Gift Fair - Part 3

  Here is our third and final post about the Gift Fair this past month. For being our first expo / professional trade fair we are quite proud of our wee stand, which received some fantastic feedback. But we couldn't have done it without the help of some very important and talented people. Our stand layout was designed by the very clever Shaye Woolford from On My Hand. Shaye was fantastic in helping us layout the booth, figure out what props to use and she even hand painted our sign - what a clever cookie! These lovely images were taken by the super talented Coralee, who did an exceptional job. Our booth had the misfortune of having the overhead lights out and one very bright spotlight - so you can imagine she had her work cutout for her. Also a big thank you to Rachael from Made from Scratch for taking time out of her super busy schedule in helping man the stall and calming the nerves. And of course as mentioned before the great support and time of my partner and friends for helping me along the way! Thank you again everyone for following this journey!

Gift Fair - Part 2

Well the Gift Fair has come and gone. It was a great learning experience for our wee company! Three full days of selling your product is hard work - especially when everything you're selling is your own designs. But all the hard work has paid off and we are currently in the process of filling orders from 20 new retailers around New Zealand! We will be updating our retailers section of the website very soon with all our new stockists information but in the mean time are happy to announce that you will now be able to find us in Taupo, Hanmer Springs, Christchurch, Wanganui, Hamilton and many other locations around this beautiful country. Also coming soon to the website will be all the new designs we created in time for the Gift Fair. Including our new range of tote bags, fabric gift wrap, invitations, and some new prints and greeting cards! Thanks everyone for your amazing support along the way, On My Hand for the styling, and stay tuned for some professional photographs by the super talented Coralee and a wonderful blog post by the lovely Made From Scratch coming soon! x

Holiday Gift Find - Flora Waycott Design

Can you believe the holiday season is only six weeks away? Being in the sales industry we started designing for the holiday season back in June / July but it's amazing how time flys and it's finally here! Last week when I was in Wellington at Craft2.0 I finally got to see the beautiful products by Flora Waycott Design in person!  Her array of textiles and prints are even more vibrant in person and would make beautiful gifts for your family and friends this holiday season.  All her items are screen printed and either printed on fabric or paper - making them nice and light for mailing! You can find a full range of her products and list of stockists on her site or go directly to her Etsy shop to see more of her beautiful products. Hope you're all having a fantastic week and enjoy Flora's products as much as I do! x

Well who can believe that November is already here and there are only two more months in 2012?!  Where did the year go? I hope you all have had a lovely, sunny week - it's sure been a busy one here at Toodles Noodles HQ getting ready for Craft2.0 and The City Market in Wellington this weekend and filling orders along the way. Not to mention, have you seen the reveal of our amazing styled photo shoot in collaboration with the extremely talented All the Frills, Made from Scratch and Coralee from Coralee & Alex? We'll do our own post soon but in the mean time scoot on over to MFS to see her lovely posts! Hope you all have a fantastic weekend and if you're in the Wellington area, we do hope that you pop in to either market and say hello! x 1. These beautiful wedding invitations are designed across the pond in Sydney by Rebecca McGrath and are ready for you to just print - how perfect is that! 2.
