorgeous website which we would love for you to see


Such a lovely, personal site. It truly reflects Ali's passion and personality. I just love the mission statement! There is also some really good and simple information about using cloth nappies. Plus the nappy fact slideshow is fantastic...


I also wanted to show you a pic of the yummy zucchini bread that Ali made for one of her recent home consultations


Delicious, huh!? You can have some too - just book a consultation with Alipants.

Nicholas the photographer!

I let Nicholas 'play' with my good camera this morning. I had it set up on the tripod and arranged a table for him to style his shoot. He was very serious about it all, looking through the viewfinder and focussing. He is very particular and creative, which I love (until he throws an 'artists' tantrum).

Here are a couple from this morning's 'shoot':

There is some real talent there, wouldn't you say? Nick is quite the little stylist at the tender age of 3 :)

Babyjo Bamboo - Love it!

You probably remember me talking about Babyjo before as I recently gave a bodysuit to a friend's baby boy. I just love their gorgeous things! Bamboo is the best fibre ever - you won't believe how soft it is until you feel it!

Anyway, Babyjo has just launched a gorgeous new website at www.babyjo.com.au (also hosted by my lovely web developers, Webnovation).

To celebrate, Jo has decided to give away a FREE striped beanie (valued at $19.95) with all blanket purchases for the next two weeks! All you have to do is use the code 'LAUNCH' at checkout.

These are the best baby shower or newborn gifts, and perfect for babies with excema or sensitive skin (read about the benefits of bamboo here).

Congrats on the gorgeous new site, Jo!
