Of late

Some real cuties here. Bruno and Pearl. Darlings.

Seeing as the warmer weather is previewing itself every so often the batiks are getting a look in.

Paradiso

Sunday attends Orange Grove Preschool in Sydney where every year they have a concert in conjunction with the 'big' school kids in the Primary School.

 The theme this year was a paradise/island feel, so I was able to donate for the costumes some of the Plain Pants for the preschool boys to wear on stage. Never have I seen so many pair worn in one group. Don't they look fantastic!

Wish list... Adults Only

I've posted about this before, however I came across these images on my computer while I was clearing out some files..... Europeans really do seem to 'get' batik, and these shots from a Dries van Noten's 2010 range really demonstrate just how well they understand how it can be teamed with 'Western' style. Gorgeous.

Tulip Batik

I always seem to go back to this batik print - I call it Brown Tulip.
I love the simplicity of the neutral beige background against the navy and brown.
Harper looks so pretty in blue too.
She's a little munchkin!

Halt!!

There's been a slight demand for images of the Halter dresses, so here they are.

They are not the greatest shots, but they should give you an idea of how they look in each batik.

There are some images throughout the blog that show them being worn, so have a look for those as well.

Baggy Batik Pants are the perfect outdoor concert attire!
Like the tree says..... Love. Love.

kindy batik

I know that when I collect my two girls from kindy this afternoon they will look every bit as neat as when I dropped them off.

Well...... looks can be slightly deceiving. Such is the beauty of batik - you can't actually see the paint, the food spills, the sunscreen, the mess that is daycare.
Brilliant!

This goes with that at Petit Batik

That's the beauty of batik.
It goes with everything.
And every scarf by the look of things, Liam!
Way to go. Whoo hoo. 

found photos

I found these photos while cleaning up the computer files.
They were taken in May 2010 for Kris' 60th at Little Bay.
It was a beautiful day.

to market, to market to get some new duds

I met some really lovely people at the bondi markets today, and their equally gorgeous children who were very eager to wear the batik, especially the pants!
So I am looking forward to seeing photos of the kids in their new duds. Emails welcome parents!

Petit Batik Wants You!

Little Lennox.
She turned One a few weeks ago.
Wearing well her Baggy Pants in Olive at daycare.
Happy playing, Lennox. x

rosie posie batik

Harper in Sunday's hand-me-down Rosie Posie sets. 

I couldn't get a good image showing the matching bloomers, but she looks adorable.

I cannot believe she turns One next week.

 I have a few of these sets available in the two batiks pictured below.
