~ 2-FOR-$10 WRAP SUPER SPECIAL ~

If you have been meaning to try a reusable beeswax wrap, stock up for back-to-school or just add to your stash, NOW IS THE TIME! I have so much fabric and need to clear some space so I'm offering 2 of my medium sized wraps (approx. 30cm x 30cm) for only $10 (+ postage if applicable)!!!

Beeswax wraps are cloth saturated with beeswax. They are an amazing alternative to plastic wrap and can be used to cover bowls, wrap sandwiches & blocks of cheese etc. Heaps of uses and they can be reused many, many times over with only a gentle clean in between!

Some examples below - I have many more vintage print fabrics and colours so sing out if you are looking for something in particular.

Girls clothes sometimes leave something to be desired when it comes to diversity and when you have a little girl like our Isabelle, who is quite girly-girl but also loves being in the mud, playing action hero games with the boys, scootering etc. you start to feel like the options are limited.

Ages ago, I had this idea come to me about finding 'boys' tops at the op shop (with things like dinosaurs, trucks, rockstar slogans, skulls etc.) and skirts in matching colours and then sewing them together into the coolest upcycled dresses around for little Izzies.

I finally decided to see if my idea would work and Izzy picked out a shirt (one of her brother's old tshirts funnily enough) & a skirt she liked and we combined them. The result is as good as I imagined! Check it out 😊😊😊

Would anyone out there be keen on one of these for their little girls or a little girl they know? Just $15 + postage and I have a range of sizes I can make with my collection of tops & bottoms so far.

Rock on, girls! 🌟🤘🤙💕

Replace the plastic / cling film and ziploc bags with these beautiful reusable beeswax wraps for school & work lunches, keeping cheese fresh in the fridge or to cover bowls!

I use secondhand / vintage fabrics & linens to make them even more eco-friendly. I also source my beeswax from a local beekeeper. ❤️
