Little Moos nominated for Kids Fashion Review Award

Hi everyone, it has been a looong time since my last post. I am soooo sorry, things at Little Moos have been super hectic in a fantastic way!! First of all the arrival of my 5th bundle of joy.. A baby girl Charlize Rose who is now 4 and half months old! (as pictured above) Wow where has the time gone! she is growing up so fast. We have been quiet from facebook, newsletter, blog and advertising the past few months so I can spend more family time looking after my beautiful baby girl (and other 4 kiddies) but thats not to say we haven't been super busy custom making hundreds and hundreds of flower girl outfits for weddings all around the world. Yes, thats right! our tutu sets are becoming quite the popular little outfit for flower girls. We custom make everything from colour, fabric and sized to fit. These stunning tutu sets are handmade right here in Adelaide, South Australia.

So imagine my surprise to hear we have been nominated for the Kids Fashion Review awards AGAIN after winning last year!! Wohoo I am just so over the moon I can't even begin to tell you how excited and thankful for Little Moos to be given this opportunity. A huge thank you to those whom nominated us for the KFR Style Awards!!. We are so honored to be nominated in the category - Australian Made Baby/Kids Label/Product of the Year amongst many other great Australian Made labels.

Monster Goodie Bag GIVE-AWAY

Thanks to the wonderful invention of the internet life has become very simple in many respects.
We are able to research anything our mind desires.. we can play games, pay our bills, chat to our friends on the other side of the world, and we can shop online!
We are able to purchase just about anything from the comfort of our own home, and have it delivered to our door steps.

There are many advantages to shopping online... the stores NEVER close, there is no dress code (you can go shopping in your pj's), save on rising petrol costs, no parking woes or the horrid road rage, you can escape from aggressive and/or non helpful salespeople, many rare products can be found that are not available locally and most importantly..... child friendly! Thats right, no need to plan shopping around your childrens nap time, school time or arrange a sitter. Avoid the temper tantrums from your little ones when "mummy I want this... mummy I want that.... mummy I want to go hooome"

Of course (like everything) there is the slight possibility of a bad experience occuring from shopping online. Some businesses offering free or cheap items online sometimes hike up the cost of postage so high that they profit from the purchase, or the product lacks quality, is grossly missrepresented.. nothing like described or photographed. They can arrive late... or sometimes not at all.

These unfortunate experiences do NOT happen often and to show you this Little Moos, Kids in Australia and many other WAHM Businesses have got together to show you we are committed to Excellence in Customer Service, and back our quality products and workmanship.
We are very excited to bring you a fantastic competition where you can forward your on-line shopping experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly) in a survey so we can help provide you.. our wonderful customers.. with even better customer service than ever before!


Little Moos has donated 50 tutus towards The Monster Goodie Bag GIVE-AWAY organised and run by Kids in Australia

Each of the 50 Goodie Bags are filled with gift vouchers, discount vouchers, hair clips, tutus, photography gift certificates, samples and much, much more. This is one give-away you DO NO NOT WANT TO MISS!!!

For your chance to win 1 of 50 goodie bags valued at up to $500 each, simply fill in the 5 minute survey on the Kids in Australia website, telling them about your on-line shopping experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly) Its that simple...

Rainbow Gumdrops!!!

In a field of grass so green and toadstools all around

Sit down quietly and you will hear a soft magical sound

If you're quiet as a mouse they'll all come out to play

For fairies will not go by without song and dance a day

Close your eyes and you will hear the flutter of their wings

Imagine all the bright colours and happiness they bring

If only you could catch one and have her for your own

But you would know that that's not fair, she must be free to roam

And though at times they are hard to see, you must look deep inside

Imagination and belief is what keeps the fairies alive.

by Betty

I am very pleased to present to you our new line Rainbow Gumdrops.
Featuring Bright Colourful products bursting with FUN!!
Tutu Dresses, Korker Bows, Woven Headbands, Hair Bows, Embellished Fairy Wings and Big Gorgeous Flowers on Crochet Beanie Hats.

Our NEW STYLE SUPER FULL EXTRA FLUFFY PETTISKIRT!!!

A WHOPPING 50 yards (45 metres) of soft nylon chiffon in 3 luxurious layers.

One lovely and very excited Bride-to-be purchased this skirt for her little flowergirl and this is what she has to say about it..... "The super full pettiskirt looks as though it should be framed... and displayed in a museum as something a style icon wore as a child!!"

This lovely bride re-named the Super Fluffy Pettiskirt to "The MASTERPIECE" in her words "i feel it's a little insulting calling it anything but!! Congratulations on your talent as a designer. You are truly gifted with an obvious passion and dedication to your work which is a credit to you and to the service you provide."

So there you have it, The MASTERPIECE is born.

The Fluffiest Pettiskirt on the Market!!
