Boodabubs

Boodabubs is a gorgeous on-line boutique for bubs & kids who love nature!

From climbing trees to jumping in mud puddles, Boodabubs has fun and functional clothing and accessories to cater for the most stylish kids!

Owner Shelley came from a background in the finance industry, but after looking for fun & funky clothes for her first baby boy, decided to take matters into her own hands and began designing and making them herself!

In mid 2008 the Boodabubs Boutique began to stock some other handmade labels from Australia and abroad. This means that we can become a one-stop-shop for all things bubs & kids. Keep your eye out for more exciting labels coming soon.

I'm still here!

Hi everyone. I am still here, but my baby boy has had bronchitis, so we have been spending this week in quarantine! He is now on antibiotics, so will hopefully be feeling better soon so that I can get back to writing about all the beautiful and talented people we have out there!

Little Babushka's

I think this is my favourite local find to date.

Founded in late 2008 by mums Frankie and Cessie, Little Babushka's makes and sells the most gorgeous kids clothes! Inspired by the clothes their mothers dressed them in as children in the 70's, Frankie & Cessie decided to bring back the fun & fashion from their childhood by making clothes for their own children.

Looking at all these clothes also takes me back to my childhood. My mum wasn't much of a sewer, but we did have strawberry fabric dresses and skirts and peasant tops.

Little Babushka's sells at the Perth Upmarket, Mathilda's Market and madeit.com.au. They will soon have an online store.

Check out their blog at www.littlebabushkas.wordpress.com

Their range includes beautiful peasant dresses, baggy fisherpants, capes and scarfs.

Perth Upmarket

My trip to the Perth Upmarket on Sunday was fantastic. I am in awe of all the talented people there are in our city - and our state for that matter. People came to show their wares all the way from Geraldton!

Among my favourites there on Sunday were Eco Peko, Rubber Gob & Mokoh Design.

Eko Peko has beautiful 100% organic cotton t-shirts for babies and kids and are available in sizes 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, 1 year & 2 years.

Their designs are gorgeous and have messages including "eco babies say no to plastic" and "My Dad recylces more than your Dad". I bought one for my son that says "Little Greenie".

Each t-shirt comes in a gorgeous hessian eco bag with some open pollenated, certified organic veggie seeds inside for $49.95.

Rubbergob is the brainchild of Graphic Designer & artist Rachael Barkess,

and her business partner Janine Finnie.

Based in Perth, Rubbergob produces greeting cards, printed works and paper based items.

I love their Domestic Drudgery range which includes "Big Bums",

"Fork You" and "Watchadoin".

They also have gorgeous gift tags, canvas prints and a kids range.

Mokoh Designs is based in Perth, WA and is owned by artist Trudy Baker and husband Andy. Mokoh is named after their 2 children, Molly and Koh.

All Trudy's creations are handmade with the majority of the products made from Elemental

Chlorine Free pulp sourced from sustainable, well managed forests.

Mokoh has a cute range of gift cards called "Parliament" which features the most gorgeous owls. I had to buy a large print for my son's bedroom then the lovely Trudy gave me one of her too cute Parliament Owl cutouts. I feel very privelledged as these were not for sale, but Trudy went in search of a spare one for me to take home.

Mokoh Designs also has a fantastic range of notebooks, magnets, stationary pegs and tile pendants. Their online store is coming soon!
