Kids in Mind Market - this Sunday

I just thought I'd quickly mention the Kids in Mind Market, which is on in Gisborne (Vic) this Sunday, October 4th, from 9am.

It's all happening in the Mannaki building Gisborne (adjacent to the Olde Time Gisborne market). Alipants will be there, showcasing MiniLaLa nappies, plus there'll be lots of other designer, new and pre-loved treasures.

The weather forecast tells me that Sunday will be a lovely spring day, so it might be worth a trip up to Gisborne, Melbournites! (I'd love to, but I'm flying to freezing Canberra in the morning!)

Beautiful Mia!

I recently sent off a gorgeous Posy doll to a very well-loved baby girl, Mia.

Mia is less than a month old, and her Aunty (who lives far away) had been searching for the perfect gift - she found it. A Posy doll namesake. Just from chatting with lovely Son, I could tell how very much she loves her new neice and it really touched me. I couldn't resist sharing with you all.

Mia is just the sweetest little thing! Here she is with her 'Mia':

Introducing... The Nursery Fairy!

A lovely little shop, located in Wagga Wagga (or just plain 'Wagga' to locals), NSW.

The Nursery Fairy is run by a lovely lady named Jennifer. It has been stocking our handmade hair clips for a few months now, and will be recieving a delivery of MiniLaLa nappies in the next few days, too!

Nappy news!

Yes, they're here! Hooray! Woohoo! Goodness gracious! Finally!!!

It has been a long week... We had a little drama with customs (just routine stuff which holds everything up), but they have arrived and will be restocked tomorrow (Wednesday) at some stage!

I will send out a newsletter once they have been stocked on the website, so please subscribe to the mailing list (via www.minilala.com.au) if you haven't already.

I will be sending out packages to our stockists today and tomorrow aswell, so be sure to check out your nearest MiniLaLa retailer too.

In the meantime, here are some more photos of our nappies... Enjoy!

Lovely Gemma

I just had to share this beautiful photo of a customer's daughter in her MiniLaLa. How gorgeous is Gemma!?

Isn't she divine!? The photo is also stunning, and courtesy of Maureen Haynes - a very talented Brisbane photographer.

I love seeing babies in their MiniLaLa!

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!
