Etsy News!

Morning folks!

Did you know that you can now view Etsy in Australian dollars? Pretty neat, huh?

I have a teeny issue with this though. It makes my prices go all higgledy-piggledy! What I mean by that is, the prices listed in $AUD aren't the true set price until you check out with Paypal. They are simply well-calculated approximations. BUT! When you check out with Paypal, you are still paying in $USD. Hmm.

For me, personally, I am going to continue shopping on Etsy with the prices set in $USD. It seems to being the easiest, smoothest way. Plus, I have a thing for well rounded numbers (no cents, please!)

If all of this currency conversion hoo-haa is bothersome for you, why don't you pop on over to my shop at MadeIt.com.au? All items listed are all set in Australian dollars and the best part is you will be supporting Australian handmade! Yayy!

Hello lovelies!

I really must apologise for being away from this blog for such a long, long time. Lots of things have changed, some things have stayed the same but best of all, I have new products to share with you all! Hip, hip hooray!

Above are the current three tote bag designs that are now available to purchase off Etsy as well as MadeIt. Yes, Pannikin is back to selling on MadeIt.com.au! Why? Well, while it's important to support handmade, it's even better to support Australian handmade!


Here is the link to my MadeIt store:

And my Etsy store, just in case you haven't visited in a wee while:

Looking forward to catching up with you all soon!

Also, would anyone be interested in subscribing to a Pannikin mailing list, with weekly emails filling you in on what new products are in store, sneak-peeks, discounts, freebies and more?

If yes, then please leave a comment below - there is no need to supply your email as I am only seeing if this is something people would like to be a part of before going about setting it up.

Anyway, thanks very much for reading; I am off to create more badges as my parts arrived in the mail yesterday and I am absolutely itching to create more! (In fact, I was so excited I stayed up until 1am this morning cutting and punching out new designs, so check back in my Etsy shop soon for new pieces!)

Have a lovely weekend and Happy Valentine's Day!

I Choo-Choo-Choose You!

More exciting news! I have been a busy bee lately creating lots of Vintage Valentine Fridge Magnets and listing them on Etsy. At only $3.50 USD a pop they make a great gift for someone you love, so show 'em you care with something downright cheesy (yet utterly adorable!).

Zoology brooches

Hip-hip-hooray!

The Zoology plastic animal brooches are back with more designs coming soon. Currently there are five different animals to choose from; wolf, bear, owl, deer and sloth. I was especially excited about the sloth one - whoever buys him will have me immediately impressed.

There are other designs coming shortly, but if there is a specific animal you would like to have made as a custom order, please send me a message via Etsy's conversation application. Or, alternatively, feel free to suggest any other animals not yet made.

New Year, New Products

Hello all!
It sure is nice to be back in blogland. I hope you all have enjoyed your well deserved Christmas, New Years, work and school breaks.

Today I would like to introduce a new product to the Pannikin Etsy store - 25mm badges! Yes, I bought a badgemaker a few months ago and have gone a little button mad. After a lengthy session of creating these babies, my studio (aka my bedroom) looks like some kind of mini cyclone has ripped through it. But it's totally worth it, because the end result is adorable, if I do say so myself.

This morning I have uploaded the 'Wonderland' series of badges, which is made up of 5 pairs of unique Alice in Wonderland pins, all created with vintage Little Golden Book cutouts. Each set is only $5 US and come packaged all pretty like. (Photos of packing are coming soon, I promise!)
Please keep checking back, as I will be uploading different collections during the week. Some of these include pins made from kawaii Japanese fabric (with owls, squirrels, rabbits and more!), handprinted Japanese paper and of course, more adorable storybook images - think cats, deer houses and sweet little children.

Until then, have yourselves a lovely time. Don't work too hard!

PSST! Spend over $15 in my Etsy store to receive a complimentary 25mm badge, chosen at random. But rest assured that they will be just as cute as the ones for sale. Hey, you could even give it to a friend or relative for extra brownie points!

New Products!

I've just uploaded some brand new brooches to my etsy store. Each brooch measures 38mm in diameter and are covered in quilting fabric, vintage handkerchiefs, and various other printed fabrics. There are 10 different designs to choose from. Pop on over to my shop to see the rest! http://www.pannikin.etsy.com/

My Sweet Wren

It was all squeals of glee when I discovered a lovely shop by the name of 'My Sweet Wren' on Etsy last week. It's the kind of store where you basically want to buy everything for sale because it is just all sorts of wonderful (but that would be greedy now, wouldn't it?).

The team (from Melbourne, Australia) describe themselves on their profile as "suckers for vintage loveliness, faded glory and whippets. We wished we could have been ballerinas purely for the tutus. We like to stitch and to paste. We love old reference books, vintage haberdashery, the word haberdashery, Spring, bluebells and sweet wrens."

Anyway, my little parcel arrived in the mail a few days ago - look what I scored!

I'll definitely be back for more - opening their beautifully packaged goodie bags was, dare I say it, better than Christmas.
