Introducing our New Treasure Collection...

So, you're heard for some time now that I was working on a new collection for Minky Minx, and over the past few months I've teased you with a few sneak peaks here and there... Well, it's about time that I officially  release it, hey...?? So here it is - my new 'Treasure Collection'... 

Full of pretty, vintage inspired treasures for weddings and other special occasions, this collection comprises of hair accessories and jewellery for little ladies of all ages - yes, babies to teens - and even a few things for Mum too!

Available soon in our Madeit store and at Kids Style Hub - and perhaps a few other places - here is a sample from this stunning new range...

What's your favourite?

Can you believe it's already been One Year...??

WOW! Where has the time gone!! Is it just me or has it been a 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' kind of year??

I know for me this has certainly been the case. One thing after another thing has happened (including plenty of things I really wish hadn't...!) that my brain had barely time to realise how quickly time was slipping by...

So much so that, the first anniversary of Kids Style Hub was here before I knew it...  I certainly can't believe that it's now been over a year that I've been selling through this fantastic store! It most definitely has been one amazing ride...

Anyway, as a little token of appreciation for the amazingly talented lady behind it all, Nicole Herrick, and of course, to celebrate this exciting milestone, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to introduce to you a few of the many new names (and their gorgeous products) that have since joined me there...

So, you coming??

Yeap. We're having another massive garage sale (and I really do mean MASSIVE!). Didn't exactly plan to, but after the success of last years and after an extensive clean out of my studio, we have decided it's time to have another. Plus, it's about time my parents down-sized...

So, here's your chance to find yourself a bargain from a whole bunch of garage sale treasures - including a heap of fabrics, patterns and other sewing & craft supplies from my studio - before they get listed in my Craftumi store.

PLUS, I'll be setting up my new look Minky Minx stall and reducing everything by up to 50% off the RRP  to make room for new stock!!

Ok, so I get that you can't all come down just for the sale. I know, not all of you live in sunny Melbourne, do you? So, in view of this, I'm planning something special, just for you, in the coming weeks - so stay tuned!

P.S. Oh, In case you want to find out more about the actual garage sale, click here.

I do love Spring

Yes, I absolutely adore Spring - and I'm not at all afraid to admit it!

I love the fresh green of new leaves, the trees covered with pretty blossoms, the sound of children's laughter as they finally come out to play, the warmth of the sunlight, and so, so much more - really what isn't there to love! Yes, it's definitely my favourite time of year - but not just for these reasons... For the past 6 years I have especially loved Spring because it's the month I married my Man - in fact this weekend we celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary!!

So, to celebrate this milestone and this beautiful month, here's a few of my favourite handmade 'Spring-time Wedding' finds. Enjoy!
