April Market

Our April Little Me Market is done and dusted and what a great day!

Mother Nature was once again on our side with gorgeous blue sunny skies.

This market saw 50 stall holders who offered a huge range of boutique items from jewellery to soft toys, mobiles to artwork.

Lots more people came down to the gorgeous Sumsion Gardens to visit- lots of families utilizing the parks while they were there. Fairy Dee painted hundreds of little faces with all proceeds going to the Flutterby Foundation.

James Eggleston played some great music creating an awesome atmosphere and many people enjoyed a sweet treat from Plush N Lush Cupcakes, Elegantly Caked, Carlys Cupcakes and Louisa Morris Cakes.

Personally I bought a gorgeous bib and wipes case set from Little Blue Owl, a couple of bracelets from Bec's Beaded Treasures, a teething ring for my littlest me from Koo-Ki-Nuts and some special goodies just for me from Three Potato Four and of course some yummy goodies!!

Our photo gallery is now up on our website at www.littlememarket.com and if there is a photo that you would like a copy of please let me know!

Applications for our May market are coming in fast with lots and lots of local businesses applying! The call out has come for yet more boys items so we are searching as best we can!

A big thank you to all our sponsors for April including Plush N Lush Cupcakes, Pixi Foto, The Potted Cumquat, Albury/ Wodonga News Weekly, Grealy Motors, Doodlebugs, Baby Mumma and Chiropractic Wellbeing. We're now on the search for more sponsors for May!

Pixi Fotos

One of our fantastic major sponsors for April is Pixi Fotos Albury

Pixi Foto is Australian owned and locally run here in Albury. They have been photographing local families on the border for over 15 years.

Overtime they have developed some exciting products that are all hand made in their Australian Lab.

Two of their most popular products are the hand stretched canvas's which are available in a variety of sizes and

their exclusive Block Mounted finish that is unique to Pixi Foto as they are the only photography studio to offer it in Australia.

For all readers today, Pixi Foto has a wonderful special offer from the team in ALBURY only

The countdown is on

Only 2 more sleeps until our April Market!! So exciting - or for me a little stressful!!

Today with thanks to our sponsor Albury/ Wodonga News Weekly, Little Me Market has both a quarter page advertisement and an article!

Our ad features Doodlebugs (who also designed the ad), Fairy Dee, Three Potato Four and Buttonup by Mands, as well as Baby Mumma, Edufun, Plush N Lush Cupcakes, Glamour Wheat Bags, The Fabric Florist, Pixi Foto and Audrey Aggie and Me. This was an awesome opportunity so that fans of these businesses knew they would be at the market! This ad will feature twice a month in Albury/ Wodonga News Weekly (free in your mail box on fridays- extra copies also available at the market)

The article tells some of our story and has a small photo accompanying also featuring some of our stall holder products. Many thanks to those who contributed their products for the photo.

I hope you have all checked out our website - www.littlememarket.com

This markets showbags are going to be AMAZING!! There are pens, magnets, vouchers, discounts, flyers, business cards and a few lucky people will even get a free pair of earrings from Pour Mes Amis. These showbags are for 50 lucky people and are not given out until 10am so being early wont help!! (harassing me or hovering while Im setting up before 10am probably wont help either but bribes may!! lol)

The weather looks like it is set to be amazing which is great news for us! So bring the kids down, bring dad so you can buy mums mothers day present, bring the grandparents and have a browse, get some balloons and facepainting, have some lunch, listen to some music and see and buy some lovely products from small businesses from the border!

busy

Its busy busy busy at Little Me Headquarters!!

Today thanks to some lovely people and Quantum printing we got our new A3 full colour posters for displaying in shops and businesses.

We also started on printing off the flyers for letterbox drops all around Albury/ Wodonga - I have some very lovely friends who have all volunteered to pound the pavement for me!

After talks with Albury/ Wodonga News Weekly and getting costs for advertising I've sent my talanted friend Kath from Doodlebugs back to the drawing board to create a beautiful ad to go in the paper which is delivered free to over 40,000 households around Albury/ Wodonga.

I've realised its TOUGH doing things on a tight tight budget- we aim to keep stall holder fee's low AND a percentage of the stall holder fee's go straight to the Flutterby Foundation.
BUT things are EXPENSIVE!! even just to buy coloured paper to print on cost a small fortune let alone advertising in other ways!!

We're also starting to put together our infamous showbags. I was literally mobbed for these at the first market- people we desperate for one! We already have flyers, freebies from Pixi Fotos and discounts from Grealy Motors and Baby Mumma.

So all this as well as working today at Bearly Worn and trying (!!) to be a mum
Im exhausted to say the least!!
