Mathilda's Markets

We at Mielie Moo Designs had an absolute blast at the recent Mathilda's Markets in Brisbane.  As it was our first markets, Michael and I didn't know what to expect.  We weren't sure how our nappy and nappy covers would be received by the public.  Much to our surprised we were overwhelmed by the interest and support.  Thanks to the wonderful people who purchased our products, it was fantastic to see others getting as enthused about cloth nappies as much as we do!  A massive thanks to Melissa Mielekamp from Meloo Photography for our photography and to my great mate Felicia for putting together the best ever slideshow of Mel's photos.  That was a huge hit - allowing us to explain to customers how chubby our little Amelia was and how our nappies fitted!

Even though we left the day absolutely exhausted, I couldn't wait to get back and order more fabric.  Whilst Michael went off to watch the Queensland Reds win the best game of the season, I couldn't help myself but to surf the web looking for new ideas and designs.  There are a couple of orders to fill and will be done by the end of the week and then on to new stock! 

Not only did we get to meet wonderful customers, we also got to meet some fantastic stall holders.  Other first timers to the Mathilda's Markets were Ann and Tony from 1 Puddle Lane. Ann makes the most fabulous childrens clothing.  It was surprising that some of our fabrics matched so if you are looking for a little dress to match your Mielie Moo Designs nappy cover then look no further than 1 Puddle Lane.

Jo from Lovestamp had the most gorgeous jewellery.  Oh and I was so excited to be placed next to Abbey J who makes the most stunning hair accessories for little ones.  Michael had to set me a $$$ limit to ensure I didn't buy the whole shop!  Tennille told me that the two colours of Itty Bitty Snappies I had chosen and put aside  were so popular people were offering her more money for them!!

The answer to will we be back? - "YES" you bet!  Unfortunately we will not be at the next market due to us holidaying in Thailand, but definately look out for us at the following one.  In the meantime, I am trying to get a website up and running where you can purchase directly online.  If you are after anything while this is being done, just email me and I will endeavour to get your order filled.
