Jasmine from Jasmine Illustrations & the new Seedling Baby prints

Platinum Baby Beehinds Retailer!

We were very excited to be advised by Baby BeeHinds this month that we have been awarded Platinum Retailer status! Their assessment was based on our level of expertise when it comes to Baby BeeHinds products, great customer service, and stocking an extensive range of Baby BeeHinds. We must be one of the oldest continuous stockists of Baby Beehinds products in the world. When we started stocking Baby BeeHinds waaaayyyy back in 2005, they were the first Australian cloth nappy we stocked (we had ... READ MORE
