New Ponytail Holders

New ponytail holders in my little shop now!
Here is a little sneak peek...

coming soon - new combo's and clips....

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!

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!

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.

Welcome to BOLD - a new gift shop in Queensland. They are still in the process of opening the shop - stay tuned for more details.

Welcome to Creative Kids a children's boutique in Korumburra, Victoria owned by Wendi, if you are in the area i am sure she would love a visit.

A big welcome all the way to Dubai. Kyla, an Aussie living there, is setting up shop to bring Australian fashion to the lucky people of Dubai!

Last but not least! Sirocco Home wares in Sydney, NSW has added Flirty Bird to their beautiful range of furniture and accessories.

Stay tuned for more exciting stockists coming soon!
