23.01.2022 Oh how I love my mini adventures in my 5kms bubble Might not seem like a lot but a hot chai from a friendly barista on a cold & rainy day = happiness

20.01.2022 Super duper spontaneous sunny Saturday GIVEAWAY!! I've just decided that my charcoal Monk Bag needs to be replaced. Maybe because it's Spring. Maybe because it's time for a change. Maybe because I need more colour in my life. Who knows?? But I've decided to make this a giveaway because I've just found out that Sina has been sewing more bags this week with the leftover fabric which means I need to sell more Monk Bags So...this is ridiculously easy. You just need to guess which Monk Bag I'm choosing as my next one...and tag a friend and tell them which one you'd like to win. There are 11 to pick from. Get in quick because I'll be announcing the winner THIS AFTERNOON when I do a Live update. Only one guess per person...but you can tag as many friends as you like

13.01.2022 More cotton being dyed for our blankets...each part of the process creates jobs for women in Cambodia I'd love for you to join me later today when I show you which handmade blankets I've got available

13.01.2022 Needing some help For some reason there's a bit of a glitch and I can't access my photos in the Eltham Christmas Market Would you be able to head over and go into 'discussion' and find my photos and make a comment below? Hopefully that means it tags me

13.01.2022 Each of our all-season blankets are made with love by women in Cambodia If you're looking for a gift that gives back please message me and I can help you pick a blanket that I promise you will adore

09.01.2022 I'm so glad to see some orders coming through this week for our cuddliest Happily Made family member Koko&Lala Koala was designed here in Australia after I met a very sleepy Koala in Apollo Bay And then these very very talented women in Cambodia carefully knit each one by hand I receive SUCH lovely feedback from customers who all say they can't stop hugging their koalas You can find them on our website until stock runs out www.happilymade.com.au

08.01.2022 Genius! All that baby *stuff* goes into your good looking Monk Bag Check out our ELEVEN colours to choose from on the website ... And yes all are handmade from UPCYCLED fabric and creates jobs for women in Cambodia www.happilymade.com.au

06.01.2022 Oh hey!!! Someone did a sneaky recording for me!!! And I'm doing a massive exhale watching this because let me just tell you that there was some crazy tech scrambling going on for 10+ minutes leading up to going live. I had to use my phone instead of my laptop and could only see a microscopic picture of myself UPSIDE DOWN and no visuals of the woman interviewing me ... Seriously stressful but incredibly I managed to come across as pretty chilled. Phew!!

05.01.2022 Doesn't this look like the most amazing place to read a book? Kind of boggles my mind that in the rest of Australia people can go on holidays right now I'm definitely becoming very familiar with my 5kms radius here in Melbourne But yes, if you're wanting to read a book and you're into true stories...I honestly think you'll enjoy Happily Made If you're in Australia then it's best to order directly from me on my website www.happilymade.com.au and if you're outside Australia then @bookdepository is your best option Just search for Happily Made by Veronica Sherman

05.01.2022 I'm having way too much fun with this! But hopefully it helps you see how beautiful our Monk Bags are...and yes..that's an actual duck egg And yes I need to take the photos at the same time of day so that my yellow table doesn't mess up the collage ... And yes these are handmade in Cambodia using upcycled fabric and look & feel amazing The end. www.happilymade.com.au

04.01.2022 Happy Friday everyone...here's to a relaxing weekend (and yes, my cats are convinced I order boxes for them to sit in)

04.01.2022 Twice in less than a week that a cool check out chick compliments me on my Pocket Bag And I quote "these pockets are genius!" So now I'm feeling doubly smug and hoping I get a reputation for my Pocket Bags instead of the fact I've walked into @rhubarbrhubarborganics TWICE WITHOUT MY MASK!!!!!

04.01.2022 Looking for a meaningful baby gift? Message me and I'm happy to help you find something really special Handmade Ethical Feel good vibes

04.01.2022 The correct answer is: Gotta love that the winner on Facebook is called Shell Meant to be! And she also wants a Duck Egg Monk Bag so we can now be twinsies And no one guessed it on Insta so I will have to come up with another giveaway

03.01.2022 Bit of Sunday morning Monkey Wisdom for you Agree?

03.01.2022 Do you remember how in the first lockdown the very clever knitters ended up making LOTS of Koko&Lala Koalas? Well, there are still quite a few looking for Forever Homes So if you have someone in your life that needs a cuddly friend...and you prefer giving gifts that give back...then THIS is the perfect present ... They are discounted to inspire some extra purchases www.happilymade.com.au

01.01.2022 Okay...so I would love some suggestions on how to get the word out about these fantastic Monk Bags that Sina makes. Especially because I found out she's spent last week making more from the leftover fabric and yeah...the more she makes the more I have to sell. Actually...let me rephrase that...the more she makes the more you need to buy So yeah...I'd love some suggestions. Especially for instagram since I have yet to figure out how to get likeminded peeps involved here...but of course I'm open for Facebook ideas too not to mention "real life" as well www.happilymade.com.au
