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....

Mini Lala Photo Update

Carli of Mini La La was nice enough to send me some more photo's of Ivie and her brother Nick (yes he loves Flirty Bird too!) wearing their new accessories, I just had to share some of them as they are so cute!

I am sure Nick will appreciate this when it is blown up for his 21st Birthday!

This is my favourite... such a cutie

Little Diva

Yet another lovely label that sent me clothes for my photo shoot. Little Diva has beautiful bright fabrics, and a flawless finish not to mention the very reasonable prices.

My favourite at the moment......

I love the bright colours and the matching buttons, too cute!

I was so excited that Christine had matching outfits to some of my accessories, so all you need to do is pop over to Little Diva for a dress then come back to Flirty Bird and match the hair accessories - Too easy!

One for Scarlett

I started making hair accessories ultimately for Scarlett. It wasn't to create a business, it was more of a hobby - something to do when my 15month old and newborn where sleeping to just relax as I am not much of a day napper but needed to re-charge. It only turned into a business when lovely little children's boutiques and gift shops started contacting me that I had to think seriously about turning into something more.

Anyway, it was to fill Scarlett's accessory box with great hair accessories to match every outfit, these days she barely gets anything. I start a new design and think Scarlett will look great in this and then it sells out before I put any aside for her (What sort of a mother am I?)

But today I set aside a little bit of time for her. I had found a small piece of fabric that I bought many moons ago just for her and decided that she deserved a new trinket for her box.

Aren't they scrumptious? I think so! There are about 4 more that go with the set but I still need to make them up. I will post another photo when they are finished.

I quickly made these little beauties up too, they are a variation of what I have in the shop.

Too cute!

Thula Thula Parcel

Naomi of Thula Thula sent me a package of clothing for my photo shoot I was so excited to get it, but it turned out to be very BAD......not in the way that you are probably thinking!

It was bad because you shouldn't send nice clothes to a shopaholic - I couldn't help myself! I bought it for Scarlett and she won't even fit it for probably 6 months AT THE VERY LEAST! Georgia, one of my lovely little models - that you will meet when I launch the photo's - put the play suit on and stepped out in front of all the parents and everyone just oohed and ahhhed! There where lots of GREAT outfits that I could have bought on the day but it had to be this play suit because you don't come across this style very often......

worn here by the very cute Maddi, Naomi's daughter.

I was proud of myself that I only bought the one item (not to mention some shoes from CLS, but that is a different story - shoes don't count!!) as I told myself that I wouldn't buy anything no matter how much I loved it!

So here is a warning....if you are trying to save money don't visit the beautiful Thula Thula Store!

Say Cheese

The time has come for a professional photo shoot to do my products justice!

I have come along way from my first photo (below). Look at the drab background, terrible placement, need I go on?

I have slowly learnt how to make my photos look more appealing but feel that I need some professional photos to help with my image. I have called on a Luvlee professional to help Flirty Bird with some environmental images.

I have been busily gathering all the necessary props, backdrops and clothing for the big day and thought I would post a little sneak peek!

The first items to arrive where fabric backdrops, I love them all so much and even though stressful it was fun to buy fabric with big prints for a change! There are still a few more to come, can't wait!

The second Parcel to come was a big bundle of the cutest shoes from cheeky little soles.

Lisa has to be one of the nicest people I have come across, even though I have never met her in person she oozes niceness from her written word. She was kind enough to offer me some of her shoes for my lovely little models to wear! Drop into her shop to see the full range (winter shoes due to be launched soon) tell her Flirty Bird sent you!

Watch out Indonesia!

I am so excited, it seems that flirty bird is feeling fit and healthy and is flying all over the world these days! First it was Dubai then New Zealand and now we are set to fly into Indonesia with a new company Mini-Me Baby, based in Sydney Mini-Me baby is taking Australian labels to children's boutiques in Indonesia. Today I am posting off headbands, toddler headbands, ponytail holders and clips. I hope Indonesia loves them as much as Australia has!

Little Styles

Keep an eye out for Little Styles a super hip children's boutique coming soon! A delivery of ponytail holders, gift sets and clips where sent out this week and will be ready for the launch very soon! I can't wait to see what lovely brands Terri has picked for her little shop - with four children she is bound to have some personal experience with children's products!

New Gift Suitcases in Store!

I am happy to announce that there are more suitcases ready for purchase..finally! A lot of people have been waiting for these so I hope everyone loves the new colours. You get to choose from pink gingham (very girly!), plain fresh white or pretty plain pink. I have added some pre-filled ones but most people like to purchase their own and add a combination of hair accessories. To make it easy I have added a deposit for a custom filled suitcase, once purchased the size and contents can be discussed and the remainder of the payment can be made.

I have saved the largest cases for Flirty Bird Hair Accessory Cases, this way your purchases won't get damaged! Super cute to leave out on a dressing table to decorate the room. I LOVE THEM! I think I am going to steal some (shhh!) for my new studio that is under construction...but more on that later!

Scarlett's Birthday

The inspiration for Flirty Bird turned one on Friday, Scarlett, my second child had a lovely day at the beach after a super dooper party the weekend before with family, friends and her very own fairy jumping castle.

I sure most have seen flashes of her on the site and here and for those that haven't here is a 1st birthday shot from her special day.

New Stockist Update

Christmas was hectic. So hectic that when it all died down and I finished the late nights of making up orders I fell sick for about a week. All is great now but I wanted to welcome some new stockists that I did not have time to blog about.
