Mornington Market Debut & Some New Releases

Didn't mother nature put on a beautiful day for us last weekend for the Mornington Racecourse market? We had a great time spreading our cards down to the peninsula and meeting some new fans and customers - we even came across a customer who knows us from the Upwey Market... Wow, it's a crazy, small world! Our banner arrived in time and it looked perfect after some teething problems with our marquee height (I should not be trusted to put up a marquee at 7:30 on a Sunday morning!).

We sold plenty of our Seed Bombs and launched new Garden Starter Discs. Our Garden Starter discs are a circle of plantable paper sitting on top of a Jiffy Pellet and they come in a packet of two. The Jiffy Pellets are made from sustainable coconut fibres and grow to a 4-5cm biodegradable 'pot' when soaked in water. Once your seedlings are established the whole pot can be planted in your garden where it will break down into the soil. I think they would make great business cards or giveaway products for an environmentally friendly company, but they are just as good as a present or stocking stuffer (I won't start the Christmas countdown just yet, I promise) or just as a fun activity to do with the little ones. You can grow them on a sunny windowsill so they can watch them grow.

We also launched our new Fathers Day cards that grow herbs and even had some dads point them out and turn their backs for their kids to buy them... so cute!

And some new cards for parents of new babies, available in boy, girl or neutral...

Both our Fathers Day and Baby designs are now available in our Etsy & Madeit stores online.


And for everyone who has asked me at markets "Don't the seeds in the paper wreck your printer?"... Thanks for jiinxing me! I guess 200 pages of seeded paper is about the limit for a printer to handle... So until my printer gets fixed, I will not be able to print cards on demand. Therefore, if you want something I would suggest getting it sooner rather than later because I only have a few cards printed in most designs. Hopefully my printer will be back up and running soon though *fingers crossed*
