The silly season ahead!
We have 8 market stalls left for the year, our last batch of 2010 Rebound Diaries have been made and we have uploaded them, along with some beautiful new handmade stationery, to our online bookshop. If you’re still looking for a special, unique and handmade gift, we have plenty for you to choose from!

Online Bookshop Christmas Orders
We have added new stationery to our Rebound online bookshop including new 2010 Rebound Diaries, Pocket Books, Journals, Sketch Books and Photo Albums. If you are wanting to place an order in time for Christmas, best to do so by Friday 18th December to allow time for your order to arrive with you ahead of the holiday break.

2009 in a nutshell
It has been a whirlwind of a year for us and when we look back on it, it’s no wonder we’ve been so busy! We relaunched our Pocket Books, introduced our newest invention Record Cards, and travelled interstate to markets in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney. We also were lucky enough to add some fabulous stores to our list of stockists across the country and expanded our regular Melbourne market stalls to include Sundays at Rose St, along with our regular Saturday stall at Rose St and Sundays at the Arts Centre.
