Sugar and Spice Childrens Market

I was meant to post about this a week or so ago but my son (2yrs old) and daughter (5mths) have both had the horrible viral cough and constant running nose (that is driving me crazy!) so i have been so busy.

I have also gained two stockists which is great but since the sugar and spice market that has kept me very busy!

Two weeks ago I took the lovely drive to Woodend to be apart of the 2nd Sugar and Spice Children's Market organised by the very talented Ali.

I didn't know what to expect as I have only done Markets around Melbourne so far but to my great surprise it was a fantastic day. If not better it was just as good as the markets around here.

The market was open from 10 - 2pm and for the first two hours I did not stop at all.

Ali had 100 goodie bags to give out and i think they all went in the first 20 mins.

All the customers and stallholders were lovely and the coffee and food was fantastic.

Bibs were the item of choice for the day and I almost sold out - selling about 50 bibs :o)

Dummy Clips also went down well.

All in all it was a very successful day and thank you Ali for letting me be apart of it.

I look forward to being involved with the market again in the near future.

The Market is also going to Ballarat so be sure to check out their website http://www.sugarandspicechildrensmarket.blogspot.com/

Have a great day!

Stockist Number 2!!

Very excited to let know that I have another stockist.
Check out Little Indigo - www.littleindigo.com.au
Website for handmade childrens products. Hopefully opening in November so be sure to go over and check out all the gorgeous handmade items.
At this stage they are stocking my baby bibs and dribble bibs..

Have a great day
Cheers Sam xx

Stockist Has Started!

I wanted to update this more often but I have been so busy getting things organised with a market most weeks these days.

But all is going really well and I got my first store to stock my products today. So exciting and lets hope it only keeps getting better from here.

My future goal is to spend more time with my family on the weekends so I hope to have a large number of stockists and therefore allowing me to do less markets and spend more weekends as a family.

Baby Lets Cruz is in Mt Evelyn VIC and they are kind enough to be stocking some of my baby bibs and dummy clips. Hoping they sell really well so they will be back for more in no time.

Check out their website at http://www.babyletscruz.com/ or pop in and visit them - corner Snowball Ave & Birmingham Rd, Mt Evelyn.

Cheers Sam
