***Fantastic News****

After two weeks of almost unimaginable disbelief and a torrent of mixed emotions I would like to share my wonderful news. It was a real concern two weeks ago that my melanoma had shifted into my spinal cord and into my brain. BUT- yes there is a but!!

They have given me the ‘all clear’

"Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love, to work, to play,

and to look up at the stars."

 Henry Van Dyke

To my family, to Sharon who has been my rock and who has been picking up all the pieces I have dropped (believe me there were a lot), to my work mates, to my wonderful friends and to those amazing customers (some of you who may have noticed I wasn’t my usual cheery self at times) who have shared in this journey of disbelief I would just like you all to know that without your support, laughs and chats with each and everyone one of you I would not have made it through this unbelievable time.

Thank you to each and every one of you!!

Mathildas Market

We’re so excited!

On Saturday 20 February we will be showcasing our  handmade wares at Mathilda's Market. This is a fabulous niche market that offers unique, stylish and affordable baby & kids goods that are lovingly handmade or of limited production. The retailers are hand pick to ensure an exciting product range. It's a kid's shopping heaven. Better yet, most of the retailers do not have a shop front, so you know you'll find something special, not available anywhere else.

Please come and see our stand at Mathilda’s Market from 9am to 4pm at the Brisbane Racecourse at Eagle Farm, Ascot. Entry and parking is free.

With almost 80 retailers, gourmet food, plenty of kids entertainment Mathilda’s Market is becoming one of Brisbane’s best shopping destinations for the little ones.

We look forward to seeing you there!
