Little Choopie loving the Bahamian Sun

Little Choopie is now enjoying the Bahamian sun. Well not my little, Little Choopie but our gorgeous accessories are.

The lovely Tracy from Ruby and Quinn, our divine Bahamian stockist sent me some photos just recently of our Little Choopie accessories in store on her opening day.

I am thrilled to have Little Choopie stocked in the Bahamas and are definitely putting it on my list to go and visit Tracy at Ruby and Quinn. Should you be taking a holiday to the Bahamas make sure you go and visit Tracy. Ruby and Quin is located on Harbour Island at The Landing Boutique Hotel.

By the looks of the photos, Tracy has done an amazing job with Ruby and Quinn and we wish her all the luck in the world with her gorgeous new store.

Well back to day dreaming for me but if anyone heading of to the Bahamas has a little spare room in their suitcase...

A BIG FAT THANK YOU..

To my gorgeous friends over at Sticky Tiki!! A few weeks before I headed to Sydney for Magnolia Square I asked the lovely Kim from Sticky Tiki if there was any way at all possible that she could do a Little Choopie bird wall decal for me. Well she did and I think it looked just amazing sitting on my wall at Magnolia Square.


I am only sorry that we didn't get any close up's of this gorgeous little fellow. I will definitely have to take a few of this gorgeous guy in his new home, my studio.. hmm better make sure I clean it first then..

If you have a love of gorgeous wall decals make sure you go and check out Sticky Tiki. They have got everything covered from the most gorgeous children's wall decals to divine grown up wall decals. My favourite are the Whimsical Giraffes (as seen above). And Tia and the Forest Keepers oh and the dotty spotty elephants. Hmm well I have a few (they are so gorgeous you see!)

Little Choopie marveling over Magnolia Square

Wow, its been a few weeks now since we arrived home from our trip to Magnolia Square in Sydney.
To say the event was a success would be a slight understatement, it was a HUGE success!! The atmosphere and Magnolia Square community were just amazing. Every detail had been covered by the amazing organisers of the Magnolia Square event and it really was just a fabulous dream come true to be apart of it all. I can't wait to do it all again next year.

We were situated between two amazing stallholders, Koolaman and Raspberry Ripple. Being the avid fan of shopping I am, (and boy was I in shoppers paradise) I picked up a few goodies from my fellow stallholders.

From Koolman Designs I picked up two gorgeous silver personalized pendant necklaces which you can view here and here. I had the smaller one personalised with my little boy Lucca's name and the Larger pendant personalised with my husbands and I names and our wedding dates.

From Raspberry Ripple I got some gorgeous personalised porcelain accessories with our family members names on them. They look just gorgeous hanging from the tree.

Next I purchased a gorgeous bag from Sisken, the leather on this is so deliciously soft. I am in love! And I am certainly wondering how I ever did without the B.Box I purchased at Magnolia Square. I would suggest that anyone who has a baby or toddler go and get one of these amazing little cases.

So much more did I buy but I might have to share it for another time as I did a lot of Christmas shopping and it wouldn't be a surprise if I told you would it!

I would also like to thank my gorgeous friend Andrea for flying to Sydney with me to help out at Magnolia Square. I couldn't have done it without you and it meant so much to have you there. Thanks lovely xx

For now a few images of our stand at Magnolia Square.

On the 8th day of Christmas Little Choopie said to me..

Only 4 days to go

Lets see how many more Secret Santa's we can hide, they can look and see? With only four days to go, we're nearing to an end make sure you go find Little Choopie's Secret Santa before we have the chance to send (for absolutely FREE.)

Don't forget you can get 15% off all orders when you enter 'SANTA' in at the checkout. All orders over $50.00 AUD will receive a free Little Choopie gift. Promised to make you smile.

New Stockist: Princess Ratbag

When I received an email a few weeks back from Candice at Princess Ratbag asking to be a stockist of Little Choopie accessories, my heart did a few jumps for joy. I have been secretly admiring Candice's gorgeous pettiskirts for quite some time now so was overjoyed when Candice told me she would love to have them match up with her pettiskirts.

If I had a little girl I think she would just about live in these gorgeous skirts. I think she would have a different one for everyday of the week. I am not to sure my Little Choopie would appreciate me trying to put him in a pettiskirt, although I am sure he would love to snuggle up to its gorgeous soft and floaty layers.

If you have a little princess in your life then I definitely think that a little shopping trip over to Princess Ratbag is a must. Pick up some matching Little Choopie Accessories whilst your there too!!

On the 7th day of Christmas Little Choopie said to me..

Wow we're already half way there, there is a Secret Santa gift to be found just you watch and see.

Remember once you have found a Secret Santa it will be coming to you very soon. Please don't purchase another one. But by all means have fun and tell all your friends so they can have a Little Choopie Secret Santa gift too.

On the 6th day of Christmas Little Choopie said to me..

Little Choopie hearts Style Collective

I love Style Collective! Yesterday I received an email from the lovely Amanda at Style Collective with a link. Upon opening the link I found that Style Collective had written up a gorgeous feature on Little Choopie. You can read the feature here.

Marveling over MintiMoo

I wonder if there is anything that the gorgeous Andrea from Soda Pop Kids isn't good at!

This week Andrea set about launching her second business baby, MintiMoo shoes. Having just received our first pair of MintiMoo boots in the post yesterday (talk about super speedy service!) I can tell you that we are 100% hooked on what Andrea has done with these amazing little shoes.

On the MintiMoo website the shoes are described as buttery soft and I would have to agree. I have never felt children's shoes so soft before. They really are just divine. To believe it, you really do have the feel the quality of these shoes. I am so impressed.

Andrea writes this in her about us section of the MintiMoo website:
"I want MintiMoo shoes to not only stand up to everyday wear and tear, but to also look fresh, funky, colourful and fun! I want you to want to put them on your children, knowing that they not only look good, but that they are also good for your childs feet. MintiMoo: fresh, colourful, funky, fun shoes for kids!" We definitely think you have hit the nail on the head Andrea, and believe these words ring so true of Mintimoo.

Well done on your new business launch Andrea and know that we will back back soon to buy our second pair of MintiMoo shoes. (just as soon as we can decide which gorgeous pair we want!!)

Little Choopie Hearts Ministylista

Thanks again to Jen from Ministylista for hosting this last fortnights Little Choopie win a bodysuit of your choice competition.



For those of you who just new to Little Choopie and reading about this for the first time, we asked Little Choopie and Ministylista fans to come up with a new design for our t-shirts and bodysuits and a new design for Christmas.

There were some brilliant ideas coming through the Little Choopie mailbox. Some of our fans have some really fabulous imaginations but in the end it was a really tough call between two terrific ladies, Anna Codey (from cradlejam) and Kym Teale.

Both ladies came up with some really amazing design concepts that really took into consideration the current designs of Little Choopie and the new look design of the website. Anna came up with some amazing ideas involving a Hot air balloon (I really can't wait to get this design started) and Kym who absolutely adores Christmas (as do I) came up with some fabulous Little Choopie Christmas designs including our Little Choopie bird decorating his Little Choopie home.

Given, I think these ladies really took into consideration the Little Choopie design and feel I am awarding them both the main prize!! Well done girls!! I can't wait to expand on the brilliant designs you both have offered.

Thank you again for being apart of our first Ministylista and Little Choopie give-away. Do stayed tuned and check back often because we will have many other opportunities for great give aways.

I will be in contact with both Kym and Anna for their choice of bodysuit and there details.

Fun and Fizz with Soda Pop Kids

Here at Little Choopie we are very proud of our stockists and wanted to give you a little insight into how these wonderful people think with our Little Choopie fun quiz. Do go and check out there stores, they all have an amazing array of goodies in store, including some of your favourite Little Choopie products.



First cab of the rank, is the gorgeously stunning Andrea from Soda Pop Kids. Here are her answers to our quiz:

1. I love a story behind how business came up with their names, how did you come up with yours?

Well, I think a store name needs to be something fun and catchy, a name that will stand out from the crowd ... and to cut a long story short (yes, it's a very long story!), we were discussing what I could call the site and throwing names around. I said that I wanted something fun, something poppy, something fizzy ... hence Soda Pop Kids!


2. Running a business can be a stressful time, what do you love doing to unwind?

I love to read! I don't get much of a chance, but when I start a novel I just zone out. I also love taking photos, and hope to get back into that again soon.


3. What are your three favourite products in your store at the moment?

Ohh, tough question! I love the Little Lark tees. Christy has produced an amazing range this Summer, lots of organic and lots of colour. I am also in love with the gorgeous Princess Ratbag Pettiskirts, and the DINGaLING range is pretty amazing!


4. I love buying childrens book for my Little Choopie can you tell us your favourite childrens book?

We love 'Mr Pepper's Perfect Pet Shop' at the moment... who wouldn't love a baby zebracorn as a pet! Too cute!


5. If you could pack up and go on a holiday tommorow, where would you go and who would you take?

I would take my partner Dan, and go to a resort: relax on a beach, nice food, warm weather ... too tempting!


6. What are your children's fashion must haves for this summer?

For Connor, the Tommy Rocket shorts and tees are perfect, and I have just ordered Imogen some Oobi pieces from Terri at Little Styles: just gorgeous!


7. Lying on a hot beach with great book or snuggled under the covers reading a great book?

Probably snuggled under the covers with a great book

and finally

8. If you were to spend your last $20.00 at Little Choopie, what would you buy?

Those gorgeous little Ribbit Ribbit ponytail holders and the flower head wraps! Bright, colourful and fun!

Mixing it with Mini Stylista's

Last night was the first ever ministylista live chat event. The creator of this wonderful and inspiring haunt for children's and baby style asked Little Choopie to be the featured designer for the night. Incredibly honoured and chuffed we were glad to jump at the chance and lend a hand at the running of the night.

Jen (ministylista's creator) did an amazing job bringing so many wonderful people together to celebrate this first chat. Although overwhelming for some at the speed in which the chat was going (us ladies do love to chat you see) I think a great night was had by all.

Little Choopie had a marvelous treasure hunt going on during the one hour chat event and from all the emails I received in my inbox I was sure I was going to crash my system but it all stayed afloat and the treasure hunt was a huge success with a few lovelies being sent some gorgeous new snap clip sets.

Our final competition for the evening is still open and open to anyone who wants to join up at www.ministylista.com.au All you have to do is email me at info@littlechoopie.com.au what you would like to see as a new design for one of our t-shirts? and what you would like to see for a christmas design. The winner will be selected after reading the entrants next Saturday evening. That gives you a week to get you entries in!!

The winner will be able to choose from the existing designs one onesie or t-shirt (in available sizes on our site).

We don't want you to miss out so please email us, message us here or send ministylista a message to be in the running to win this great prize.

Little Choopie can't wait to get out there and introduce ourselves and our product to the rest of the world!

Roll up!! Roll up!! For the greatest circus in town..

Oh how excited was my Little Choopie and I this week when we opened up our new package from Mini Gaga. We won a little prize a week back on the Mini Gaga blog that was sponsored by the lovely ladies at Little Bubble and tree and Alannah Rose. Thank you ladies for promoting and sponsoring such a wonderful and generous prize.

Having wanted to throw a huge circus party for my Little Choopie for his first birthday but then being talked out of it by some well meaning people, I put the idea on the back burner for at least a little while. But now with our new amazing Pango Pants from Little Bubble and Tree and our equally fabulous Circus Invitations from Alannah Rose we are ready to throw a wonderful circus party for our little Lucca. I can't wait!!

If you would like to throw an amazing party, do check the invitations over at Alannah Rose, they are simply divine and would be the talking point of any party. And if you would like to go shopping for some simply fantastic and adorable children's clothing, look no further than Little Bubble and tree. I have my eye on the go fishing nacklace for little boys! CUTE!! Also if you want to hear about the latest and most exciting products on the market for the wee little ones in your life do head over to Mini gaga for some great reads and equally fabulous competitions!!

We can't wait to get started on Lucca's circus party!! (only have another 4 months to perfect the details!!)

Its Child's play

Don't you just love how little ones are so imaginative. Whether it be the lid of the blocks box, Daddy's slippers or mumma's dressing gown, my Little Choopie just loves to put it on.

A few days back when I was making some of our gorgeous head wraps for a very special customer, My Little Choopie snuck of to try one of mummies creations on... I hope you get a bit of a giggle out of it. I know we did!

Two Burnt fingers and a whole lot of fun!

I have been busy busy these last few days oohing and ahhing over some of the new fabric I just got in. After two burnt fingers (yes those hot glue guns can be quiet hot - believe it or not!) I have produced some new fun ideas now available in store . I am hoping to introduce to you a few new products over the next few days, but if your terribly eager to see them all please visit the shop where you will see all our new stock in all its lovely glory!

I am in love with these pretty little ladies.. If I was a few years younger and had some ballet shoes I would definitely be seen in these every day...

Who is Little Choopie?

Hello and welcome to my first blog, Little Choopie - Made with love.

So I bet your wondering who is this Little Choopie person and how did they come to writing this little blog.


Little Choopie is the affectionate name that I have called my baby boy, Lucca since day dot. I don't know why I did, I had never even heard of Little Choopie before but it just sounded right. Thankfully little Lucca hasn't been too confused with all these names' and will happily answer to both. (F.I: I have since googled "Little Choopie" and besides finding my own website, I have since discovered that Little Choopie is some kind of superhero - so the name is kinda fitting really!)

So your now probably wondering how a little fellah like Little Choopie goes on to having a lovely little shoppe with predominantly girlie things (think lots of pretty girls accessories and whimsical tee's)named after him. Well his mumma (yes that's me!) has always been a bit of a girlie girl. OK so maybe just more than a bit, (think pink bridal showers, matching accessories for every outfit, high teas, and anything that is pretty really.) But with all this testosterone in the house, Little Choopie's mumma felt the need to even things up a bit by creating deliciously girlie accessories and whimsical tees for the baby and toddler in your life. Loving creating girlie accessories and tees, Little Choopie's mummy felt that something was missing. Some of the fun for her Little Choopie!! So some funky and gorgeous boy baby and toddler tees and bodysuits were thrown into the mix.

So that how this little blog about a little Shoppe called Little Choopie - Made with love came about. (lots of "Little's" isn't there!! but I guess one has to start somewhere ;)

So far we (little Choopie and I) have enjoyed this journey immensely. Stay tuned for more of our journey as we tell you more about the daily in's and outs of Little Choopie- Made with love
