new totes!

well, it has been a while since my last post but...to make up for the lack of posting here is a sneak peek at a new range of calico tote bags which will be available at the march upmarket



Here is a pic of what they will look like, the totes will feature a series of three designs (as seen on champ + rosie canvas art)
1. elephants + balloon, 2. robot, 3. black owl each tote measures around xxx and the prints will be A4 size, they will also come with a coordinating button badge. Price = TBA

introducing...bot.

well, things have been very busy not a lot of champ + rosie-ing happening at the moment, between work and home life...but it will all be back in full swing very soon! i thought i would start to introduce some my characters from my canvas art starting with bot, the robot! he made his debut at perth upmarket December 08 (like me!) and he was a great success! he will be back again at march upmarket, and maybe growing in size and taking to some other forms of canvas...there were some requests last time for larger canvas art, i am hoping to bring along a few although i do love the teeny and intimateness (is that a word?) of the current size. stay tuned.
**bot is not on etsy yet, but hopefully he will make an appearance soon!!!

New stock for the new year...

well, there has already been some luck for the new year! shortly I will be stocking with Dorothy & Evelyn a gorgeous little boutique in St Kilda who also have an online store (for those not in Melbourne, like me!) they sell some really great vintage fashion and nicnacs along with some beautiful items by Australian designers, check them out! champ + rosie should be available soon...

back into the swing....sort of?

well, the holidays are well and truly over! and its time to return to the real world... i have thought about making a few new items over the break and hopefully in the coming weeks i will get cracking on them. I really need to update my etsy site with the whole range....a little slack on my behalf.
I have already started planning for perth upmarket (8th March don't forget it!) and yes I am already excited! I definitely need to make more bitsnpieces this time, i guess its hard to judge qtys for your first time. Also, i really need to look how better to display my stuff...everyone seemed to have fab looking equipment, i need to find some!
By the way some possibly excited news if you live in St Kilda....stay tuned

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

THE CHAMP + ROSIE ONLINE STORE WILL BE CLOSED FROM WED 31st DECEMBER 2008, REOPENING TUESDAY 14th JANUARY 2009. ANY ORDERS PLACED DURING THIS PERIOD WILL PROCESSED WHEN WE REOPEN.


Merry Christmas everyone! here is a pic of my dog champ taken last Christmas with his reindeer ears on, he doesn't look very impressed but he seems to still love me....also a very big thank you to my Perth upmarket helper Alex pictured below, hope to see you all again at the march upmarket :)

I can't thank you enough....

PerthUpmarket was great!

A very big thank you to all of my customers yesterday at perth Upmarket, the day was a complete success!!! I received such great feedback, so many lovely comments and I made plenty of sales! I am cleaned out of canvas prints at the moment except for about three, but I will be making some more this week for my online store. I also, had a few cute square prints which were snapped up yesterday, these are a bit difficult to post so they may become a market item only or special request! I really need to make more prints for next time, but hey its was my first stall, the next one will be bigger and better!

Thank you all again for such a great day. Here are a couple of pics (just from my phone!) hopefully some better ones soon.

If you are in Melbourne...

If you are around North Melbourne anytime soon, dont forget to pop into Thread Den A very big thank you to the lovely Thread Den ladies who will be stocking a few of my badge sets, be quick to grab them before Christmas!

Perth upmarket is only two more sleeps...so scary but so exciting. I only have a couple of bits and pieces left to do, hooray! I cant wait. see you all then, make sure you come and say hi!
