Upgrades

I've finally bitten the bullet and decided to open a real online shop to replace the poppet in the post blog.
It's still called Poppet in the Post but the difference is you can use Paypal to pay for purchases immediately online.
I have 5 products up at the moment and will slowly be adding more and more each day. I am interested to see how the initial trial works, so go ahead and give it a go.
I am still more than happy to take over the phone orders or EFT payments like before.

here is the link - Poppet in the Post (new and improved)

I loved Kaleidoscopes when I was a little girl (and they still fascinate me now)

Genius...

When I saw this fantastically simple new invention 'Little Extensions' I couldn't believe that no one had ever thought of it before. Franca Caradonna, a Melbourne girl, and the brains behind this practical invention has spent several years developing the product and sorting out world-wide patents.

So simple to use, simply clip to the bottom of a onesie suit to extend the body length and get an extra few weeks/months of wear out of a favorite garment. Made out of cotton/Lycra so will comfortably stretch with body movement and wash easily
Fits most Australian and US brand suits.
Pack contains 3 pieces (small, medium and large) assorted colours logo print
Price $16.50 + $1 postage
