Here at Karri Tree Lane we're passionate about babywearing and our community, we've made the closest of friends through our babywearing journeys and I am thrilled to have this opportunity to give someone a chance to nab an extremely hard to buy carrier :D

This carrier comes to you with all of ObiMama's usual attention to detail,

including a machine embroidered golden peacock decoration

 

This is a short stage 1 mei dai with turquoise 80" kombi straps, 70" waist,

teal linen with golden peacock embroidery reversed with linen/cotton blend matching print. It also includes knee pads and an adjustable hood.

This drawing is open to babywearers all around the world,

however postage costs outside of Australia will need to be covered by the recipient.

Entries to the draw close midday Western Australia on Saturday 13th October 2012,

winner will be notified by email and must respond within 24 hours.

We would love to see action pics on the

 Karri Tree Lane facebook page once you receive the carrier!

The RRP of this carrier is $159 AU. I would very much like 
to see this carrier continue to be gifted through 
random acts of kindness rather than onsold. 

I will leave this product listing on the Karri Tree Lane website indefinitely so that the history of the carrier can be traced, and if you have a story to tell about how this carrier spent time with you carrying your babies I would love to add it here :D

Karri Tree Lane 1000 facebook 'likes' give away

Karri Tree Lane has finally reached that 1000 facebook page 'likes' milestone, and I've teamed up with the very gorgeous Jo from Scarlet Eve to offer a little giveaway to a lucky friend.

just by filling in this quick survey, you'll not only be helping me with a little market research ;)

you'll also add yourself to the draw to win my favourite, deluxe pack of reusable menstrual products

Included in the prize pack is a Lunette Cup in the 'Cynthia' colour, size 2 (for women over 20, who have an average to heavy menstrual flow or who have previously given birth)

Also included are two matching bamboo and organic cotton reusable cloth pads (these are super soft, and actually lavender backed rather than white, but this image shows the print better!)

The value of the prize is $75 plus post costs

All done!  Congratulations to the lucky winner :D

Thank you all for your ongoing support of Karri Tree Lane

Stay tuned for more competitions and exciting announcements ;)

~ shiny happy winners ~

Do you ever have those days where you wish you could make time stand still?

Today was one of those days, it's been unbearably hot here in Perth and I've been putting off tasks left right and centre.  I just want a catch up day!


Today I was blessed to have visitors, women from my tribe who came and spent the day with me, chatting while the children played, drinking tea and coffee and eating delicious food.  I put tasks off (again...) this time knowing that my energy levels were being replenished by sharing experiences with those around me. A happy day!

And now, a few moments of peace to sit and catch up. Our first blog competition closed yesterday, and I have just spent time putting all the entrants names into a spreadsheet and drawing the winners at Random.org

I entered blog entries first, then website entries chronologically.

The first draw was for the itti bitti limited edition wetbag, and the winning number was 24 - a website entry :D

Congratulations to Erina from New South Wales, I will contact you via the email address used at Karri Tree Lane and you'll be able to choose from any of our instock itti bitti wetbags :D


The next draw was for the limited edition Green Kids wetbag, Very Hungry Caterpillar print.

A blog winner, awesome! All sorts of fair lol.

Comment 15 belongs to Owlish - congratulations!  I will try to contact you through blogger :)


I now need to run and get stuck into those other jobs, this time the hunt clues for my super tricky EXTREME nappy icon hunt. Over the next month Karri Tree Lane is a sponsor of the Cloth Nappy Hunt, raising awareness of Work At Home Mum - or parent (WAHM)  run businesses through an online treasure hunt.  Almost 175 web businesses sponsor, donating prizes and hiding this little icon somewhere on our sites

If you scour the pages of Karri Tree Lane you will come across this icon somewhere, and clicking it will mark it off your hunt list and bump up your icon count.  There is more info available at the diaper decisions website, http://www.diaperdecisions.com/pages/greatnappyhunt.php

 

Best wishes and happy hunting!

Blog competition ends in 4 days! and cloth nappy hunt begins in 5 days

Remember to post your response to the 'shiny new things' post below to be in the running to win one of two limited edition wetbags from itti bitti and Green Kids

(if you really like another of our instock wetbags and ask politely I will probably let you change designs;) )

We are deep in prep mode for the beginning of the Cloth Nappy Hunt, which starts on March 1st.

This is the 3rd hunt that Karri Tree Lane has sponsored, and the first time that we've elected to be an EXTREME sponsor.  This means that out icon will be hidden in a more tricky spot, requiring a little more brain power to spot.  Our prize this year matches that extra effort from you, being a luxurious Sakura Bloom ring sling

Registrations for the Cloth Nappy Hunt are now open via the Diaper Decisions website, follow the link in the image here:

Store Wide Sale - 10% off for 3 days only

From now until 6.30pm (western time) on Monday 7th of February, all products at Karri Tree Lane will be reduced by 10%. This includes package deals and all instock products.

Blog followers will receive an extra bonus, just mention in the comments box during checkout the name that you use to follow us under! 

Don't forget that each nappy purchase adds you to the 'Win a Wetbag' competition, and comments on the competition blog post are the other way to enter for those who's nappy stash doesn't need further padding out ;)  If you had your eye on something in particular it might be a good idea to head over now to Karri Tree Lane

shiny new things

New limited edition itti bitti prints now available at Karri Tree Lane

I've always wanted a fully functioning blog for Karri Tree Lane, and finally, I have managed to set one up myself! Quite an achievement for the technologically challenged amongst us.


So, this will be where I link to cool website and blogs that I come across in my travels, update about new products, share a little more about the KTL family and run competitions away from the stringent rules imposed by Facebook ;)


The first competition I will be running is to win a limited edition wetbag.


There are 2 prizes, one being an itti bitti wetbag and the other a very limited run Green Kids Hungry Caterpillar wetbag.

Cute, huh?

This is a very simple competition to win, there are two ways to enter:

1.  comment on this blog post, and let me know the name of your favourite itti bitti colour/print or green kids style/colour of nappy

2.  purchase any nappy/ies from the Karri Tree Lane website and receive that number of entries (ie if you purchase one nappy you'll enter the draw once, if you purchase 12 nappies you'll enter the draw 12 times)


So, feel free to share our new blog around to your friends!


Terms and conditions:


The competition runs until 28th February 2011 and the winner will be announced here and contacted privately (if I have their email address!) 
The competition is open only to Australian residents and the cost of prizes being posted (within Australia) will be covered by Karri Tree Lane
The winners will be chosen randomly using random.org and no discussions will be entered into
Winners have two weeks to contact Karri Tree Lane (sales @ karri tree lane.com without spaces) or the prize will be forfeited and redrawn
