Life is a roller coaster..

Stop the ride.. my husband and i need to get off!!! that is what it has felt like the past 12 weeks (funny...Cohen is 12 weeks this week..mmmm) although the lack of new items on the web site may suggest otherwise.. i have been so busy sewing for the markets.. so i hope you can all come to the mathildas first time in paddigton on sat 6th march.. will be fun:)

I have also been trying to get my head aroung the number of "petite couture" labels popping up all over the place.. my husband believed he coined the phrase 2 years ago over a glass of red.. i think it was the french somehow:)) So i have been racking my brain about whether or not to keep going.. if so how do i stand alone from the crowd... new products etc etc.. all ther while at home with the kids...then i received a lovely email from a beautiful customer that made my day and my decision.... i will do the very best i can to be different and unique and accept that sometimes things get tough and ugly but i will will listen to the words of a wise old women.. oprah.. if she were here she would say.. stay true to your self girlfriend... or is that marcia heines???

Anyway enough inner soul searching... there is a baptism and 2 year old's party to organise in 24 hours....ahhh....stop the ride.... or pass me the bottle... sorry oprah!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone :) Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year!

Was great to get away, even if it did rain the WHOLE time we were away~!! Got to catch up with family and friends which is always nice :)

This year i am gearing up to do a bit more design and a lot more one offs, having the 3 under 3 and a half has left me with precious little time and i have to be realistic.. i will do the very best i can to keep my little creations coming, however i am on the hunt for some more gorgeous designers to bring to you in the new year..some cute additions hopefully arriving this week from some new suppliers.

More for the mums this year too!

Anyway just a quick one to let you know where we are at.. i have changed the face book page, so you will need to update here.

Thanks again for all your well wishes with our latest and final addition :) Cohen is going really well and adjusting to the hectic lifestyle like a little trooper :)

plus 1 makes 5 :)

Well i am so pleased to be FINALLY home for good after going back to the maternity ward with mastitis for 3 days (NEVER thought i would be a patient there again!!) and pleased to announce the birth of baby Cohen Stewart Vazey, born 19th Nov at 9.20am weighing 8 pound 11 ounces.

What a gorgeous new addition to the family.. the kids have taken a shine to him already and so have mum and dad, since he eats and sleeps all day and not much else at the moment :)

I am hoping to post a few bits and pieces in the coming weeks and finish off some custom orders for some VERY patient loyal customers :) Cant wait for next year where i will hit the markets.. old and new and develop my first full range for the next summer.

I will have free shipping in the month of December for all members and those who join the newsletter via the website by the end of the week.. i will email everyone the code over the weekend as a MERRY XMAS from TIPPIE TOES along with some more sale items.

Thanks for all the well wishes.. we couldn't be more pleased....... now hubby............................... OFF TO THE DR!!!

Thula Thula SWAP meet

I was recently involved in a designer "swap" arrangement started by the lovely Naomi at Thula Thula .. the idea was for us all to place an item up to swap with another designer so we could share the love... what a GREAT idea. Having loved her designs i was quick to snap up Naomi's nautical top for my little girl in exchange for a crochet sleeve top for her little girl. We were both very happy with the exchange :).. It was like xmas!!

Take at look at Naomi's designs, inspired by the 30's and 40's her peices are classic and made to perfection, the attention to detail is 2nd to none and the quality is outstanding. Grab yourself a little outfit at thula thula.. you wont be dissapointed!

It's Raining It's Pouring

Well after staying up till 2 am most mornings this week sewing i was looking forward to a gorgeous day out at the Gymea Fair markets on Sunday...mmm mother nature had different ideas!!

Mum and i had a great time chatting to all the lovely people who came up to buy and just say hello in the 3 hours trading we got in, and i just wanted to say thank you, you are all so lovely and have such kind things to say, i am so just glad you like what we are doing..makes it worth it!

The little roller skate suits were a hit and i promise i will be making them in different sizes soon..i really need to grow another set of arms.. i think that may help.. and get back on the caffeine i think!! Bubs is helping me out by not letting me sleep anyway so if i have to be up till all hours i may as well be productive!

The womens singlets also went like hot cakes and more will be available on the net soon.... after i have finished mathilda's i will post all the one offs up on the site.

Next week we are in doors...hurray for that!!!

ALSO some exciting new products arriving in store hopefully this week from NZ designers.. can't wait!.. little shirred top shown in pic.. limited stock :) I have already grabbed mine!

Mathildas Market

You are in for a treat this XMAS MATHILDA'S, as some of my favorite places to shop are all under the one roof!!

Mathilda's Market showcases and sells beautiful handcrafted and limited production baby and kids goods. Carefully handpicked stallholders bring the most divine and original clothing, accessories, homewares and toys for the little ones. Exquisite wares are lovingly made by some of Australia’s most talented crafters and designers – many of them parents themselves. It’s a shopper’s heaven for those who want to stylishly dress their children or decorate their kids’ home environment, but don’t want to buy mass produced, chain store items. At Mathilda’s Market you’ll see the funkiest and most gorgeous of outfits for the kids, chic bedroom decorations and furnishings, bright and brilliant toys, must-have accessories, pretty and practical bags and shoes, dreamy vintage-inspired creations, handcrafted musical instruments and jewellery, fabulous dress-up costumes, striking linen ... and so much more!

COME VISIT TIPPIETOES for lots of ONE OFF ORIGINALS and great MARKET SPECIALS~! Would love to see you!!
Sunday 1st Nov 9am -1pm Don't miss out!

Market Dates

Just a quick update.. Summer Launch went really well.. we sold out of a lot of items in the first few days due to overwhelming popularity and are now re stocking!

Tippie Toes will have a stall at the Gymea Village Fair on Sunday 25th October down Gymea Bay Rd, if you are in the area come and see us.. lots of one off originals from Tippie Toes as well as items from the Site on sale.. bedding will be at COST price or below. Lots of little roller skate suits by tippie toes in vintage styles as well (as pictured )

This is one of your last chances to grab a tippie toes design for a little while as we welcome the latest and FINAL addition to our growing family in mid November :) I am really excited to meet this little one who seems to have been a little neglected this pregnancy.. 3rd time just can't seem to generate the same level of excitement at every kick and movement!! but as the day grows closer we are getting ready for chaos :)
