24.01.2022 So... this is what precisely 515 swatches of different linen options look like for our new pieces! I’ve narrowed it down to about 30. Send help....

22.01.2022 Today was supposed to be Cupcake Day, but they've had to move it this year. We refuse to let COVID deny us of a cupcake (cupcakes ) so we've put together a little blog post of decoration ideas to inspire you. It's cold and raining today too so what better excuse do we need? ... Food Duchess See more

22.01.2022 Thought I’d share this interesting article about how the fashion industry has come to be the way it is. (And how a national pandemic has ground it to a halt). It also solidifies why we do what we do here at Cousin Billie; 3 of the major things being: Only releasing a small selection and quantity of garments. ... Releasing ‘in season’ instead of 3-6 months before. Selling out of our stock before taking it down off the website. One very confronting stat in the article is that Burberry literally () burn $37M worth of clothes every year. Let that sink in. That’s just ONE label. Thirty. seven. million. every. year. No thought for the poor slaves who made them. No thought for the environment that provided the fibres. No thought for the fabric mills. No thought for the pollution. Now I’m not a greenie but that’s just pure madness. #supportsmall

19.01.2022 I always forget to pull a garment out of our production run for myself and then I stand in my wardrobe wondering why I run a fashion label and still have nothing to wear I actually can’t decide which colour Ally top I want this time around, though!

17.01.2022 We have a garden down one side of our house where no one really ever sees. Last year I plonked a whole heap of bulbs and low-maintenance perennials in there and forgot about it... Now the rest of our garden needs serious attention but this strip is going gangbusters! Decided to bring these pretty snowflakes inside so I can actually enjoy them! ... (The irony is not lost on me that our temp dropped to -2.4 this morning, either... #takemebacktoqld )

17.01.2022 Follow me for more great tips.

17.01.2022 I haven't been on here much the last few weeks because all of you clever people have been busy snapping up bargains from our sale so I've been packing orders! The last of our Summer stock has all been FURTHER reduced ANNND the 50% off clearance is still going! (We're making way for Cousin Billie Jr! ) ... Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend (filled with delicious snacks and stuff, of course ). Big love xx See more

17.01.2022 I’ve been transported back to my childhood this morning, reading to Dexter all about The Faraway Tree and the strange and funny folk who live there. We had Pop Biscuits with Moonface and we slid down the slippery slip and through the trapdoor to land on the soft patch of moss at the bottom, where a squirrel came to collect our cushion of course! So fun to revisit the sense of fun and adventure that’s lost somewhere amongst all the bills and responsibilities as we become ad...ults. One day I’ll read to Dexter for his benefit but today it was for mine. #childhoodrevisited #childhoodunplugged #fortheloveofbooks #kidslit #enidblyton #magicofchildhood #hellostoryteller #myfavouritemug #cupofteatime #thefarawaytree

16.01.2022 Hoppy Easter Everybunny!

16.01.2022 Fuel is cheap and we’ve got nowhere to go... #funtimes How are you all doing? xx

15.01.2022 We had a stylish customer ask us last week if the new Mustard Ally tops match the Lucy Maxi Skirts. They certainly do! So much value in quality, timeless, and versatile pieces. **Remember: Pre-Orders will only remain open until available fabric is depleted.**... #supportaustralianmade #shopsmallau #shopsmallaustralia #smallbizau #smallbizaustralia #smallfashionlabel #supportsmalllabels #australianownedfashion #australianmadeandowned #australianfashion #whomadeyourclothes #ethicalfashionaustralia #consciousclothing #slowfashionsummer #slowfashionaustralia #ethicalfashion #ethicalclothing #ethicalclothingaustralia #knowtheorigin #fashionrevolution #fashrev #fashrevau #fairtradefashion #fairfashion #shopethical #slowfashionstyle #ethicalstyle #whatshemakes #lovedclotheslast See more

13.01.2022 Mary Poppins would know what to do! Very clever ditty to brighten up your day.

11.01.2022 The Queensland border has finally opened to Victoria (), so I’m heading north to introduce our 6.5-month-old to all my family (and some of Sam’s!). You have until 5pm tomorrow (Monday 7 December) to order any gifts or garments for a guaranteed Christmas delivery. Otherwise, orders placed after this will be sent out after Boxing Day. P.S. These laundry bags have been hot property this week! Needless to say I have NOT been the most popular person in the queue at Australi...a Post #oops Thank-you all for supporting an Australian small business this Christmas. #shopaustralianmade #shopaustralian #australianmadefashion #australianmadeandowned #slowfashionaustralia #modestfashionaustralia #stockingstuffers2020

10.01.2022 Ahh holidays... Where’s the first place you’re heading when the borders open? : One of our lovely customers/friends, Jessica McAlpine

10.01.2022 After countless pleas (/borderline death threats ) - and several customers sending us photos of themselves waiting for their tops to dry on the line so they can wear them again - we have decided to bring back the Ally top! We have the latest colour swatches of the fabric (pictured) and I've done my best to match the actual colours on the screen for you (swipe ). Note that every screen will differ slightly. All we need now is for you to comment below with whi...ch new colour/s you would like! Please also let us know if you'd like us to grade the pattern pieces to a size that's outside of our current 8-16 range. If there is enough demand we would be more than happy to do this for you. Oh, and if you'd like a restock in any of our existing colours, please comment with your preferred colour and size. Ok, 'nuff instructions. @ Hamilton, Victoria See more

07.01.2022 Tell me, what is something you've done in isolation that you never (or hardly ever) have before? My husband and I were talking at breakfast this morning about all the good things that will and ARE coming out of this pandemic. (Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of heartbreaking stories and a lot of long-term financial/economic impacts of it for EVERYONE - but sitting around and dwelling on the negatives gets us nowhere ). So tell me - what's something GOOD you... see coming of this? Or what is something you've had the time/headspace to do yourself? #coronaviruspositivity #coronagoodnews @ Hamilton, Victoria See more

06.01.2022 ** STOCKING STUFFERS! ** Just in time for Christmas - we are super excited to release these little pretties! These delicates laundry bags are available printed or plain, and have a handy little elastic pocket to tuck the zipper into, so none of your other clothes will get snagged in the wash either! ... The print was hand-drawn for us by highly-esteemed Melbourne Illustrator, @nicole_onslow A perfect little gift to give your mum, sister, teacher, daughter, aunty, neighbour, grandma, best friend, or just treat yourself (you can never seem to have enough ). #tomefromsanta Order by the 7th Dec to guarantee Christmas delivery! #tistheseason #alliwantforchristmasisamaid #laundrybags #delicatesbags #washbags #australianmadegifts #stockingstuffers #stockingstuffers2020

05.01.2022 Very excited to announce our little bundle has arrived! It’s a boy and his name is Dexter Rhett. He’s a little dream bub, feeding and sleeping well and busy being cute. ... He’s 1 week old today.

04.01.2022 Paddock Fashion: The only time it's acceptable to wear navy with black. AND a dress with Bogs and a snow jacket... #goodgrief Anyway, it's MAY, which means it's cold, and it's BABY MONTH! (Where on earth did those 8+ months go?!) Very excited to meet our new little Cousin Billie recruit! (Although I may have to fight my husband to employ them... will they like cattle or clothes I wonder? ) ... Looking forward to becoming a mum, too. So thankful for all the mothers in my life who've been dear friends to me without my own mum around. If you still need a gift for the special ladies in your life and you don't want to leave the comfort of your couch; you can use the code LOVEYOU at checkout to get a special Mothers Day discount on our Gift Vouchers.

04.01.2022 Here’s the replay of the Woollen Mill Tour if you missed it. Such an incredible process from paddock to product!

04.01.2022 It almost seems a sacrilege to put pecans this good into a pie, but sue me. It was so good! Also, is homemade pastry where the saying ‘rough around the edges’ comes from? Hubby's first Father's Day.

03.01.2022 Ladies, wondering if you can help me out? I'd love 60 seconds of your time to share a few of your thoughts about shopping/fashion? There's a tenner in it for you when you're done, to spend on our website! ... Survey: https://forms.gle/csWpyD4ghjx1SGVt7

03.01.2022 Guess who’s 2 months old already?! Finally feel like the newborn fog is lifting! We’ve been busy organising Ally pre-orders, new styles for Winter next year and a couple of exciting new projects, too! We’re thinking of releasing some more of our summer pieces as pre-orders also. It’s a great way to guarantee that everyone gets their size. It also cuts down on wastage, AND you get surprise presents in the mail that you forgot you bought! ... Hope you’re all keeping safe! #buyfromabushbusiness #shopaustralian #shopaustralianmade #shopaustralianmadefashion

01.01.2022 A good chuckle from our favourite Irish trio tonight!
