Can you feel it?

I'm being forced to eat my words...I wasn't feeling terribly confident on getting much publicity after sending our Spring Summer media release out but now the tide seems to be turning. Kelley from Peppermint Mag - Australia's own independently published eco-fashion magazine - has been in touch and will be featuring our kaftan top in the next issue.

I like to think that I'm slowly getting our name out there and that our profile is rising. I've also been liaising with a couple of other publications so we'll see if anything else happens.

Slowly, slowly...

It's school holiday time and I'm not getting much done. Entertaining my two boys and organising play dates. Anne's in the same boat with her two girls. We're still in production mode getting orders out and updating our site with the new Spring Summer range.

It's hard to be patient. We're meeting Bhakti Talreja from So Ethic - a new eco-fashion retailer in Melbourne after the holiday break as well as our new business mentor. I'm looking forward to both meetings. Have also had some dealings with Peppermint Mag - the only green fashion magazine in Australia. Got the latest issue last week and find it very inspiring to up and comers like us.

And so it goes...

Day three of Life Instyle and it's been a bit quieter than the first two days. I'm happy to say we've made some good sales with new stockists coming on board from interstate and other parts of Victoria. There may be more to come before the week is out so watch this space!

We've also met some great people - Lucinda from Sleep Sanctuary, jeweller Debora De Stefanis and textile designer Thea Samios from Thea & Sami (hi guys!) and made some great contacts. Thanks also to Melbourne Editor Lou from Peppermint Magazine and our existing stockists - Sylvia from Shop Sui, Gale from The Local Shop and Rosemary from Origen - for coming to visit us at the show. It's been fun, if not a little cold.
