Fun in Brisvegas...

Brisbane is a beautiful place to visit. We love the weather in June, with it's subtle hints of winter. Dining alfresco in the middle of June wouldn't happen at Koolaman....but it does in Brisbane and it's absolutely delightful.

The weekend was packed with action as we exhibited koolaman designs in two locations. We were at the the ever gorgeous Mathilda's Market on Saturday morning and the busy three day Pregnancy Babies & Children's Expo at South bank Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Our able assistants Tessa, Tara and Susan helped us over the weekend. Thanks girls!

We saw some interesting things around Brisbane and here is one of them if you look carefully you'll see a  small dog in a seatbelt on the back of a motorbike......only in Brisvegas....

Here is another it's the urban pram bike the taga bike which wouldn't go well on the bumpy gravel roads at
Koolaman but wouldn't it be delightful if you were in the city and had to pop down to the shops, with the baby and toddler in tow.....

And finally a very big  thank you to everyone who popped their details in our weekend giveaway.


Congratulations to Kelly Rowling who won the TULLY bracelet in our combined Mathildas Market/Pregnancy Babies and Childrens Expo giveaway.

If you're in Canberra this Sunday, visit us at Mathilda's Market at the Hyatt Hotel 9am -1pm, we'll be exhibiting the entire silver with character colllection we'll also have another giveaway, this time with the popular  MIA pendant as worn by Johanna Griggs and Julie Goodwin.

See you in Canberra on Sunday!

Special Request - SOS

Last week at Magnolia Square in Sydney one of our customers made a special request. Her Dr has advised her to wear a medical alert necklace/bracelet or even a tattoo to notify medical personnel of her condition.

Well, our customer wasn't too keen on the tattoo idea so when she heard we were coming to Sydney for Magnolia square she asked us to customise a silver medical alert pendant on a chain for her. We stamped the details on our FINN pendants.  The first pendant was stamped with MEDICAL and the second with her condition and Dr's name and we put it on one of our new extra large ball chains.

Top left - some of the pretty at magnolia square, Johanna and Jodi (Abby's Mum) and the beautiful baby Abby, Bottom Left - Abby catching some zzzzz's in the very comfortable sleepi spaces moses basket  and the koolaman stand at magnolia square. 

Also at Magnolia Square in Sydney we met the gorgeous Johanna from Sleepi Spaces and her beautiful range of moses baskets and perfectly fitting liners. These are a must have for a new baby, come in the most divine range of colours and are very comfortable. To prove it little baby Abby tried it out. And quickly fell asleep above is a photo of the little poppet sound asleep. 

And we had lots of lovely people enter our draw for the $200 koolaman gift certificate giveaway and the winner is.... Alison Sinclair!! Thank you, we had a wonderful time at Magnolia Square in Sydney albeit very wet, but as a farmers wife and daughters of a farmer we'd be cursed if we wished the rain away...
