Little Chubby Cheeks
Little Chubby Cheeks received a rush order last week to become our latest new stockist.
If you are in the area and need to fill your Santa stocking Little Chubby Cheeks have some great ribbon headbands, ribbon pretties and felt clips among other great Flirty Bird accessories.
What a whoppa poppa!
I think it is about time to have a competition!
I haven't had one in a while and it isn't as much fun when I don't have one running.
I have been brainstorming now for a while and have decided to giveaway 2 prizes!
The first is a drawing comp for the little ones....
Simply have your child, niece, nephew or grandchild draw a bird called Flirty - scan it and send it to hello@flirtybird.com.au with their name, age, contact email and address in case they are the lucky winner! If you don't have a scanner you can send it directly to me.
Winner of the drawing competition will win a $50 gift voucher to spend in store.
Winner will be chosen by me!
________________________________The second competition is to invite a friend to follow my blog or become a fan on facebook, because everything is more fun with a friend!
All you need to do to win the second $50 voucher is invite a friend (or two or three!) that is not currently a follower or a fan. Once they follow this blog or become a fan on facebook simply leave their name as a comment here on or the facebook page. Make sure that I have some way to contact you if you win (or make sure you check back to claim your prize if you do not have a way for me to notify you.)
Winner will be drawn at random.
Both prizes will be drawn on the 1st February 2010, winners will be posted here and on facebook.
Finland
A rather large parcel will be on its way to Finland in the next few days and I am very happy to announce that this parcel will be delivered to our new distributor. Pirjo is opening a shop in March 2010 and has taken on the distributor role for her country. If you are in the area and interested in talking to Pirjo, please email so I can forward it on.
Welcome Pirjo to the Flirty Bird team!
5 Little Monkeys
Popular South Australian online shop 5 little Monkeys has Flirty bird accessories flying to them right now. Flirty Bird has been selling so well that they have added some jumbo ponytail holders and headbands to their collection just in time for Christmas.
Pop over to do some Christmas shopping, it will be well worth it with up to 50% off current summer styles.
The Paper Is Sweet...
Some of you might remember my pretty customer Penny. Since Penny's mum, Veronica, purchased her first accessories from me a while back now we have chatted quite often via email.
Veronica talked about a passion for creating things with paper and how she would like to start a business that allowed her to pursue that passion.....
I am happy to say that she took the plunge and is in the process of setting up the paper sweet which will launch early 2010.
Yesterday I arrived home to to a lovely parcel from Veronica and have to say, keep an eye out for Veronica's products, they are a true delight. I took some shots of them to show you....
Aren't my pressie's going to look super special this year!!
Thank You Veronica...
First Pigtails!
Scarlett wore pigtails for the fist time today and I just had to get photos of this momentous occasion!
(Please ignore the fact that they are boring old elastics and not Flirty Bird accessories!! This will come now that I know that she is happy to leave them in...)
She walks around feeling so important and loves the fuss that we all make, even Fletcher was calling her a pretty girl.
Your Baby Can Have Style!
Babys Got Style has been selling my ribbon pretties like hot cakes! Another bunch of red pretties are on their way to the team at Babys Got Style to re-stock their jam packed shelves.

Flirty Bird Stand
Very very excited to finally have some accessory stands made for my Indonesia Retailers. It has been a very long process but between some design work here in Australia and some construction work in Singapore through my distributor, they have finally arrived for her to send them off to Jakarta.
It is a bird cage and I love it, I would love to see another photo of one full of goodies!!
Happy Friday everyone....

Clips Ahoy!
I have a lovely group of fans on facebook that get so excited at the words - baby clip - I have never really offered a huge range of these purely due to lack of time. I have a few in the shop right now but they have nearly sold out so I have been working on quite a few to give little bubbies with fine hair lots of options too!Working on the new range has been so exciting. I now have more time to enjoy creating new
products thanks to my new website which has allowed me to finally feel organised for the first time since starting Flirty Bird.
Whilst organising some of my photos I came across a photo of one of my first baby clips (a smaller version of the popular button clips in the shop now) The good news that they inspired me and will be available again very soon!
(Little Scarlett couldn't even sit up, time goes too quickly!)
Girl Power
One of our stockists, Belle's and Whistles Boutique is having a 4 day sale just for girls.
Be quick to snap up savings on brands like Itch and Let Them Eat Cake.
I couldn't resist I bought Scarlett an Itch T Shirt that I have been adoring for ages!
Christmas range instore now!
What a productive day I have had today. I am happy to say that the Christmas range is available right now! To make it easy to find all designs on the one page all you need to do is seach 'christmas' and waaa laaaa they will magically appear before your eyes!
I am happy to say that the Christmas baubles that where offered last year are back to make gift wrapping easy. All you need to add one to your order put the accessories in and hanging it on the tree. Your little one will squeal with delight when they see the goodies hanging from the tree!
