And this one has a giveaway with it!
One of my favourite online stores is Eternal Creation. Not just a place that sells kids' and adults' clothes and accessories - this is an amazing story about ethical trading. Australian designer, Frances Carrington, moved to northern India, at the foot of the Himalayas and began this online business (read Frances' story here, and a wonderful interview with her here). So inspiring!
I've purchased a few things from Eternal Creation so far - a few cute pieces of clothing for Abbey and a dress for myself.
Most recently, I bought Abbey these divine fairy wings, which arrived in a parcel postmarked from the Himalayas:
Be still my heart.
Okay - now for giveaway time!
With thanks to Eternal Creation I have one of these gorgeous headscarfs to give away to one of my lovely readers:
(It's the same pattern as the one
I found the headscarf to be a great child's accessory on a recent beach holiday. It protected Abbey's head but didn't get in her way, and she could wear it in and out of the water.
The headscarf is for girls of any age - it is elasticised so it fits from babies right through to older kids (Abbey loved putting it on my head, and it even fit me!).
To enter, you need to do two things:
1. Make sure you're following my blog - so that I can track you down if you win! (I'd also love you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook, but I won't get too bossy...).
2. Head to Eternal Creation's website, have a flick through their amazing selection and come back to leave a comment telling me what you love on their site!
Easy! The giveaway closes on Wednesday night, 22nd September 2010, and I'll draw the winner at random on Thursday morning, 23rd September. Oh, and Australian residents only please!

Well, I'll have a look on the website, but I think it would be entirely unethical for your sister to win ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am following you and I have just been to the site - I would just like to say it's NOT as easy as all that ;) I want one of everything in the accessory section... Wings, oh the bags! Hair clips... one in every style! My hubby and Credit Card will thank you, I'm sure ;)
ReplyDeleteKate, you're probably right - it might look a bit sus!!
ReplyDeleteBecky - I know what you mean! I feel like that every time I visit Eternal Creation too. It's all so lovely!
cute! love those wings
ReplyDeletenot entering ... just dropping by
I love the pattern on the KD692 Dress and am considering purchase. Those fairy wings are divine - why do most wings only come in silly little pastel colours when the bold, brights are so gorgeous!?
ReplyDeleteAlready a long-time follower and lover. x
Thanks Maxabella! :)
ReplyDeleteJust had a sticky-beak at the dress you like - how gorgeous is that?! So bright and summery. Love it.
I agree about the fairy wings - I was a bit frustrated with all the pastel-coloured, glittery ones in the shops but adored these ones.
I have some of the winter stuff for Immy, it was actually Popps when she was little. It still looks brand new even after my naughty drying habits and leaving things in the washer for hours on end.
ReplyDeleteThe new summer romper with the heart on the front is now on my wish list. If only the sun would come out.
Already following of course.
Claire, I hadn't even looked at the rompers - how gorgeous are they!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this site and have been a fan of it for a while. Such beautiful clothing and I agree the story behind the clothing is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSadly both my kids have outgrown the clothes... Luckily they have clothes for me too!
How on earth could one choose one thing from such a gorgeous range!? I like the KD902 Pyjamas in the Eternal Bedtime range. They look so cool and comfy! Those wings are adorable!
ReplyDeleteArghhh - why did you have to introduce me to another great shop! ;) I'm in love with the little girls dresses! In particular the red red party dress and hat (I'm thinking Christmas outfit!) and the cornwall dress and hat - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteAsh - those 'jamas are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNarelle - I know, but it makes me feel better to make everyone else spend as much as me!! Aren't the dresses adorable?! A Christmas outfit is a fantastic idea... hmmm...
Nomie - yes, the dresses and tops for us adults (and accessories!) are amazing too! Sigh, it's all so lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm already a Follower ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my. Fairy wings...... I want!! Our dress up pair got lent out for a mate's buck's night and, not surprisingly, never came back ;)
I already love Eternal Creation ( you could say I am addicted!)
ReplyDeleteLove what Frances has achieved & feel good giving my support to the community - while purchasing amazing clothes for my 2 daughters
Love the spotty KD881 Skirt. My daughter would put on such a good dancing show
ReplyDeleteNo girls at my house so no head scarf required, but thanks for pointing me in the direction of that beautiful site!
ReplyDeleteI'm following u everywhere.. but I won't enter.. I am just writing on here to tell u I love ur blog..!! xxx
ReplyDeleteNot entering because it's really not my son's colour ;) ... but the headscarf is such a lovely idea for the beach. All I've got from my childhood in the tropics is photos of my dad's old hankies tied onto my little head. And having seen my dad's hankies these days ... I cringe to think that I ever had to wear those on my little blonde head. :/
ReplyDeleteOh dear, this is going to get expensive...
ReplyDeleteWhat a divine site!
KD843, KD914K, KD802... Oh man, how long have you got?
Thank you for sharing what you love. It makes the day that little bit brighter every time!

Love the dresses and blouses for women - too many to list here. Thanks for bringing this site to my attention. Can't wait to order some new tops/dresses for summer now. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt might be easier if I tell you what I don't like! I would have to say though the fairy garden handbag is soooo cute & I have a handbag obsessed two year old so I may just have to buy one for her this Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the site too, awesome stuff!!
Visiting from the Blog Hops! I love your site. I can't wait to get to know you better. Stop by when you get the chance. I have a Meet Me Monday blog hop and I would love if you could join in.

this is my first FYB and i'm glad a stopped by - i;ve had a look at that fab site and love the blue playdress - thanks for having a giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteLori - I bet you're actually glad they never returned from that bucks night! I'm not sure I'd want to see anything much return from one of those nights!
ReplyDeleteLNG - It's an amazingly inspiration story isn't it.
mjelly - Love it!
life in a pink fibro - you're welcome :)
Em - mwah.
Jasmine - Thank goodness we don't have to subject our kids to dad's hankies these days!
nadinewrites108 - I'm the same; I love everything on that website!
Susan - no worries at all! I have one of their dresses and it's just so bright and summery, I love it. I'm determined to wear more skirts and dresses this summer, so I'll have to head back there for some shopping!
Sarah - Oh I hadn't even looked at the handbags before now! How gorgeous are they!
Inspiring you to save - Thanks for coming by... on my way over to yours now!
Mira Narnie - Thanks for having a read! That dress is so cute.
Aww man! I only bought new pj's for my kids yesterday, but have just found a gorgeous girl's set - KD900B. Found you via FYBF :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great site!
ReplyDeleteWill check it out more!
( not entering the comp) just stopping by from FYBF to comment!
I am a long time follower already!
Thanks DanniiBeauty!
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for the reminder! I have two boys, but an adorable goddaughter, so I would love to win it and post it to her in NZ!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I had a look at the website, which could be dangerous. I love so much of their things. I love 100% cotton as well. So far I like the women's kimonos (sleepwear section) and the cute make up bags, which would make great Xmas gifts for friends.
Hi Melbourne Mumma - oh, how gorgeous are those little bags!
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether to love you or hate you for this post. I can now see too many spare pennies being sent off to the Himalayas! I held myself back and only looked at ladies' accessories to start with and now want, want, wanty-wanty, want the Peacock handbag. And the Nakamura one - and... I'll stop now.
ReplyDeleteI reckon you know I'm a follower/fan/liker! :) One of my nieces would love this scarf. :) I love the double breasted girls jacket in that purple-y colour. I'd wear it myself and if I had a little girl would go nuts on the stuff on their website. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteactually! I'm changing mine to an entry!! i have a little niece.. I had a look at that site.. I'd love to buy her one of those little romper suits!!
ReplyDeleteSparkly Tiara - aren't those handbags awesome?!
ReplyDeleteCat - having a girl is very dangerous for clothes shopping! I've spent more buying Abbey's clothes than my own lately!
Em - yay! It would be so cute on your beautiful baby niece!
