one week till stocking :)
Just thought I'd write an update in case anyone is watching :)
Boss Lady is interstate and she sent the stock via the ever lovely Shae at playgroup. Ace Ace Ace!! DP got a new camera today so hoping he will photograph it for me tonight. No more 5 hour photo shoots hopefully :)
We are seriously considering viewing the products for a few hours before the stocking next week. We love watching the OzeBaby shoppers number climb when we stock, love the support of people eager to buy what we've made, but we feel in our heart of hearts that the frenzy is not in the best interests of our customers primarily, and ourselves as well. We'd much prefer people spend their hard earned money on our made with love products once they've had a chance to consider what they can realistically use and afford and love :) Makes it more fun for everyone, even tho the electronic version of the stocktake sale at Myers does have more excitement :)
The lollypops came out a lot paler than I planned, which is pretty much par for the course when it comes to me and dye :) Tho many love pastels over brights and I am really happy with the affect so I am sure once Kate gets her hands on it my disappointment at the intensity will fade (pun haha!) rapidly :)
On a personal note, I do think I washed my last load of nappies for Audrey today *aaaaw* gush gush. She is doing pretty well on the potty, she wears a nappy overnight but it's mostly dry (which has always been the case for a long time now, she just used to get up and wee in it in that first hour or so mostly). So I have a few on the clothes horse and a few to dry and then that's it for washing any more loads I dare say ... will continue to put her in a night nappy for awhile given this is all brand new and we cosleep and I don't want to rely on her to not wake up in a puddle :) But I'll just swap out the liners each day and wash them every few days with normal laundry. So, until I have another baby, that part of our life is on the way out. Oh nappies I have loved you!! :)

Yah for Audrey - must be both a happy and sad day for you.
I love the lollipops!
I must say I'd love to see a preview. I avoid your stockings as it's just too much of a frenzy and I have no hope. My 3 cauldron purchases were all from auctions - and nobody tried to outbid me - I think they'd spent all there money already!
Yeah previewing is a great idea, also stops people from just buying because they can, and then realising they bought the wrong size etc. Of course it may create MORE of a frenzy ;). But that's okay too hehe.
Love the idea of previewing before a stocking, I know the lollipops turned out paler but they are still gorgeous:D
I would love you guys to preview! Every time I've been all excited, read the description, went to buy and then gone "What? Sold out!" It really is that quick. :)
