I Love Rainbows! Celebrating 1000+ fans! 11 months and counting, What a year!
What a huge milestone, I'm so thrilled to be having another giveaway to thank all my loyal customers and fans! You have all supported me so much in my little startup business, I really appreciate all your support this past year. In Easter 2010 our lives changed in a big way, at first I was working nonstop from the moment I woke until midnight! My kids had a pretty rough school holidays, or two or three, come to think of it hehe.
I now have a fab setup in our garage that is still expanding, and am working towards also opening a retail store and/or hiring some factory space in our local area. I'll need to get a bit more profitable before I can do that though- streamlining a few things really helps, plus the way I've been sourcing product is far too labour intensive and unreliable, so I'm always looking for new sources and product.
It has been a dream of mine since the beginning to rent a dedicated dyeing space away from home, with enough room to run classes and workshops for all ages, so I can't wait until things fall into place a little more :)
A few of my favourite dyeups and memories this year
Beautiful Bamboo Velour, I'm very excited to announce R&R will now be exclusively supplying Wild Child Nappies with hand dyed bamboo velour...
My daughters cot sheets- I literally wanted to do these all year, they were one of the first things I prepped when I started. Then months later I still hadn't dyed them, so prepped flannelette sheets instead for winter. Around came summer again and they still weren't done! The other day I finally popped them in the "dyepot" and took the time out and my daughter was just so excited. She loves her new rainbow sheets, and yep still manages to fall asleep hehe. I'll be doing many more of these, in fact I have a set prepped to dye now :)
Rainbow stockings- and the opportunity to be part of an awesome photoshoot with Captured with Love Photography. Sophie and Laura are truly talented and took some beautiful shots of all the girls involved, including my little one, see previous blog post for more beautiful pics and details.
Skirts and dresses- I recently got stock of a rayon skirt to try and absolutely loved the result, unfortunately my latest stock order has still not arrived, so I am still waiting for more of these. It apparently could even be another month away (heres hoping its not!)
Tie Dyed Shirts, always a staple in my store! I do admit to favouring spirals as they just sell so well, but sometimes I just love the odd distraction and experiment!
and many wondersuits, singlets, muslin wraps and soooo much more. Looking back over all the items I have dyed its just phenomenal to me to think that all these items I've personally hand dyed and are all out there being worn and used and hopefully loved and brightening up someones day! I often get feedback that the kids won't wear anything else, they love their rainbows so much!
Now the giveaway part, sorry for making you wait...
Simply leave a comment below between now and Wednesday midnight EDST, I'll assign each comment a number (if the blog doesn't do so) and enter into random.org to choose a winner. The winner will receive one item of their choice from the following options:
*1x pair of my hand dyed rainbow stockings in any girls size I have available (these range from "0-6m" through to "sz 11-14"
OR
*1x funky rainbow muslin wrap (single or double muslin depending on availability)
OR
*1x custom rainbow spiral wondersuit, pending size availability
OR
*1x custom hand dyed boys or girls tshirt- choice of long or short sleeve- if size is available.
OR
*1x custom hand dyed ladies shirt, long sleeve (short sleeves now in low supply but if available are fine)
OR
* 2x pairs custom Knee Hi Hand Dyed Rainbow Ladies socks
Thank you so much xxx Robyn
