NIGHT MARKET...

*summer sale*...TONIGHT ONLY!!!!!

Come on out for....

>>>>15% off all summer stock (cotton/sun hats)<<<<

>>>>10% off all other hats<<<<

Little Lamb Carriers!!!

Introducing the newest item in stock!!

These Little Lamb baby carriers are a traditional Mei Tai style carrier, suitable for babies from infant to +3 years of age (35+ lbs!!)

The prototype was initially created out of necessity on my part, as I new with a third bean on the way (and only two hands) I would need help wrangling with my kids, AND even better than a mother's sanity, is the fact that close contact with a baby and its care-giver is proven to have so many benefits!!

So, I researched the different types of carriers and saw what people were wearing and talked to many friends about their preferences...

and this style carrier seemed to be the best fit for me! it was cost-effective (scraps from my material pile) and would be able to be used for a long period of time (+35 lbs!) AND it is SUPER easy to put on by yourself - with no fancy buckles or snaps or adjustable straps!!

Since then, I have worn my carrier out countless times and have had people comment on it, so I thought I'd give it a try selling them...I sourced out sturdy, durable, washable and FUNKY material and went at it!!

This carrier fits almost ANY shape and size without any form of adjusting!! It has wide, padded straps and is reversible to suit whatever mood you may be in!! AND if all those benefits where not enough, once your little bean get big enough and wants to observe something other than your loving gazes, this carrier can be worn on the SIDE and on your BACK like a back pack!!

Here are some pictures of carriers that have already been sold...and the word on the street is these are MORE comfortable (and way more cost-effective) than the previously mentioned carrier!!! *gasp!!*










And here is the only carrier left in stock!! Made from 100% linen and cotton colour panels!

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions and to place an order!!

Night Market

So, we did it again! Enjoyed another great night at the Thursday Night Market...

I meant to post about our Little Lamb Carriers that are the newest addition in the Mairsy Doats list of creations...but here's a picture in the mean time!

A great picture too, might I add, because I finally had a means by which to properly display it!! Up until last week I had these suckers laid out on the table, but who can tell what it even IS when it's all folded up!?

Anyhow...thought I'd share these pics that I took...my booth is getting pretty full...!! If you are local or visiting the Sunshine Coast, please stop by and say hello!!
