Introducing...Chantilly Bowtique
Name: Chantelle
Store Name/Label: Chantilly Bowtique - Boutique Hair Bows & Accessories for Girly Girls
What are your hobbies (besides designing and making bows)? I love to spend time with my family and friends. I love Thai Food, going out dancing. Not that I get to go out dancing too much these days.
How did you come up with your name? is there a story behind it? I came up with the name Chantilly Bowtique because my name is Chantelle and as a child my family would to sing the Big Bopper song 'Chantilly Lace' to me. I thought is was a nice way to link back to my childhood as my products are for children.
Where do you sell your designs? I have an online store at www.ChantillyBowtique.com and a couple of other online boutiques. I am in the process of marketing my accessories in boutiques throughout Australia.
What got you started? I've always been on the lookout for different accessories for my little girl and could never find excactly what I was after. So I just thought I'd make them myself. The rest is history!
Do you remember the first bow you sold? Gosh it seems like so long ago! I know it sold on ebay but I cannot remember what it was. I'll take a guess. I bet it was definately pink!
What is your favorite design you have created? I really love my 'fruit salad' funky loopy bows. They just scream for attention. There's plenty of bright colours with polkadots, French ribbon. My daughter loves them!
Thank you so much for participating Chantelle. To ensure delivery (free within Australia) before Christmas, you will need to order your bows from Chantilly Bowtique before December 12th.

Mathilda's Market Brisbane wrap up
I've been a bit sick...and more than a bit slack with the blog recently!
We had a FANTASTIC response at the Brisbane Mathilda's Market. The crowds weren't huge, but they were spending! We were very happy with the results for our TikiBoo Kids.
I forgot my camera! There is no excuse...I have 3 of them, but I didn't even take one. I did have a chance for a quick walk around and saw some fabulous goodies.
Here are a few of my favourites from the day:
Wall Allure - Wall stickons really are the latest thing, and Bernadette makes all her own right here in Queensland. I bought some as gifts, then this adorable bird for our bedroom wall. LOVE them.
Ruffian Industries - Uber trendy retro style t-shirts for boys. YES, for boys. Mandy's designs are very cool.
Wild Things of Noosa - Selina makes the cutest little bucket hats, toys and bloomers, so cute for the little ones.
Lisa Olivers Canvases Personalised canvases for kids rooms, I particularly love this nautical lighthouse.
Heart On Your Sleeve - Tennille's beautiful handmade children's jewellery and hair accessories are perfect for little girls everywhere (I didn't buy this time as I already have lots of her goodies at home!)
If anyone has a report from the markets in the other states, I'd love to add it!
