8 WAHMs - 1 stocking - 15th of each month
So what does it all mean?
Well, each month, on the 15th, the Gossamer Dreams store opens for business. Items will preview from 8pm on the 14th and at 8pm on the 15th (Qld time) they will be available to purchase. But you need to be quick! First person through the checkout gets the goods, and many items are OOAK so can't be reproduced.
Each month has a theme and each month we feature Guest WAHMs - see our blog for details when this happens!
During the rest of the month, please feel free to visit our individual stores (listed below) for more quality products.

Ooooh ok here are mine :
* Planes, trains & automobiles - Pretty obvious !
* Under the sea - Obvious again LOL !
* Flower power - Some really groovy tie dyes & retro florals.
* Mythical creatures - Fairies, dragons, unicorns & heck even a Gryphon could be used ( hint hint from the mum with a Griffin LMAO !)
* Sleep, nappies & rock & roll ! - Again fairly obvious with some guitars, bold colours etc.
* Dinosaur stomping - Another self explainer ;)
They could be sets but also maybe have softies included iykwim !
Myths and Legends ;) I'd love to see what would come of that one!
My all time fav would be the enchanted world faires, goblins, witches, wizards, unicorns, elves, gnomes, angels, pegasus, gremlins
my other fav is the ocean/beach so mermaids, pirates, spades and buckets, sandcastles, seahorses, surfing, shells, sharks, whales

* a stocking of just bright, funky colours - shapes and striking patterns, or colour combos eg this month purple and green
* a stocking of custom slots only, one for each wahm oh that would be wonderful!!
Mmm, I was thinking 'Under the Sea' and 'At the Bottom of the Garden' but they've already been mentioned. What about a 'Teddy Bear's Picnic'?
oh i should have also suggested aussie storie books - possum magic, snuggle pot and cuddle pie etc.........

Okay so I don't know what you would do (but that's your job not mine, lol) but since one of the reasons we all use nappies is to help keep it in good shape for the babies we are clothing how about a save the planet/recycling theme?
my favourite thing at the moment -
birdies
punk / goth / rocker theme (imagine the little tartan skirts with tulle coming out from underneith)
biker boy / getto girl
OH Ive got some bad mojo happening now!!!!!
Oooh birds would be cool!
What about the 7 wonders of the world (ancient or natural - pyramids to the great wall, all the creatures of the galapagos & great barrier reef)
Can't wait!!
WOW, you have heaps already, not sure if I can come up with anything new.
Here goes, sorry if its already been said:
- Mini Me - matching set of mummy and daughter or daddy and son. Even mummy and son etc
- On the Farm, In the wild, in your backyard theme? Eg. Cows, horses etc or lions, kangaroos or Chickens, cats, dogs, fish
- Game theme - like tic tac toe
- Cars, Trains, Boats
- Princesses, fairies
What are little boys made of... Slugs and snails and puppy dogs tails that's what little boys are made of....
An all boy stocking for the little men in our lives, I'd love to see WAHM couture, boys nappies, puppy dog cuddly toys and dinosaur cuddlies, boys hats, boys aprons and bags.
A story book / nursery rhyme theme.. little red riding hood, three little pigs, old mother hubbard etc
An all about mum stocking... soaps, jewellery, mama pads, just for mums.
A recycled stocking, the purpose most of use cloth for is for the environment, well how about a stocking of items made with recycled items only.. nappies made from recycled t-shirts,jewellery made from recycled products etc...
I'd like to see some more for the boys
Kick a goal - sports themes
