awards & beach babies

31 October, 2010

On Tuesday the 19th of October, eco peko was presented with the Judges Award for outstanding contribution in business excellence by the Belmont Business Enterprise Centre and Textile, Clothing & Footwear Resource Centre of Western Australia (TCF). I’m very pleased :)

It was a big night, in the ballroom, at Perth’s Burswood Casino and I really didn’t think I was going to get an award. I was very excited and felt I was living an Oscar moment. The red carpet, the applause, the speech….’Thank you, thank you TCF, you have shown amazing support for my business, and I know I wouldn’t be standing here with out you’ ..(well, thats what I wish I had of said)

To celebrate eco peko’s win I am offering all eco peko members 30% off all stock for the month of November. Just put the word ‘member’ in at the checkout.

We had a winner for the facebook / community garden sale survey with Earth angel Mumma (looking forward to the pictures of bub in bamboodie Tessa, hope you have a great holiday at the beach). After many responses, I’ve decided a facebook sale…so stay tuned :)

Kiely, Kate and I popped down to the beach a week ago and had some fun in the sun…bamboodie stylee … as you can see, its a wonderful sun-shirt…its u.v reflective and dries super quick.

For Sydneysiders, The King and Queen of the Vegie Patch competition starts on the 8th of November and this time, the theme is fruit salad (yummy, yummy). So if you have a baby 18 months or under, live in Sydney and want to win loads of really cool eco prizes for your baby (as well as an amazing photo shoot with Love Bytes) just photograph your child with fruit and submit to the facebook site

Spring is in the Air… everywhere I look around

10 October, 2010

What a beautiful day, after another beautiful day (in WA)!

Yesterday, the bubs, hub and I went to South Beach in Freo, and experienced a still, warm and languid day on the beach (and a very crisp dip in the sea). And then today, we awoke to a lovely light rain. It greened up everything and made the blossoms on our orange tree and lime tree really fragrant…..love the smell of blossoms in the morning…

I just love Spring :)

get a dwarf one like this for your backyard..they rockits between the apricot and orange tree

So as a Spring Special, and to make way for some lovely new clothes, I’m wanting to have a Spring Sale of t-shirts, samples, seconds and cardboard toys, as well as cheeky little discounts on some new stuff……and would love to ask your opinion, so I can have the best sale for you….

the question is….

Would you rather attend a private sale at;

  1. a house, with nibbles and kids play things…week-day in the morning
  2. a community garden, with inspiring veggie projects and stuff for the kids to get involved with….Saturday morning
  3. online on a Face Book Garage Sale…week-night from 7

If you would like to win the best sun-shirt ever for bubs…the bamboodie. (RRP $49.95)…reply to this post and share your opinion (1,2 or 3 or variations there of) on either

AND!!!!…the winning reply will win the best sunshirt for this summer…. the bamboodie….to be drawn Sunday 17th October.

Thanks for your support of eco peko :)

All the Best
