Little Princesses - Wish list for Santa

I feel that this gift guide could perhaps be the easiest of all for me.

My darling Isabella is many things... A prima ballerina, fairy princess, rock star, diva, stunt woman, gymnast, acrobat and everything in between.

With this in mind here are my top 10 picks for little Princesses this year.

Tahlia Fedora Hat

cassidyscollection.com.au

RRP $30.00

I bought this hat as a birthday present but now I just love it and want to keep it for me. Sooo pretty.

Milly Tier Dress Rose

www.kaftankids.com.au

RRP $29.00

I bought a Kaftan from this beautiful shop at the markets on the weekend. You must pop over to her website and check it out!

Tiger Tribe Vintage Tin Tea Set

www.littlebooteek.com.au

RRP $34.95

A must have for every little princess.

Little Puggle Craft Boxes

www.littlepuggle.com

From ₤12.95/month + delivery

Now this is a UK company but I had to include it because I just LOVE the concept.

Little Puggle make craft packs for children. BUT they offer a subscription so you can have one puggle box delivered in the post to your child every month. The kit is all inclusive ready to just create. No extra's to buy and no excuses. This company DOES deliver to Australia from ₤11for postage. 

I haven't found an Aussie company who does this but if you find one PLEASE let me know.

Pure Poppets Natural Facepaint and Makeup

purepoppet.com.au

$9.95

My mum won a competition with this company. Since trying this product on Bella, we just can't get enough. It's fun, pretty, cheap and safe!!!

Great stocking filler too!

Lil Fairy Door

www.littlefairydoor.com

$36.00

This year my two special little nieces are getting this for Christmas for their bedroom. So pretty and imaginative. Just think about all the sweet dreams they will have after saying goodnight to the fairies.

Rosebud Collection from Kids Central

www.kidscentral.com.au

$35.00

The Rosebud Collection is wonderful. There is a Playgroup, a cafe, a florist, a playground and a village shop. Hours and hours of imaginative play to be had here. Just warning you there are small pieces though, so keep clear of babies and cheeky younger siblings.

Seedling - Make your own designer tutu

www.goodthingsforkids.com

$47.31

This is one of my most favourite brands. How happy was I when they came up with this little activity.

Disney Movies

Your local Kmart/BigW will stock these titles. From $25 each

Christmas can be full on for little ones, so it's nice to have a quiet activity to put on to calm everyone and allow some R & R.

Cinderella is the latest movie out of the Disney Vault and Tinkerbell - The Secret of the Wings has just been released on DVD just in time for Christmas.

My Little Table Designs - Tablecloth of course

www.facebook.com/mylittletable

$35

I just thought I'd squeeze this one in on the end. Great for Tea Parties with friends or just with your mummy and dolly.

I hope you find this helpful. Please email me if you need more information on any of the above.

The next post with be for the boys.

Competition Time - Are you ready to reminisce?

My typical Tuesday so far:

• Kids up way to early ✓
• Gym  ✓
• Kids in bed for day sleep ✓
• Time to clean the house or right my blog... hmmmm blog wins hands down!

As a big thank you for supporting me at my very first market day I thought I would run a little competition and give away a couple of lovely little tablecloths to you very special people.

BUT to be creative I had to come up with a twist of course... Don't worry it's not hard.

All you have to do is tell me your favourite childhood game or activity that you loved to play when you were teeny tiny. Was it schools and tea parties like me or were you more the cops and robbers type?

You can comment here on this blog or on my facebook page.

Competition starts now and will end on Sunday night 25th November at 8:30pm Sydney time.

I will choose 2 winners. one using random.org and the other for most creative response.

Happy reminiscing everyone.

Market Day = Success

So yesterday I did it. I had my very first market stall.
I am now officially open for business. Wow that sounds a bit scary.
I am now a small business owner, operator, buyer, seller, packer, marketer and everything else that comes with being a Sole trader.

Avalon market day was a great first market for so many reasons... 1000s of people, 100s of amazing stalls, beautiful sunshine and it was located in my local community.

Check out what my stall set up looked like below. I have to say that mum and I changed it around almost every half an hour or so. We just couldn't sit still. hahahaha

I met so many lovely people and talked so much that I am losing my voice. I loved watching customers look from a far and smile when they could see what I was selling. I had so many Grandparents come by and share stories with me.

I would like to say a really big thank you and give all my friends and family bear hugs and wet and sloppy smooches for coming to support me yesterday and for all of you love and support in helping this business get up and running.

Obviously this business would not run without 2 very special people in my life so to my very delicious hubby and to my amazing mum thank you thank you thank you.

2 lessons I have learnt this weekend - 1. running a business is exhausting. 2. running my OWN business is exciting. I can't wait to see where this will take me.

I am going to run a competition next. Just have to come up with a creative twist.

one more sleep people!!!!!

Eeeeek!

One more sleep until my very very first market... my first sale... (I hope)... my first day in the public eye representing me and all that is wonderful about this little baby of a business.

I am glad hubby and I decided we are happy and done with our 2 kids because My Little Table is our 3rd child (and costs just as much!)

I have an absolutely full full full day on prepping. Nonna flew in late last night and it is Kindy day today.

Keep a look out on Facebook today as I will be posting pics of me trying to prepare hahahaha.
