Market Season!

I must apologise for my lack of blog entries of late. Much work has been going on behind the scenes, preparing for our first market of the season. Last week's www.christmasfestballarat.com.au was a fantastic event and I'm really proud to say that 16feathers was glad to be a part of it! The atomosphere was wonderful, with many people turning out in the glorious sunshine. Lots of matching gift sets were popular, as well as our expanding range of hair accessories. I have so many new sets and photos to share, it's hard to know where to start! Of course the lovely Jo O'Kelly from 'Capture By Jo O'Kelly" has once again dedicated her precious time and expertise into preparing all the shots you're about to see. So if you need a talented photographer, someone who can capture your precious family moments and create everlasting memories, in a very relaxed and afforable way, Jo is your lady.

Thanks so much Jo for fitting '16feathers' into your busy schedule!

Collaborate For A Cause!

I'm so thrilled to share the project 'Collaborate for a Cause'  that I have been working on over the last week. The aim of 'Collaborate for a Cause' is to promote friendship, understanding and fun throughout the Facebook community, while raising money for causes you are passionate about. Together with three other businesses that make handmade products, we have been working on items that tie in together with the products that we make. The end result is a collection of products that will be auctioned off and the money raised will be presented to a charity of our choice. Ours being "Sewing Mummy- sewing for premature and sick newborns". Such a dear cause that is close to my heart, having a premmy and very unwell baby myself only 10 months ago. Thank goodness 'our little angel' was such a little fighter and was cared for so well by those amazing staff that work around the clock at our hospitals in this country. Although it seemed like a lifetime at the time, it wasn't too long before she came home and was given a full bill of health around 6 months of age. 


So basically we would like to spread the word of this amazing cause and hope you take a look at the amazing products that are up for auction. You are guaranteed some beautiful handmade products and many due to the nature of the cause are 'one offs', plus all money raised will be donated to charity. The auction starts Friday the 26th July and ends Sunday 31st July 8pm. 


Here are our items that 'our team' has come up with: (Team includes "Little me things to love", "Miss Milly-Ella Hair Accessories", "Kristie Jayne" Stationary and "16feathers").

New Bibs and Burp Cloths to Share!

It's been a while since I shared more bib and burp cloth designs so here they are. Lately I've been mixing it up and using navy terry towelling on the back of the bibs and even tried a pink and yellow farm animals for the flannel on the back of the burp cloths instead of white. For more styles and their spiels please check my previous posts!
