Planning for 2012

How exciting we are busily writing our application for the Niche Market in 2012. We really hope to secure a spot this year after visiting and seeing such a wonderful assortment of fabulous ware and very talented people we are pumped and ready to go for 2012. We just have to be accepted soooooo fingers crossed and toes.

We have decided to take with us our Little Rabbits, Our Tamar Valley kids and Ragdolls as well as our brand new range of cute Animals we haven't even had a chance to place these on our Facebook page yet and they only made a small debute at the Exeter Market so we are super excited about the next market in December.

We will keep you posted about the Niche Market.

Huge couple of months at Tamar Valley Kids

We are super busy at Tamar Valley Kids at the moment. We were at The New Exeter Market on Sunday which turned out to be a very cold and wet day. This Sunday we will be at the Deviot Seasonal Market and we are really looking forward to it. I hope you can stop on by and say Hi.

Our next market date is The Exeter Market again in November this market is a little different with it held on the Monday of a long weekend. I hope it will be a wonderful day with lots of sunshine and customers.

Our last market for the year is on Sunday the 4th of December make sure you bring lots of money to do your Christmas shopping with. 

And of course if you can not make it to any of our markets then you can always shop online at our Madeit store or Facebook.  

The love of Dolls

When I was growing up my favourite doll was a Cabbage Patch kid her name is Regina. I say is because she is still close by.

I can't remember why I received her most likely a birthday but I can still remember the first time I saw her in her box, I must have been around 6-7 years old. Those were the days when children appreciated a toy and did not always expect to get what they wanted. That magic is some times  lost amongst children these days with our immense desire to provide our children with everything that we never had. Amongst all that we have created children with no genuine love for the items they have. I know my children will want something and once they get it they play for a while maybe a month or two and then it gets shoved in the cupboard or under the bed to be forgotten about because they now want something else.

When I was 8 my Mother and Father decided to sell everything pack up our van with all our essential belongings and move our family to my mothers birth state Tasmania. Regina travelled with me from Adelaide to Tasmania. She went every where, slept with me every night and was loved not just for a few months but a life time.

After growing older and marrying, Regina stayed with me in hopes that I could pass her on to my daughter. After my 4th son was born I knew Regina was not going to be staying in our family so she was given to a very dear friend of mine who has 5 Grand daughters much better idea I thought than her living in a box gathering dust. It was only the other day I was visiting when I saw Regina again sitting happily on the bed just as she had when she was mine and so glad she is still loved.

Tamar Valley Kids are all created with this love in mind love and memories that will stay with them for the rest of there lives and not discarded after a few months.

Oh my Golly Gosh

We had a great day out at The New Exeter Market and were lucky enough to launch our Golly Range which were a huge hit with lots finding new homes. Tomas and Suzie came for a ride home with me and are now for sale on our Made it store.

Tamar Valley Kids are now on the hunt for local stockist of our Gollys, Ragdolls and large dolls and hopefully will soon be announcing a stockist.

We are now busily preparing for our next Market at Exeter and then possibly another the following week after that. Soon to be announced location.

Selected dolls are currently on sale on our Madeit store so please stop by and take a look.

Re-Launch of our Made it Store

Very exciting news that we are now re-launching our Madeit store and will be offering all our dolls as a sneak peak to our Facebook likers for 1 week before they are place in the store for sale. This gives all our fans first dibs on all our dolls. 5 dolls will appear at a time each fortnight starting from Monday the following Monday they will leave our Facebook page if they have not already found homes and will be placed for sale on Madeit. We are also very excited that we are now advertising on Madeit starting next week we are hoping that advertising is going to bring lots of new people to our Facebook page and shoppers to buy our dolls.    

Our First Market

And what a Market it was The New Exeter Market was far more than I expected so many people stopping by and the quality of stall holders was remarkable not to mention the smooth running of the days events thanks to Allie and crew.

The dolls had a great day out and can't wait for the next market next month with three dolls finding new homes thay are all now super excited.

We saw lots of dolls making there debut as well. Mum had even kept some a secret from me so I was meeting some for the very first time.

Looking forward to seeing more people at the next Exeter Market in September now the word has spread and they all know what to expect, lots of great high quality wares and cashed up ready to spend, spend spend.

Bye for now
