Thank You Herald Sun!
My sincere thanks to Jo and Chris from Melbourne’s Herald Sun for the article on One Red Robin in today’s Home Magazine insert!
One of the Baby Chibi Dolls makes an appearance on the cover of the magazine . . .
And here is the full-page article by Jo, accompanied by photos taken by Chris. You can click on the picture to read the article.
When Jo contacted me in early July, it was a huge surprise. In late July, Jo and Chris came over to my home for the interview and little photo shoot with some of the toys. They were so lovely and kind, and it was a real thrill to experience their reaction and feel their enthusiasm for some of the things I had made as you don’t really have the opportunity to experience that personal reaction when you sell things online :-)
And if you have dropped in due to the article- welcome! Please feel free to look around :-) If you are interested in some of my toys, please check my “Where to Buy” page for details and stockists. New toys will be available in my shop in Mid-September.
It is still kind of surreal for me to see the article – to hold it in my hands and see the toys looking back at me. Thank you muchly Jo and Chris!
P.S. Also very happy to find that Happy Chibi Girl Isidore has been won by the very talented Bianca of Hollabee through the Made It competition!

Congratulations on your article in the Herald Sun. I read it this afternoon and all of your toys do look wonderful on the page. I will have to add myself to your mailing list so I dont miss out on buying one from you. I didnt realise that you lived so close to me either as I am in Melton.

Congratulations!!! I always pull the Home Mag out first & when I found your article I got so excited and showed Hubby saying “this is one of my fav Blogs”. It’s almost like knowing a celebrity.
Only one downside from this though,(for me that is)now there’ll be more people I’ll have to beat to get one of your Baby Chibi Dolls.
Congratulations again
