A bit of this and that

The Silly Gilly emporium has been busy this week. I thought I might do a post combining all the activity into one.

New stock has now been uploaded to the Silly Gilly store. I've popped a few photos of the new items below.

I'm also a sponsor for the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt for the third year in a row. Being a sponsor means I donate a prize for the hunt and I have created a little mini-hunt on my Silly Gilly site. Anyone can go through the sponsor websites doing lots of mini-hunts and searching for clues to find the Nappy Hunt icon. Once you find enough icons you are in the running for lots of delicious prizes, including toys, cloth nappies, kids sunglasses, nappy covers, kids trikes... all sorts of wonderful things for children and parents. Have a look at how you can be in the running for all the prizes here. And here is a pic of the item I have donated for the Hunt - a Steiner inspired baby toy.

The auctions I am organising with all the fantastic donations with 100% of the profit going to the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal is coming up this Friday 7th March. I will be posting all the links and photos here on the blog. If you are thinking of donating an item to auction, there is still time!! Contact me and I can fill you in on the details.

The market yesterday was quiet but the morning out in the beautiful sunshine made it all worth while. It also led to a couple of leads about other markets so that is a bonus!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone and keep saving your pennies to bid on all the gorgeous things that will be available Friday!!

Busy bee getting ready for the Hunt!!

I've been busy this week getting organised for the upcoming Great Down Under Nappy Hunt, which starts tomorrow, 1st September. I'm one of the sponsors of the hunt and have provided the library bag shown below as a prize which is in the Grand Prize #1 draw.

The hunt is a great opportunity to win some fabulous prizes, not only cloth nappies but other things like bags ala Silly Gilly, shoes, toys, children's clothing, all delicious!! Click on the button below and you'll be able to find out all about registering for the hunt. The general gist is that you hunt through a list of online stores looking for a particular icon at each store. As you wind your way through the list, you also get to see some amazing stores and products along the way.

I've also been sewing up a storm to get my Silly Gilly store full of lurvely things for the hunters to see. Have a look at these two new smocks I've popped on today. Rain Dance, a gorgeous print with little kids in kimonos. Also, Paper Doll Princess, a retro inspired print featuring paper dolls clothes that you might remember playing with.

A wonderful parcel arrived this week too, but I'm yet to take a photo, so that shall be tomorrows post. And my other goal for tomorrow is to show you a sneak peek of my completed Doll Quilt Swap that will be wending its way to a suburb near you (well actually only to someone who hasn't received one yet.... ). Love this secret squirrel business!

And if you've read this far, a little reward.... I've been sorting my vintage childrens sewing patterns and am getting ready for a giveaway next week!! Stay tuned!!
