On a personal note we had another baby alpaca… a little boy and he’s all Black.  Tiana (our daughter) called him “Jack”. when I asked why she called him Jack… (thinking there must be a boy at school she liked called Jack… she is 6)  she said

“because mummy it rhymes with Black!!” and looked at me as if I should have known that…  so I just smiled and nodded.   after all… what else could I say! ??

Cooking with kids is a great way to play and teach and get kids to eat things they wouldnt normally…. actually growing veges in a vege patch is great for kids and they learn so much and want to eat what they grow!  And Anita’s cost saving tip is great…. sure extends the lefe of the garment all year round!

Wacky Wednesday at La Toriana

Published by Elizabeth under Kids and Fashion

not a lot happens on a Wednesday…

so I thought I would start sending you a few bits of news of whats happened in the last week, and give you a special treat.. wow… wacky or whatever it may be.

You may be interested to know that the 5 most looked at item in the last 7 days have been….

girls designer dress australian made

Sweet Lily from Tippie Toes Petite Couture, is a new addition and has had the most amount of hits for the week.  Simply STUNNING, crisp white cotton with a deluxe satin tie and gorgeous lace detail at the bottom, this designer girls dress that can we worn all year round.  Stylish in Summer on its own, or pop a long sleeve T underneath for the cooler months.  Priced at $48.95, there are only a few left.

large baby wrapsAlways in the La Toriana top 5 most viewed and most often in the Top 5 most purchased for the week too.  We sell so many of these Vanchi supersized baby wraps and I cannot speak highly enough of them.  Australian designed and owned company VANCHI, these supersized baby wraps are 180cm x 100 cm and so soft and functional.  With many colours to choose from for your baby girl or baby boy, many people buy these for baby gifts.  Comes packaged in an organza bag… ready for gift giving to a newborn baby.  Designer baby wrap at a rock bottom bargain price $19.95  No wonder people buy 2 or 3 at a time. Check out Vanchi’s items

Little Pearls for Little Girls Fresh Water Pearl bracelet… a brilliant present to give as a Christening present to a little girl, and is quite popular as a flower girl and bridesmaid gift.  A girl can never be too young to receive her first set of real fresh water pearls, and this fresh water pearl bracelet for little girls has been popular this week, actually for the last few months.  We have had to restock a couple times and no wonder… its Divine.  Packaged in an organza bag, and white tissue and placed in a white signature packaging… beautifully elegant and stylish and affordable.  $39.95.  perhaps you would like to give the fresh water pearl bracelet and necklace set instead… why not!  Check out all Pearls for Little Girls products.

Never before have I seen a hair clip as popular as this baby heart baby clip!  at only $4.95, a definite must to add to your order.  These little hair clips are brilliant at keeping those couple few hairs clipped without causing any uncomfortable feeling, or slipping out as many baby clips do.

Fairy Floss Creationsis by far a popular designer at La Toriana and her creations are a favourite amongst mums all over Australia and abroad.  Check out her full range.

Ever so popular have been these farm yard blocks from day 1 La Toriana opened.  Comes in a hinged display box, ready for wrapping and baby gift giving.  You know you are always buying a quality baby gift when you see its from DJECO or online at La Toriana.  Priced at $16.95 is a classic baby/toddler toy and great for gifts. see all in this category. We are not suprised to see this as a popular item viewed this week…. is extremely popular.
