Natural Baby - Handmade

When I was 10, my Nanna taught me how to crochet. She was a natural with yarn and had taught herself to knit as child with two nails and a piece of string. It is a skill I put aside for many years and it wasn’t until I found myself unable to work due to the pandemic that I once again had the time and remembered my love for it. A number friends were having babies during this time so I decided to create each of them a box filled with handmade crochet baby items. It brought me joy and distraction in an otherwise very difficult time. My friends could not have been more grateful to receive their boxes knowing the time and love that went into each and every item, as I shared these items I heard over and over again ‘you should sell these’. Eventually that’s what I decided to do and Natural Baby ~ Handmade was created.

The handmade baby market is a small market but I know that everyone that purchases an item understands the time, love and passion that goes into every item. They appreciate that they’re getting quality materials and unique pieces that are unlikely to be seen on anyone else. All my items are made from 100% Australian cotton so they soft, breathable and perfect for use all year round. Toys teethers and accessories are made from the same high quality 100% Australia cotton.

Lindon Toys

We are a small family business based in the beautiful Hunter Valley, NSW. We design and hand make small batch toys from sustainable and natural materials. We are a family of 4 living a natural homesteading lifestyle. I am Tahlie Lindon, designer, maker and mum of twin 4 year old boys. I was Steiner educated and grew up immersed in the natural softness and beauty of the Waldorf lifestyle at home and school. I am inspired by the natural materials, gentle colours and soft edges of my childhood and draw on Waldorf philosophy in my toy designs.

At Lindon toys our goal is to create beautiful high quality objects that are natural, non-toxic, tactile and nourishing. We make heirloom toys that a child will grow up with and pass onto their own children one day. Our range of toys are simple and open-ended, designed to support your child's development through exploration and play, by engaging all of their senses and sparking curiosity.

We are an environmentally conscious, and plastic free store, using ethically and sustainably sourced materials, reclaimed timbers and non-toxic, plastic free finishes and packaging. We believe in transparency and are always happy to answer any questions. We believe that, together, we can change the world one choice at a time.

Grace Knots

My name is Elizabeth and I'm a fibre artist based in Victoria. I've always been a creative person and have had many hobbies over the years. When I stumbled across crocheting 8 years ago, I was obsessed and have been ever since. I started making dolls for my two little girls and since then I knew it was something I wanted to continue, so Grace Knots was born.

Being sustainable and eco friendly is very important to me and I am always working towards maintaining this ethos in my brand. I work from home in a little beach town, creating beautiful heirloom dolls for your little ones.
