Fame at Last!! Featured in Giftrap Magazine!!

Great news for me this month, I was featured in a full 2 page spread in the retailer's magazine Giftrap!
The editor Gillian Samuel loved the images of my new Quirky Kooky range that I emailed her and a few weeks ago called me up out of the blue for a phone interview!

Never done anything like that before so it was a bit daunting, but she's a great journalist, really easy to talk to and before I knew it we'd been chatting for about half an hour and she had pretty much my whole life story and how I came to be making these quirky cards!

I've never had anything like this happen to me before, it's so exciting!

Already had loads of emails from people who've seen the article!!

The story is online at the Giftrap website or on Twitter.

Handmade is a draw for customers!

I had such a great email from Bernadette of Timeless Emporium in Waverley, a retailer of my cards. I made a small laminated sign for her to put in her window, telling passers by the story of my handmade cards. Here's her email:

"Hi Nat,

I just wanted to thank you for the sign for the window. It's really working! One lady came in and she bought 5 of your cards on Saturday morning and also some skin care and lollies. 

She came in because of your sign!"

This makes me so happy! I've since made heaps of these signs for my retailers around Australia and they've had some really great feedback from their customers. People really love locally handmade things, I     guess they're getting harder and harder to find...
