Time flies...

Has it really been over a month since my last blog post? Wow i don't know how i had time to do this every week once upon a time. I hope you all had an absolutely amazing holiday season and are relaxed and revved up ready for another big year. I know i am! I even had a fortune teller walk into the shop the other day and tell me that i was a lucky lady and that this was going to be a great year for me. 


We've had lots of evolution happening at the Hub, especially in The Picnic Room. We had so many people requesting to do birthdays in there that we have gone full steam ahead in promoting it as a venue for all budgets. You can now hire it as space only, custom styled or fully styled with a character host.  I think in the first week of my advertising it we had around 10 bookings so it's great to be able to use that space for such fun events. Mothers groups and play date groups can still use the space for free during the week, you just need to book via phone or email. Here's a graphics pack we put together for a 1 year old bday bash recently. 

More info on our party packages. 

We're also running events like the recent Mosaic Magic Workshop run by one of our fab designers Tania from Squiggle and Stitch which the kids had lots of fun at. 

Our next one coming up is this Sunday and it's our Fairy Flutterby Tea Party and Puppet Show! Great for all ages, buy tickets online here. 

Yet another great new event is GROOVE Dance Fitness on every Thursday night at 6:30pm run by the awesome Miranda. She is also looking to start personal training sessions with mums and the kids can come along for free and play. Email Miranda if you would like some more info mizzfitness@optusnet.com.au

Ahhh after all this hard work i felt i could use a massage. But so could all of you, SO you can also now book Ladies Pamper Nights! More...

Yes there's more. Got a class or workshop you want to run? Hire out the massive Picnic Room for just $50 for one hour or $40 per hour for 2 or more. You can also hire the Atrium Room for just $30 per hour for smaller classes. More...

Some great new products have been arriving on our shelves lately. Check out what designers we think are fab enough to be stocked here on our latest newsletter. More...

OK that blog post is waaaay too long. I will make sure i post again sooner rather than later so i don't bombard you again. 

Happy Designing

A Whimsical Christmas...

Hello Everyone


I wanted to take time in this post to remind you to slow down this Christmas and smell the flowers. Christmas is a magical time, especially for young families with kids. We all get so busy around this time of year with the planning and the holidays and finishing off all that work in time and we normally try and jam pack as much as possible into each and every day. This year, take a WHIMSY DAY. A Whimsy Day is a day where you don't plan anything, you just see where the day takes you. You never know what you might end up doing...

Perhaps your day will start off with a sleep in and cuddle time

Make something different for breakfast

Head off on a walk with no destination in mind

Maybe you'll find a magical forest and play some hidey go seek

Maybe you'll tell of when you were a kid

You may come across some delicious food. Calories do not exist on Whimsy Days, go for it.

Try some twirling, you're never too old

And see what mother nature has to inspire you

 And when all is said and done, make sure you hold on to the memories. As tight as you can. 

Create a whimsy board

Or a whimsy wall

This year you have all helped me make my dreams come true. I wish each and every one of you an amazing Christmas and whimsical holiday season.  


Warmest regards

Live and kicking...

Hi Everyone


I am so excited to announce that our webshop is finally live!!! I am so proud of all of our designers and photographers on board for producing such an amazing range of products and services. After many, many weeks of staring at my computer screen, i looked at my screen with fresh eyes this morning and was amazed that i was actually able to achieve this. It is better than i ever could have imagined and you have all helped me get there. Yes even you the customers! Without your input for my research, none of this would be the same. I take great pride in what we have all achieved together.

The retail store has been going extremely well and we have now been open for 6 weeks! It actually feels like i've been here for years though. I love coming in every morning, turning on the computers and all the lights, checking the displays and making myself a nice strong coffee before opening the door and welcoming in a new day. 


Our new picnic room has started taking off too. Kids are just loving somewhere to play and meet new friends and parents are sinking back into the deck chairs with a cup of tea, or catching up with other mums and exchanging war stories. With all this rainy weather is has been a perfect park alternative and even on the hots days when it's too hot to sit outside, the air conditioning and breeze from the courtyard makes things nice and relaxing. Help us spread the word about The Picnic Room by sharing this around. You can also hire this space for parties with full catering and styling options available. 

Of course we are still on the hunt for a new cafe tenant so if anyone out there has ever dreamed of running there own kid friednly cafe but been too scared to do it alone, come in for a chat. 


Our new events schedule was kicked off on Friday with Christmas Crafting which was hosted by one of our lovely designers, Julie from Moops and Hoops. The kids had a lot of fun and really enjoyed meeting some new friends. 

Lots more events are coming up including: Silly sea creatures, storyime and singalong, mosaic decoration, cloth nappy demonstrations and a very special workshop by Sonja Viduka, Author or I Love Being Me children's affirmation books which will be held on Friday Dec 9th at 10:30am. The workshop is all about helping your kids learn to focus on the great things about themselves, their special talents, and how loved they are. Ticket are just $20 and include a copy of Sonja's book which normally retails for $24.95. Email nicoleh@kidsstyehub.com.au to book your ticket now. Head to our facebook events page to read more about what's on and when. 


The photo studio upstairs is now open and available for anyone to book. Even if you're a beginner and know nothing about studio photography, we can set the lights to the right setting for you, show you some simple adjustments and even help you find the right settings on your camera. Don't have a camera? You can hire ours, we'll show you how to use it. 


Studio hire rates: 

A simple white backdrop is also available. 

• 2 hours $80
• 4 hours $150
• Full day $200 (up to 12 hours)
• Camera hire $50 per session

OK it's Sunday afternoon 5:05pm an i'm logging off to go relax. ahhhhhhhhhh, so glad the webshop is now up and running, spread the word everyone!!!

Warm regards
