Baby and Kids Market

Just a quick one.. i will be at the baby and kids market at Sutherland Basketball Stadium next Sunday 13th Sept 9am - 12 noon. It is a great market to pick up some bargains!! Pre loved clothing in mint condition.. some brand new with tags!!

As well as making room for bub number 3 by selling off some gorgeous wears.. i am hoping to pick up some great buys myself!! Especially toys.. my poor kids are lacking in that department!

Sneak Peak

Well it has been a little while since i have blogged... been so busy with the summer range which i am really excited about sharing with you end of Sept (and early Oct for the beautiful Ivy Designs 2009/10 summer range)... i have posted a few pics of what you can expect :)

The last couple of weeks have been a great learning curve for me, there has been tears, happiness, frustration, anger and everything in between as i continue to learn the ropes of the kids fashion industry... but coming out the other side, the thing i have learned the most is that my family is the most important thing in my life.. nothing else should even come close to getting the attention they deserve...especially as 4 grows to 5 very shortly!! How time flies when you are pregnant, emotional and uncomfortable :)

I want to thank all my lovely loyal customers who just keep on coming back for more.. i hope i can continue to supply you with unique, high quality products at affordable prices... you guys are great and your feedback, comments and emails really make my day.. so thank you!

PS that is me in the top pic...... LOL i WISH! A gorgeous sugar plum dress i will be selling in a limited edition very soon.. a lot of the lucky subscribers have already snapped theirs up early leaving only a few left!!!

"THE" Dress

Well it is fast becoming known as "the" dress.. certainly Tippie Toes BEST SELLER.

These little smock dresses have been up for one week and nearly all of them have sold out! Just a quick note to let you know i will be posting some more up this week.. seems i can't put them up fast enough :) They are very cute, so simple and affordable yet something a little different!

A staple in the summer wardrobe! Don't miss out on yours!

It's been a while...

Very slack on the blog!! It has been on my to do list for a long time now so i am up before the rest of the fam so i can finally update :)

Well since i last wrote Magnolia Square Markets has come and gone with great success, i was thrilled to be part of such a wonderful group of talented women!! My lovely neighbours included Melinda from Paperklip and Yogi from the delicious sweet dreams cakes.. these women were an inspiration and you really should check out their web sites if you are planning a party for your little one...constantly amazed at the talent and skill of these working mums!

Tippie Toes sales went really well, the feedback was great and i met so many lovely customers.. makes me want to open my own shop!! Unfortunately i wont be at the next markets as i will be about 39 weeks pregnant or have had bubs number 3! I will be at the mathildas markets in Nov though at approx 37 weeks pregnant :) Make sure to come and say hi!

The web site is really taking off so a big thank you to you all for your support.. i am continuing to source new lines for you as well as develop the tippietoes brand. If anyone knows any good boys brands be sure to let me know!

You can now find tippie toes vintage singlets at the beautiful wild things of noosa store. Lily is shown here is a tippie toes white vintage singlet (TT head dress also available in our store) and a pair of Selina's famous bloomers... made for each other don't you think :)

Magnolia Square Markets

Hey everyone,

just a very short one to say tippie toes will be at the Magnolia Sqaure Markets in Randwick this thursday, friday and sat... come say hello! I have been madly sewing so you can see some new creations! Check out the link for times and location, it should be a great markets.

It's a girl thing

I have just finished putting Lily's room together and i thought i would share some pics. We are still waiting on new carpet and shelving but it is almost there.

I love shabby chic, white looks for girls room with vintage touches. There are MANY things i would LOVE to have in her room but i was on a strict budget!

I love her belle and boo prints, her op shop dresser and little dress hanger which holds some of my fav dresses from Tea Pony, Ivy Designs, Tippietoes Petite Couture and the local op shop :). I also just love her little punk rocker doll i found down in Cronulla.. it really reminds me of Lily's personality and she adores her... i am so imaginative with the name too.. it is Dolly...mmm maybe i can come up with something else..my husband is set on Emma :)!! At the moment lily just calls her eh eh eh eh with a point of her little finger!

Her little lantern lights found in a shop in country Coonabarabran look beautiful at night and her Nan found the gorgeous bead spread in a little shop in Mudgee (she made the lady open the shop so she could get it!!) Thanks Mum!

Anyway best get back to the sewing... i am sure i will add to the room as she gets older.. there seems to be a lack of toys!! She is only 16 months and does spend more time in her brothers room with his dinasours so i guess it will do our little miss for now :)

Long Weekend Bliss

Just had to write in to share some pics of our wonderful long weekend, we took the kids down the coast to Symbio wildlife park which they loved! Lily got to feed the kangaroos and Ty almost fell over his feet trying to get away from them..funny! Then we had a pub lunch at Scarborough on top of the cliffs, followed by a day of fun and food with family. yesterday was spent cleaning and painting which was not so fun!!

I am busy sewing for the magnolia square markets which are coming up on the 2, 3 4th July.. i can't wait to have a tippietoes stall as well as shop for all those gorgeous products!!! I will put up a post with a sneak peek of my creations and all the details later this week.

Hope you all enjoyed your long weekend.. for us mum's it is nice to have an extra day of a helping hand!! ;)
