We’re as busy as queen bees right now … why? Because on Sunday 8^th August, we’re setting up shop at Mathilda’s Market!  Mathilda’s is where you’ll find unique, stylish and exquisite baby & kids’ goods from some of Australia’s most gifted designers and crafters.

The winter 2010 collection from Freshbaked has just hit our store! This season we’re loving their use of colour with eclectic mix and match pieces for the girls, and preppy urban styles for the boys. Our stand out girls pick is the flutter knit; shown below. For the boys, we’re loving the aviator jacket for a super cool little guy look.

I just want to say thank you and goodbye to all.  Due to personal family reasons I am leaving Bubba Funk. I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the creation of Bubba Funk and am so proud of where it sits today.  I am really sad to be leaving, but am looking forward to focusing on other areas in my life.  A MASSIVE thank you to all the wonderful Bubba Funk customers and suppliers that I personally dealt with.  It has been a wonderful experience and I have met some great people.

Mariana has taken over the reigns, and I know she will continue to nurture Bubba Funk and maintain the exceptional standard of quality, style and customer service that exists today. I personally want to thank Mariana for her friendship, sharing this amazing experience with me, and for her understanding during this difficult time for me.  I wish her all the best of luck.

So it’s over and out from me.

Bye all, and don’t forget….You’re Never too Young to be Funky!!

What kid doesn’t love a bean bag?  At last we found one mum’s will love too.

Don’t know about you, but I get quite sick of seeing all those bright, tacky or licensed character kid’s furniture around the stores.

Our search has finally found some stylish kids furniture. Missi Missi has taken the good old beanbag and funked it up.  These Missi Missi beanbags are not only cool looking; they are comfortable, durable & soft.  They are made with a beautifully soft, yet strong and durable leather like material, and uses a double safety locking zip to ensure little fingers are kept out.

And want more….

Missi Missi have also produced matching storage boxes.  Well they are a SEAT and a STORAGE box.

These Missi Missi storage boxes are totally collapsible and are made from the same soft, durable leather like material used in Missi Missi bean bags, which is very easy to wipe clean. FUNKY and PRACTICAL….gotta love that!

What are you waiting for?  Come check out our Missi Missi range. ?

Don’t get me wrong….mums around the world definitely deserve all the appreciation and spoiling we sometimes hardly get (boo hoo). But quite often those dads out there get TOTALLY forgotten, with new mums and bubs getting all the attention, and treats.

….have we got some gorgeous things arriving soon!!  The trade show in Melbourne was a huge success for us.  We caught up with many of our wonderful suppliers, stocked up on all their new ranges, and discovered a few new gems. Let me introduce you to the first 2 new brands now available at bubba funk….

Melobaby:

In one word….brilliant! The Melobaby is an all-in-one nappy wallet + change mat. Australian designed & owned by Melissa Walsh; an Aussie mum who obviously “knows”. 

Not only has Melissa designed this product to be compact + functional, she has managed to keep it stylish + sophisticated. The unique design looks like a smart clutch bag, fits neatly into most handbags and holds everything required for changing a baby or toddler on the go. It’s the nappy wallet you’ve been waiting for!

What a great gift for baby showers, mums-to-be and even makes a great present for dad!  Has anyone have one already? We would love to hear your thoughts on the product.

Skeanie:

Mariana and I discovered the gorgeous range of Skeanie Soft Soled Baby Shoes and Faux-fur Lined Boots at the Kids In Style trade show.  They are made of a soft, high quality genuine leather upper to allow your baby’s tiny feet to breathe and grow naturally. And the suede sole helps provide them with grip whilst crawling of walking.

Australian Owned and Designed by another smart Aussie mum.

We know winter will be coming to an end soon…but we couldn’t resist ordering in their luxurious winter boots (available in chocolate, navy + pink).   But we also got some summer sandals in early to balance it all up:)

So keep your eye on bubba funk’s new arrivals. 

Our summer baby + kid’s fashion ranges are also due to arrive any day!  And because of this we have added even more winter items to our sale section.

Oh, and by the way…..I would have to say the best coffee I had in Melbourne was at Brown Sugar.  A funky little café in the alley way off Little Collins St, that also has scrumptious breakfast.  Mmmm……
