A small step for advertising … a large step for Alipants!

Alipants is mentioned twice  in the current issue of a local environmental publication, Hume City Council Ecotracks. This publication is currently posted to over 1000 local residents and can also be downloaded for your reading pleasure here. The first person to post a comment below with the names of both articles we are mentioned in will win a little hand-made elephant and yes I am the one doing the hand making ….. just as soon as my mother in law shows me how to thread her old sewing machine!!! The winner will have the choice of red or blue material for the elephant, pictured to the left.  Believe it or not these beautiful fabrics are actually a doona!! For the pricely sum of $4.99 I purchased a pre loved double doona and two pillow cases from a local op shop. They will live a second life as treasured little elephants and a summer dress or two for Tess!!

It is hard to believe that our gorgeous little girl will be five months old tomorrow, how the time does fly! And to celebrate we are taking 5 percent off our beautiful MiniLaLa’s for 24 hours and yes that includes bulk packages. If you have been considering purchasing some MiniLaLa’s then from 10pm tonight until 10pm tomorrow night is the time to buy one … or 12!!

We recieved a new delivery of MiniLaLa’s today so we have all styles back in stock! I do have some tragic news though …….. sadly stocks of Red Disco Dots are extremely low at MiniLaLa world. And to make a terrible situation worse, Red Disco Dot will not be produced again (Noooooooooo). Luckily Alipants were able to snap up some of the remaining few gorgeous spotty nappies. I will be very sad to say goodbye to little Red can you tell? Make sure you are one of the lucky ones to recieve some spotty goodness before they are all gone.

Happy 5 month “birthday” darling

Tess and I spent Sunday at Moorafest in Bacchus Marsh. It was a lovey day and we met lots of lovely people very interested in the cloth nappies. Again Minilala’s were very popular with lots of people ooohhing and aaahhing over them. The Itti Bitti’s also held their own on the day too. Here are some pictures of the stall just after set up.

Not only did we have gorgeous eco-friendly nappies on the day, we also had some beautiful products from our good friends Eco Toys. Many children were unable to resist the urge to play with these lovely toys …. in fact Owen was very keen to demonstrate the rainstick tower to anyone who happened to wander past. If you are after some lovely Christmas presents for the ankle bitters I would highly recommend a visit to the Eco Toys website.

Check out these two cute chickens in their red cloth nappies! Tess and Anais were born on the same day, in the same hospital only an hour apart …..  Anias was first! Oh yeah, their mummies (Hannah and myself) also work together and are good friends! We did not discover until we were both 23 weeks that we were due at the same time! Poor Hannah had to listen to me talking about cloth nappies all day – and that was before I started Alipants!!

Tess is rocking a Booroi prefold in a small red Booroi PUL cover and Anais is looking gorgeous in a medium red Itti Bitti. Our girls are too precious for words. Here is another gorgeous photo for you all to enjoy …. Ali xx
