We have the weirdest weather !!! A dust storm has blown in and it feels like a eerie place here today. Let's hope there;s no sign of the yellow brick road. The photo with the trees was taken just moments ago in my garden.

Trouble with link !!

Hello there,

Have just spent a great weekend down in Sydney, such a wonderful and vibrant place to visit. I love the city but i always appreciate the quiet, peaceful life that living in the countryside gives.

Great to go away and great to be back home !!!

I think a couple of people have had trouble with the email link for the free giveaway draw. So sorry, i'm not sure what the problem is as i just added it as a link.

I will have another go here and see if i can sort it out, if not the only thing i can suggest is that you could copy and paste it - if anyone has more technical knowledge than me and knows what the problem is i would really appreciate the feedback.

Lots of enteries for the draw now so keep your fingers crossed !!!

Here we go - tracey@sunshadowslippers.com.au

Only 12 days left !!!

If you want to be in the running for our great September give away then time is getting short.

On September 30th we will make the draw and one lucky winner will get a family pack of Slippers free !!!!!!

You can even choose your own sizes and colours, Check out the photo further down or have a look in our Etsy shop to see what you could win.

Well, still no printing happening here at SunShadow. Lucky there's housework to do and chocolate cakes to make. (Neither of which i do well!)

I wanted to share with you some information about a local charity which SunShadow is so happy to be supporting.
African leaf inc. started in Byron Bay to Love, Educate, Acknowledge and Feed orphaned,abandoned, vunerable and abused children in Kenya.

Last year we supplied almost 100 pairs of slippers for the children in the project and those slippers will be arriving in Kenya shortly.
We just can't wait to see how the children like the bright colours and the animal motifs.
