She makes me laugh...

My daughter lily is my little model for tippietoes and i was trying to get her to pose for some new items i got in and some of my headbands but she had other things on her mind...like vegie sandwiches... she makes me laugh every day (as does my 2.5 year old with his singing!!) and it makes me thankful to have this little business where i get to see moments like these.... i hope they make you smile too :)

i know my little princess is hiding in there somewhere....maybe tomorrow :)

Mr and Mrs HomeOwner

Just had to do a quick update as today was a huge day for my little family.. we became homeowners! We are so excited to have found a new little place to call our own! My 2 year back log of real living magazine will now be put to good use!! (i LOVE that magazine!!)

I also visited kids in style today and met some lovely and talented people and am very excited to be bringing you some gorgeous creations over the coming months i think you will love! I know i fell in love several times over... some of the products were too cute to resist and are a great fit with the tippietoes brand....stay tuned!!

Holly Hobbie is also coming to visit very soon, i received my gorgeous parcel from Twiglet today and can't wait to get them up for you to see :)

Another special thanks to Elizabeth at La Toriana for stocking tippietoes enchanted tutu and pink lace singlet, her willingness to share her wealth and knowledge has been greatly appreciated!

I have just put up a few more one offs after the success of the Mum's Grapevine mail out...this is a great service for all you mums... i was probably the last one to know about it..they send email alerts every week on sales of everything to do with baby... great! I do love shopping!!

Well back to celebrating my new 25 year relationship with the bank!!

A huge thank you to Elizabeth who has been so very sweet and helpful over the last month since we first came in contact. It has been a fast and hectic learning curve for me and i am excited to be starting my TAFE classes next week to get me up to speed with patterns and finishes etc so i can create some vintage inspired pieces to offer you all :)

The enchanted tutu and purity white tutu are exclusive to Elizabeth at the moment so be sure to grab one. They will bu up on http://www.tippietoes.net.au/ in the not to distant future... a lot of love and time goes into these handmade pieces so i can't pump them out that fast :)

My daughter Lily turns one in a few weeks so i am going to be busy organising her little butterfly party and her uncle (who has never met her) return home from the UK which we are all excited about.

I am currently putting together all my ideas for a summer 08/09 collection.... i love summer clothes so much more than winter!! And i am also sourcing some extra special pieces for the site from around the globe.... the US dollar is making life very difficult!

Am a little tired after staying up to watch a little piece of history last night and can say i am glad we don't have anything like the world's longest marching band parade over here! Oh boy there had to be 5000 marching bands...who knew marching was so popular....excuse me while i dozzzzzzzzzzzz offffffff.

TippieToes Petite Couture

Well my first blog, i figure it will be like most things and get better with time and practice!

I have started this blog as part of my new adventure into the world of children's wear and owning and operating my own small business (with the help of my beautiful family).

This is something very different for me, after having two children Ty 2 and half and Lily 8 months, i decided i wanted to stay at home with the kids for as long as possible and to do this i needed to be able to work from home, so i combined my love of vintage pieces, arts and crafts and finding a bargain and turned them into www.tippietoes.net.au which aims to bring the very best of all things handmade, gorgeous and unique to you on one site.

I am very excited about the wonderful stock i have found and thank all my talented suppliers. It has taken a long time to get to this point but i really think you will like it, hopefully we will be up and running by the end of November.

I also look forward to launching my own line of clothes in the near future.

Thanks for looking and i will check in again shortly :)
