Melei shop launch and giveaway

Edit: this giveaway is now over, but do check out Jen's fabulous new shop!

My friend, Jen, launched her online shop this week. Melei specializes in bright, fun clothes for little princesses with coordinating accessories. Jen and I both trade at the Bondi Markets, and she's super nice. She has a keen eye for playful fabrics perfect for little girls (and sometimes boys). The Melei shop is definitely worth a look. To celebrate her launch, we're hosting a giveaway!





One winner will receive a gorgeous dress from the Melei shop.



A second winner can choose a bracelet.



To enter, visit the Melei shop and leave a comment here about your favourite items. For an extra entry, blog about her new shop with a link, and let us know that you've shared it. Jen's a good friend, so please help me get the word out about her shop.

We'll have the drawing on April 17th at 2pm Sydney time. Sometimes I wish I had a little girl to dress up. This is one of those times!

    I like the Madison Bracelet, although I only have boys it would make a great present for my neice for her birthday being she is quite a glammor queen for a 3yr old.

    I hopped over and had a look earlier it looks like a good set-up. I love the blythe doll in the banner.I really liked the babushkas bracelet. I am afraid my girl is a bit big for all those lovely things.

    what can I say? They are all adorable and the fabric is beautiful! I'm a huge fan of Alexander Henry's Mocca, so that's my fave. However, I would personally wear any of the bracelets.

    Hi Amy,

    Thanks for sharing this Australian designer with us. I love the Morning Glory fabric, but haven't bought anything like the Willow dress yet.

    For us non-locals, are there any other designers you can share with us?

    Supporting aussie craft!

    Hi, I'm leaving a comment all the way from Perth! I happened to see all the Melei gear at the Bondi markets three weeks ago when I was in Sydney for a weekend away with hubby. I have to say my favourites are the Natalie skirt and the Parker bracelet. (btw- I'm so happy I've found you - now I can get my market fix at my Mac!)
