The Pop-Up shop and our eco holiday
22 March, 2011
Perth Upmarket, was the best yet. A wonderful crowd, some very clever and beautiful designs and perfect weather. My stall was upstairs of the Winthrop Hall, and it was magical. Think very high ceilings, loads of light streaming in, in a beautiful heritage building…lovely.
I tried a new set-up this time (thanks to hubby and stepson Nathan ) and I was very pleased with it.
I had all my prints and sizes available, as well as the long sleeves and everyone was very lovely 
I am really looking forward to Angrove Street Festival on April 10th, where there will be a pop-up upmarket and eco peko pop, pop-up shop…very poppy.
This weekend though, my family and I are off to Bali. We will be staying at Bali Eco Stay in the mountains (Gunung Batukau), where the kids are able to join in on some different classes with the local kids.
We will also be staying in Ubud and going to Green School, where we aren’t able to join the classes this time (booked to late) but are able to have a little tour of this truly amazing school. I will be taking lots of photo’s and absorbing as much info as I can about these beautiful places and will pop it on the blog.
Until then have a great week
All the best

Its that time of year again, where The Perth Upmarket presents another amazing event at UWA in Perth.
I have a new home this year at Perth Upmarket. It’s upstairs of the Winthrop Hall, along with the very groovy Pigeonhole, clever recycling Stepmums, gorgeous hat makers Foal Design, the beautiful bag and wallet makers BHO and a whole heap more….I am so excited!!
I will have all the t-shirts on display (including the new chocolate ones), which come in both short and long sleeves, along with bamboodies, organic denim jeans, happy daks and bibs.
As a celebration of our new digs, I would like to give you some free money..(yay)…. to be spent at the eco peko pop-up shop, this Sunday at Perth Upmarket. Just print out the bill and use it to buy whatever you want at the stall. There is only one bill per customer and the money must be used on the 20th March 2011 at the market.

Oh me, oh my, its a very exciting change for Upmarket this week, with our move to UWA (lots of parking folks…lots…. [I had a market downer last weekend...no parking... hefty fines (200 bucks!!!) it was a 'no parking' market venue]).
Well after that ‘mother earth’ of a storm, UWA wasn’t looking that flash (lots of windows broken), so Justine (not me…Mrs Barsley…or as I like to call her Mrs Clever) and her team, organised marquee’s, to house the 100 odd artisans expected this weekend on the grounds at the very beautiful UWA
….late breaking news reveals that UWA has come to the ‘market party’ and fixed the windows in Winthrop Hall in time for this Sunday!!!
Other great news
- its the same day and venue (different area) as the Perth Sun Fair ( a renewable energy and sustainable living fair)…which I’m very excited about
- there are play areas for kids; including Storks Corner Store (story readers and craft activities)
- eco peko’s cardboard courtyard (we have a comp going on..)
- Phil from Unfurl will be the DJ crooner & teaching his juggling skills
- and 30 free bags of artisian goodness to pick up .
it gets better…ecopeko & Upmarket only specials….
Because of our year long unison and synergy with Upmarket, eco peko would like to offer these specials for the March 28th market
- the first 3 customers who buy 2 tees, will receive a free set of eco table and chairs (value $49.95)
- the first 3 customers to buy 1 tee, will receive a free, eco rockin cradle (value $ 15.00)
- order’s for super sturdy cubbies or castles are only $39.95 (on the day) excluding shipping.
- pre-ordered cubbies & castles for pick up that day are $39.95 (no shipping…must be pre-ordered through either info@ecopeko.com or 0448 218 135)
……….these cubbies and castles are the best on the market (confirmed by European design book ‘Cardboard Design’) , are made from recycled card and made in Perth..I have done lots of testing with my own 5yr and 3yr old children (Big hit at Levi’s (5) birthday) and are currently retailing for $49.95 (not including shipping), the discount offer is only for this weekends Perth Upmarket.
But wait there’s more!!!!!!!!……….every ecopeko sale at upmarket will receive free organic veggie seeds (and garden patch chatter..if you are keen..we love talking veggies)
It really is the biggest one yet!
