Geelong Baby and Childrens Market Feature

My other business is The Geelong Baby and Childrens Market that I run with my partner Susan and have done for 4 years. It has gone from strength to strength and we were so happy to have a fantastic 3 page feature in the Geelong Advertiser's GT magazine.





The next markt is at Vines Road Community Centre on Saturday May 29th from 9am - 1pm.

Frank and Dollys Winner

Rachel picked a winner and here is what she said

"i think the comment that bj made on your blogspot was my favorite, although they were all great! i love that apple tea brings back all those memories of travel and i'm a bit of a lover of foreign markets too! i'm still serving apple tea at the shop too, it's permanent. having a hot cuppa in your hands forces you to just stop for a minute or five...i feel like the shop is a beautiful little haven from the outside world and i love that others can experience that too, and not feel like they have to rush in and out...so anyone is more than welcome to still join me for an apple tea at the shop...so bj can pick up the purse and join me for a cuppa whenever it suits"

Congratulations BJ, I must admit your comment was my fave too.

Enjoy your prize

I LOVE Frank and Dollys



I am sooooo loving Rachel from Frank and Dollys LOVE letters and almost everything else in her brand new shop which opened last Friday @ 165b moorabool st, Geelong.

I have known the lovely Rachel now for a few years through the Baby Market and she had a stall at the launch Piccadilly Market.

Frank & dolly's will take you on a journey through texture, colour and design with each individual item handcrafted by rachel cooper and jane power. each piece has its own history, whether it be made from tapestry sourced from french village antique markets, linen fabrics from grandma's cupboard, or patterns passed down from family generations. frank and dolly's classic, eclectic and timeless style is reminiscent of garden picnics in spring poppy fields and dinner parties in rooms of rich floral wall paper. the frank & dolly's shop showcases the full frank & dolly's range, while also collaborating with other local and international artists, which each piece being made by hand and fair trade.








To celebrate the opening of Frank and Dolly's Rachel is giving one lucky person the chance to win a purse and card holder (see below). The winner can go in to the store and select their colour if this is not your shade.


On opening day Rachel was serving the most delicious apple tea which got us talking about tea. Please leave a comment below by Sunday 8pm and tell us what your favourite tea is. Dont forget to check back on Monday to see if you are the winner.
Good Luck!!!
