Kooky Crochet Handbags

You may have seen the words 'made by Mel' scrawled across some of our swingtags over the years. She's one of our favourite crochet geniuses, responisble for all manner of crafty goodness in store. The most recent being these incredible bags! Truly, who could resist those big googly eyes and fabulous vintage colour combos?

A little handbag is the perfect gift for girls aged 2 all the way up to 12. You can pick one of these lovelies up for just $29, pop some candy or trinkets inside, and presto! Little girl heaven.

Crochet Rattles

We are madly in love with these soft, lighweight crochet rattles. They jingle ever so sweetly, and are perfect for tiny hands. They're safe for babies to munch on (I hear the parents of teething babies applauding) and are super cheap and cheerful, at only $15.

Scoops Design

Shorties are now the proud stockists of the gorgeous design label Scoops. We have a lovely selection of  resin and recycled wooden brooches as well as seriously neat shatter proof mirrored wall stickers. Lovingly designed and made in Australia, we'd be shocked if you didn't love them as much as we do!

Two Windmills

Rachel from The Two Windmills has cooked up some more plushie perfection for us. Owls, little mice, two very cheerful Kitties and a couple of snazzy sausage dogs all in the brightest, most beautiful fabrics. 

 You can find all these hand-sewn delights and more in store now, priced between $49 and $59.

Stripe Knit Cardigans

It's common knowledge that the one thing capable of making a cute outfit cuter, is the perfect cardigan.

These handknitted unisex cardis are made from reclaimed 100% wool. That means aside from being quite obviously spunky, they're soft, breathable and sustainable. Yay! Each one is a total one-off, sized in a range between 2 and 5 years, and selling like hotcakes at $45 each.

Tiger Tribe Wooden Box Sets

Those very clever guys at Tiger Tribe have amazed us again with these lovely doll house and beach villa box sets. The quality and design are as usual spot on and the ingenious 'fold it all up into a box' idea makes it a great toy to take travelling and store easily.

Studio Antic hand printed baby tees

How adorable are these hand printed tees by Melbourne design label Studio Antic? All are made from beautifully soft organic cotton and wonderfully portray the innocent fun of childhood in days gone by. Spunky indeed!

Tees come in sizes 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-12m, 12-18m and 12-24m. $35 each.

DIY Box Band-Its

Crafty little fellows will love putting together these Box Bandits. They come with everything you'll need to assemble your very own moveable monster or robot friend. And they're only fifteen bucks each! We reckon you could probably collect all three and throw a 'monster mash' at your place!



Monster Trunks $15



DIY Dave $15

Robo Bob $15

Pretty Reversible Capes

If you go down to the woods today, you'd better take one of these sweet capes hand-made by Thouraya. When it's cold outside, or when the sun is a shinin', skipping about town in a cape is bound to make life that little bit sweeter. Pair with a favourite dress and tights, or whimsy up jeans and tee shirt. 

These little darlings come in two sizes, 1-3y $49 and 2-5 y $55

Here are a few of our favourites, but there are plenty more in store!

Impossible Cool

Why did the hipster burn his tongue on the pie? ....because he tasted it before it was cool! Hahaha!
Here are our picks of the week for effortlessly trendy little dudes. It's all about the resurgence of the colour brown, facial hair, plaid, and everything 'old school'. So dust off your record player, throw away your electric razor (or your husband's) and perhaps consider learning to play the ukelele.
