Father's Day - Happening Soon!

Sunday 4 September is Father's Day! So, the deal is free shipping Australia-wide on gifts from our 'What About Dad' department.

August starts on Monday; it's nearly springtime (my favourite time of year - I shudder with anticipation); and Father's Day is just around the corner! Is it just me, or is the year racing madly by us again?

This time of year excites me - with spring approaching, gardens are awakening and beckoning praise in their new season outfits, the weather's getting warmer, the days longer, the skies bluer. Yay!!!

We have this amazing magnolia tree in the back yard and it's at the peak of it's grand floral performance right now (a little later than usual this year). When I stand at my kitchen window it's right there before me filling the entire view with proud and lovely petals that look like baby pink flamingos perched along the branches (imagination running wild again). Anyway, it's so lovely that it makes me feel fortunate to have that tree.... well, until the petals begin to fall, turn brown, become slippery; and I realise there's a lot of sweeping in store for me.


Anyway, back to Father's Day - if you're buying for a New Dad, or a Dad-To-Be remember our free shipping Australia-wide for Dad gifts in our 'What About Dad' department. It's only while stocks last.

Now back to the magnolia - I'm going to post a pic of it because I want to share it.

Peek A Boo Baby

This gorgeous photo was sent to us by one of our customers who lives in New Zealand. Look at those eyelashes - he is just gorgeous. He has the Peek A Boutique 'King of the Jungle' embroidered blanket keeping him warm in those chilly temperatures.

EMBROIDERED BIRTH NOTICES LAUNCHED!!!

They're here as promised in my last Blog! Peek A Boutique's own customised, personalised, embroidered birth notice (a.k.a. birth announcement). Whatever you prefer it to be called, it's the ideal gift for a new baby!

Hand-made, individually designed, creative, original and a gorgeous keepsake - what more can I say to describe our latest product? I love the concept of combining embroidery with stunning and colourful kids fabric - it really excites me! I'm mad about fabric. There are some amazing designs available in the world of textiles which inspire me enormously.  I look forward to creating more designs to showcase on the website.

For now, you can view a couple of examples and of course, more will be added as we further explore the potential of this creative concept.

Gorgeous Embroidery Designs for Babies!

Here I am, back on the Blog and less than one week since my first-ever post.


I'm really excited about embroidery and love testing out a new design. In the last couple of weeks, I've tested three  designs and been so thrilled with the results that I've added all of them to the website. http://www.peekaboutique.com.au/store/embroidered-gifts/


The little zebra was first used on an embroidered gift to celebrate the birth of baby Dean; hence the naming of this design 'Dean the Zebra'. I embroidered this on a bamboo cot blanket so I hope Dean will enjoy it for years to come.


There's a bit of scepticism about bamboo fabric which I admit I was part of before I got to feel it for myself. It's actually the softness fabric I've felt. Extremely cosy and snuggly!!! http://www.peekaboutique.com.au/store/embroidered-gifts/bamboo-blankets/


The next design was also used for the first time on a bamboo fibre blanket given as a first birthday gift to little Lily from her grandparents. They told me they'd love a ladybug design if I had one available (which at the time, I didn't). Anyway, I found a stunning ladybug image and it looked even more stunning in the colours I chose for the embroidery on the blanket. This design is quite bold and strong in red, orange and black yet it's cute at the same time. It has been added to the website and appropriately, called Lily Ladybug.


Then, there's the flower-child hippo (Hippy Hippo). She is adorable in pink. She was embroidered on a bath towel for baby Ayla. Each time I come across a new design it becomes my favourite - for while anyway, until I re-visit them all and realise I just love them all! Personalised gifts are always so popular because they stand out amongst other gifts and usually do become a treasured keepsake.


I'm working on a new project with embroidery which is soon to be released. This is a customised and embroidered gift and definitely a 'one-of-a-kind'gift - a true keepsake. I've already made one of these which was a big hit with the recipients and I'm sure the little man for whom it was designed will enjoy it!


Make sure you visit again as there'll be more to discover!
