Store...Coming along

So... Slowly does it as they say.

The new website is up: www.pixieinthepark.com

The shop is coming together one painful day at at time: www.pixieinthepark.com/store

Postage is calculated at the current Australia Post postage rate and you can view postage by:

Adding an item to your "Bag"
Heading to "Checkout"
You will see Tax/Shipping Cost and click on "Choose My Address"

Once you add your address postage will be visible for all items.


If you live in Brisbane and you want to save some postage you still have time to grab a few items before Christmas you can find my work at:

-Incube8er in Fortitude Valley
-Good Concepts in West End
-Ursa Lady Creations in Stones Corner
-Reverse Garbage in Woolloongabba

Go do your last minute Christmas Shopping.

NO B.S.!

I don't know about you, but I have finally had enough of all the B.S. from every company/shop/sales-rep/estate agent and so on that I deal with. What ever happened to good old fashioned honesty and transparency? How about when I request a quote you quote me the full cost instead of giving me a price I can budget for then adding GST and shipping on top. Or how about if you tell me that I don't have to pay for something then you bill me for it... you have the courtesy to let me know.

Or how about this.... you sell me the product that you told me you were selling me instead of selling me something completely different then showing no remorse for lying. Or when you print something you check the design before you send it to the client and apologise for screwing the client around...

Ok, so basically I have had a very bad year with dealing with companies. And in light of this... welcome to the new way in NO B.S. companies...

My aim is to be 100% honest with each and every one of you and be completely transparent in all that I do. This has always been my aim, but not it seems ever more crucial to make a statement about it. Each product will be labelled with it's material content and with the new look and complete content overhaul of my stock, this blog and the website: www.pixieinthepark.com I will be publishing a report on where my stock comes from, it's environmental impact and include a list of all of the new products that I use. This will be available for anyone to read. You will be charged the ACTUAL postage rate that I get charged from the post office, plus the cost of the packaging. I have a feeling the new website makes you put in your details before you see the shipping, so I will add a price list for the postage.

I really appreciate any and all of your feedback. If you have bought something you're not happy with - I need to know... If you've bought something you love - I need to know. If you think I'm hiding something - I need to know! You can email me any time.

If you too are sick of the B.S. make a complaint to the company direct or go above their heads to the Office of Fair Trading, don't let them get away with it anymore, we deserve a lot better!

Changes and Thank You's

It's been a very long few weeks, and we have all been busy bees...

Unfortunately this week the Men of the Trees fundraiser and the Kerbside Lane Market were both rained out. That certainly made for one very drowned Pixie this morning!


While I have been working away at my desk for over twelve hours a day to try and keep up with Christmas demand I have managed to find some unsuspecting victims to help me out with the things I don't have time for; what does this mean I hear you ask?

A new logo from the wonderful Lena:

The new packaging is being phased in (to reduce waste) and new business cards are coming next week (printed by Print Together, who use recycled/sustainable materials and processes and are Australian based). 

I'd also really like to thank:

The hours of hard work by Sarah doing marketing and organising.

Many more hours from Kate buried under piles of fabric and sitting next to me listening to me whinge and moan; much of the same from Emmanuel and Casey. 

Thank you to Jo for helping cross pollenate with her new business: Butterfly Host Plants

And the brilliant Gerrad for the brand spanking new website and FUNCTIONAL shop!

Please go and check out the NEW WEBSITE at www.pixieinthepark.com

I would love to hear some feed back about the new look, please comment here or email me and let me know your thoughts.

Saturday night marked the first West End Twilight Market that I have been involved in, and it was truly a pleasure. The two lovely organisers Sally and Scotty made the night a true pleasure. The market was packed to the brim with food stalls, families, live music, hand-made items and vintage re-sellers. The vibe was something I have not experienced in Brisbane before. I look forward to becoming a part of the furniture at the markets and you can find me there for at least the next two weeks; from 4-9pm on Saturday the 10th December and Saturday the 17th December.

After a successful debut at the West End Twilight Markets on Saturday 3rd December, could this week get much better? I grabbed Brisbane's daily free newspaper this afternoon and what popped up on the inside cover....

I am still taking Christmas orders. Please email your order or head over to www.pixieinthepark.com and complete a custom order form and I will get back to you within 24 hours with a quote.

Orders are available for collection from any of the up-coming markets: 10th - Men of the Trees Fundraiser at Ferny Grove, 9am onwards. 10th - West End Twilight Markets, 4-9pm. 11th - Kerbside Lane Markets, 1-6pm. 17th - West End Twilight Markets, 4-9pm. 18th - Marky Markets, West End, 11-4pm.

If you are interested in the gift-bows, please let me know as I ran out again last week! Same goes for any other stock, let me know what you'd like to see there and I'll get onto it!
