Hi Ann, I'm Jodie, based in Melbourne and I have just started a site called The Haby Goddess. www.thehabygoddess.com.au . It is basically a site about all things haby, I will be introducing a theme each week which will be available for sale. ie : Week 1 (now) is Buttons - Vintage/retro style. In the following weeks I will be offering a lot more brand new haby - can be purchased in large quantities or small amounts. All prices will be below RRP.
There will also be items available for sale that you cannot buy in stores ie: 20mm polycotton bias and quilting fabrics from the US at less than the ridiculous prices Aussie stores are charging. I will be showcasing some locally produced hand made items each week. I would love to be listed on your site. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. Kind Regards, Jodie Maloni
