did it really happen?

2011-11-30T21:12:00.000-08:00

A week ago we were running around doing last minute things to get the Pop up shop ready for Sunday and now its an a diary filled with dentist appointment, drs appointments, kinder drop off and pick ups .....

We are still in the process of getting everything back to the artitsts - we're kind of sad to see the left over stock go, we just love it so much.

This week has been a time of reflection of what could have been done better or different and what was great....we are very proud of what we've achieved!

We will have proof that it all happend once the photos come through....curtesy of Phillipa and Liza - we will be posting about these amazing mammas soon!

much love

POP!

2011-11-28T20:24:00.000-08:00

We did it! Sunday was an amazing day......filled with sunshine, customer love, the freshest pieces, delicious cupcakes from Cupcake Queen and celebratory bubbly from Cubbyhouse Canteen!

We Set up our pop up shop in only 2 hours with our supportive team who didn't stop all day....lifting, hanging, tagging, displaying....everything was just perfect - our vision came true and we can't wait to do it again!

Now its the aftermath of organising stock, tallying up sales and catching up on some sleep.

something little is an avenue for us to raise funds for 2 charities that are dedicated to kids....both are important to us and we think that it is important to give back.

Hear For You which is a local organisation which provides a mentoring program which gives guidance and support to hearing impaired teens at a vitally important stage of their lives. www.hearforyou.com.au

Love & Hope a children's home in El Salvador where kids are supported everyday with food, clothing, education and so much more. www.loveandhopechildrenshome.com

funds will be raised and split from the donation given at point of entry. This donation will also give you a ticket for a chance to win a fabulous door prize......

it only takes something little to make someone smile!
