I have a plan...


It seems that we have a need to increase the Pili Pala stock level in order to keep up with the demand at markets and with stockists; therefore we need to have at least 1000 pendants in stock at any one time. My plan is to get 120 (or so) pendants made per week for the next 8 weeks in order to achieve this goal. How do you think we'll go? Perhaps 120 doesn't seem like a lot, but there are 8 individual steps that go into making each and every tile pendant, and often drying time in between some of the steps is required too! And then you have to allow for some 'duds' that occur during each step.

We've currently got 146 on the go this week. Onwards and upwards!!

Busy, Busy...

Here at Pili Pala there is a lot of new and exciting prospects on the horizon. In recent weeks we have picked up 2 new stockists; E for Ethel, a new boutique store opening up in Adelaide shortly, and the very lovely Rosehip & Co in Richmond. We've also been accepted into The Apron Market in Launceston in July. VERY exciting!!

Plus we just received some MASSIVE news which we can't let out of the bag just yet, but we can say it will be a very grown-up step for Pili Pala! Stay tuned!

In the mean time, we have had a fantastic response to our new products and designs and are continuing to update the online shop so you don't have to venture out into the cold. In fact, the 'umbrella girl' (above) is so popular it's been hard to keep up with demand.
