Nee na nee na!! Coming through with a wild and crazy wholesale clearance of stock at Ten Sticky Fingers – www.tenstickyfingers.com.au.

Casey at TSF is preparing for the coming season, and has decided to cut to the chase with 50-80% off store-wide. Absolutely every single item in every category – winter stock and current season alike – has been slashed to go. Prices have already been marked down for you, and the sale runs while stocks last only

YOWZA! That is *hot*!

Ten Sticky Fingers delivers a perfect blend of individuality, practicality and affordablity, and brings a beautiful dash of hand-made love and Australian design flair into our lives; so while these prices are bargain basement, the quality of the products is certainly not.

Casey stocks predominately Australian owned and operated labels including Little Brown Mouse, and Heavenly Creatures , (the most gorgeous one-off clothing pieces) and Black Eyed Susie (a huge talent out of Tasmania, my wild and wonderful home state) , Wasabi Kids (a slice of Harajuku, Japan, Australian style: we have the Froggie and Mushroom Tees, and the Mushroom Swing Top. I love the Piggy Pants, too. Apparently the ears aren’t sewn down on the pants, resulting in them wiggling as bubba crawls along: too cute!!), Cinti Does Vintage (timeless class), Barbara Sansoni Designs (wonderful eco and kid friendly soft toys; we have several of these in out house, and they are truly lovely! The removable clothing is a lovely detail), Tonic (luxe bathing products), The Little Experience (great for winter rainy days!), Baby Cupcakes (baby socks in flan, sushi and cupcake form: make perfect gifts), Heavenly Creatures (beautiful quality), and Casey’s own divine vintage-inspired label which she runs with her mum, Judy, Red Thread Designs (superb felt booties and accessories, and hand-knit hats).

I promise that you will be absolutely stunned by the beauty of Ten Sticky Fingers’ product range, and completely knocked out by the prices.

Picks of the day below, and yes, those really are the right prices!! Get over there before it’s all sold out!

………………………………………………………………………………………………………

I have an imaginary daughter.

Is that weird? I know of kids who’ve had imaginary friends to talk to, and it isn’t like that; she and I have never had a conversation or anything of the kind.

But I do love to pick out clothes for her!

Even though I wouldn’t swap my little boy for anything, and despite all the funky boyswear on the market these days, I still find myself clucking over something like the Baobab horse print dress or the Mill & Mia denim pinafore. (Hey, I’m only human! Find me the woman who wouldn’t go all dotty over gorgeous bits and pieces like those!!)

Luckily for me, this week I’m indulging my fantasy-daughter-dressing to the max. Here are my pics for girlswear for the threes-and-under:

Ekidna Kids
Let’s start off with the ever-fantabulous Ekidna Kids – www.ekidnakids.com.au.

Stockists of a vast range of the best brands around, like – and keep in mind that this is just the tip of the iceberg – Smirk, Minihaha, Monday’s Child, Koby, Fish Lily and Oobi; Ekidna Kids are truly a shopping mum’s delight. Their stunning range of girlswear made my job of choosing just a few pieces to showcase extreeeemely difficult it must be said!

Ekidna Kids are even more appealing than ever at the moment too: they’re having a store-wide 25% off mega-sale to celebrate their second birthday! So hip hip hurrah for Ekidna Kids, and they certainly are jolly good fellows!

Minihaha Orient top with Sleeve Print, $36.95 $27.71
Eternal Creation Orleans Denim Ribbon Skirt, $41.95 $31.46
Vintage Kid ‘Ruby’ Shift Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Koby Spot/Jaquard Reversible Pinafore $44.95 $33.71 I love that this is reversible – effectively two gorgeous dresses in one!
Minihaha Vintage Long Sleeve Tee with Lace Print, $47.00 $26.96
Minihaha Coco Pants, $54.95 $41.21

ShopHouse
And on to the next gorgeous girlswear retailer: ShopHouse www.shophouse.com.au.

Recently ShopHouse have started stocking Mill & Mia, one of the funkiest Australian designers out there, and they always have a big range of Penny Scallan who I just love. I also love the extremely groovy IDTees, there are loads of designs all personalised with your kid’s name – what a great gift idea, if you can bear to give them away!

I think the best deal at the moment is on the Kee Ka organics range: for a limited time, buy one item and get one free! You can’t do better than that!

Make sure you look at the rest of ShopHouse while you’re there, as their accessories, decor and the like are second to none. I’m especially loving the Cocoon Couture growth charts right now.

Just to make it even more tempting to buy from ShopHouse, they’re currently offering 25% off all winter clothing and FREE Express Post on all orders  for the month of June – so buy up big with those discounts!

You’ll also receive FREE Bubble Bath when you buy any two products from the Bod or Eco.Kid until June 30. View full details here.

Mill & Mia Ruffle Sleeve Dress, $69.95 $52.46
Mill & Mia Newborn Long Sleeve Jumpsuit, $49.95 $37.46
Kee-Ka Organic T-shirt, $32.50 $26.00 AND buy one Kee-Ka item and get one free!
Mill & Mia Denim Knickerbocker, $62.95 $47.21
Penny Scallan Daisy Raincoat, $49.95 $37.46
Mill & Mia Denim Pinafore Dress, $71.95 $53.96 I LOVE this dress!

Baobab
Baobab www.baobab.com.au. Well, you’re guaranteed to know the brand already (who doesn’t? it’s developing cult status these days!), so I hardly need to tell you about the 100% cotton fabric, the beautiful seasonal colours, the distinctive graphic prints or the simply stunning detailing, do I?

But I will anyway, just because I’m such a fan.

Baobab was created by an Australian mum who wanted simple, no-fuss clothing for her daughter that still looked great. She designed her own to those ends, and I think she succeeded!

What’s even better is that Baobab currently have a knock-out sale on: 20% – 50% off a huge range of products! So get in there quick before it all goes, because you can be sure that it won’t be around for long at prices like these!

Dress horse print, now $33.60 save 20%
3/4 Length girls’ pant, now $18.90 save 30%
Peasant skirt scoobie stripe, now $32.95 save 25%
Stud tee cherry print, now $27.95 save 20%

Now, while we’re on the topic of Kids Gift List, it would take someone with unnatural willpower to refrain from browsing through the rest of their categories.

Although I could cheerfully march you through every single product over there, I’ll contain myself and just show you my favourite-ist category: wall art.

Ohhh do Kids Gift List know what they’re doing when they choose the wall art to stock!

They’ve recently started offering ‘Look At The Wall’ collages, which are handmade from a big selection of different papers (including handmade) and each collage is a little bit unique. They’re different from anything else I’ve seen around the traps, really very well priced and just so cool!

Besides those, I LOVE the quirky-yet-useful Coco Boheme Monkey blackboard sticker – what a great product! Because it’s a sticker you can move it around the place – kitchen, bedroom, playroom, treehouse – without damaging the paint! I want one!

Also don’t forget that Kids Gift List stock the ever-popular (and rightly so) Little Chipipi wall decals, an instant uplift for any kid’s room decor.

Last but not least: don’t forget that you can use the My Child magazine discount code to take 15% off everything at Kids Gift List, except for the $25 and under clothing category. (Hey, that’s already up to 70% off so you’re not losing out there! )
