A big thank you to Parents magazine for choosing to use a Belle & Boo print dress for their December issue. Love your mag, so full of lots of sweet things.
All I want for Christmas is a trampoline! Yes, it is supposed to be for Coco. But these things bring out the big kid in us too. We, of course, have left it to the last minute to get one and have had no luck in finding one yet. Every store around here is sold out. boo hoo...I know. I have no idea what to buy her now, I hope Santa has some better ideas.
Tea Pony is closing for a couple of weeks over Christmas and re-opens on the 10th of Jan. All emails shall be replied to after that date. I really need a rest from the frenzy of the last few weeks getting orders out.
This year has been incredible for us, so many highs and lows. I couldn't have imagined that my business would become soo loved by so many of you. Thank you for all your emails, comments and friendships that I have formed with you all of the last year.
Next year is even more exciting with new collaboration pieces being added to the range which shall be unveiled before winter. Also we shall be expanding our market to include shops overseas.
Coops has been busy (to say the least) buying a computerized surfboard milling machine. By January he will have set up the business in a new premises...it's all too exciting for us. We've had way too many celebration bottles of Champagne. It's just like us Aussie's to find any excuse to celebrate. I'm so proud of him and what he has achieved this year. Don't know how we are going to work in having another baby next year seeing as though we are so busy with our work (no, not pregnant yet, shall let you know when it happens). Maybe Coco can start child labor training? Hmmmm. She's too wild to be tied down now unfortunately.
Have a wonderful New Year...Hooray for 2009, thank you for reading,
Esa

Gosh every time I read that name Coco I get a little giddy and a little sad for my Coco who most likely will not be! I'm SO envious!! :D
I've nominated your blog for an award, if you'd like to stop by and see.
