Unfortunately Baiti, our lovely shop manager will be on leave until the 26th of November

What this means to our customers is that we are doing our best to get your shipping orders to you on time, but there might be some delays as we’ve a LOT going on right now, so please expect 1 or 2 days of delay and perhaps slower email response time.

We’ve no choice but to close the Ampang Park store this Fri and Sat, but we will be open on Sun 22/11 onwards.

Our deepest sympathies and regrets with Baiti and we wish her a smooth recovery (As smooth as these things can go at any rate).

Wishing you all the best Baiti!

We’re happy to have selected Filifele products at our booth - repurposed / rescued fabric made into super cute new useful stuff! What’s not to love?

Here’s all about Filifele in their own words :

Filifele is a group of people that love the challenge of exploring the recycled materials and sometimes fusing them with new ones to create a functional artwork.

Our first batch of products is inspired by the China’s traditional “100 cloth” collage series, which believed to bring luck and energy to everyone. We believe this remarkable traditional art should be bringing back. Beside kept the traditional element, we also insert some new element to make it more modernize.

‘’Here is no stunning masterpiece but some little stuff may send the greatest warmth to you. Stay aware for those things surrounding you, breathtaking little surprises are always waiting.’’ ~ Filifele

Fit for 2 (if you haven’t been yet) is a fabulous place for mamas to be, new mamas and super experienced mamas.  The pioneer in pregnancy fitness in Malaysia, there’s always a ton of great stuff to do there, not to mention the fantastic value (and just plain fantastic) food!

This is a super kid / family friendly place, so expect to see lots of tots of various ages running around safely creating havoc

We’ve kindly been invited to hold a (nice and gentle) introduction to cloth diapers and baby carriers there on Thurs 19/11/09 at 6pm.

We’ll be discussing the basics of cloth diapers, the usual things to look out for, and answering any questions that come up, so if you’re in this part of town, pop on by!

Check out this video demonstrating how to change the grobaby inserts without getting your hands dirty

Check out our Dharma Glass Straws.  I love my Decorative Dots straw and LOVE using it (on a daily basis).

These have a lifetime guarantee, and are hand glass blown in the USA.  Super hard and sturdy Borosilicate Glass.

Just beautiful, and drinking from them just seems to make life a lot more… stylish.  There’s nothing like a cheap plastic straw to take away from the whole drinking experience – you won’t know what I mean until you’ve tried your own glass straw.

It’s a state of mind baby!

Of course, not to mention you’re not using up yet another bit of plastic (used for 5 minutes, hanging around our planet for hundreds of years).

Grand Prize Winner for my personal favorite photo goes to Dzurriaty for this fabulous entry :

I love it the composition of the photo – such an attractive family! And notice her mother’s also wearing some color coordinating reusable bags! Doesn’t that look so much more stylish than the throwaway disposable bags?

Congratulations Dzurriaty! Please email me – instead of giving you goods, we’ll be giving you a RM500 Credit to buy whatever you want at our store.
