Behind the scenes at bob

There is so much happening behind the scenes at the bob shop that we have decided to set up a behind the scenes look at what we get up to day to day. Join us on Instagram soniabritbts and of course the bob shop news on bob_boutique_bendigo hope we see you there:)

CUTE AUSTRALIA is LAUNCHED

Our New range is in store NOW:)www.bob.net.au Our gorgeous Aussie range of very cute creatures will warm your heart especially as they are all designed and made in Australia! Cute Australia is here!!

Being a new year I have had a l lot of conversations lately about what we have achieved. Now in it's 12th year it suddenly dawned on me how much myself and Mum and Jaimie (and previous gorgeous 2 Laurens) have actually done. We have created a beautiful space for everyone to enjoy and relax in. We have supported Bendigo artists and crafters constantly and had national and International exhibitions (over 100). We have designed a constantly changing in-house brand hand made in Bendigo for the last 10 years by ourselves and not-for-profit organisations supporting the disadvantaged and people with a disability. We have collaborated with amazing businesses like Bendigo pottery and Bendigo woollen Mills to make unique quality products. We have loved doing things that give back to our local community. This year see's more amazing things happening at bob with the next BIG thing happening Tuesday the 19th...stay tuned:)

Round round baby How did Nana Mouskouri’s 1969 album Over and Over make it to Number Ten and spend almost two years in the UK charts? Not even the record execs know… here at bob we have that on good authority. A former CBS employee charged with the task of signing new talent was in the shop recently. Bob’s record bowls gave him a good chuckle… they brought back a memory of rebelling against the Mouskouri tide and spending one cold UK night with a cigarette lighter and a stack of Nana records, turning them into ashtrays. Putting them to better use, he reckons. We had to know… who had he signed? Anyone we knew? Terrence Trent D’Arby, no less. Well sign your name across our hearts, the near-brushes with fame we have at bob! Record bowls, made in Bendigo from assorted vinyl greats and not-so-greats, $20. .

MERRY Christmas:)

Thanks to everyone for your wonderful support at Christmas time, we really appreciate you shopping locally and keeping us going. Merry Christmas!

just a sample ...

Yes it's getting close and we have been SO busy, but we still have some amazing things in store, here is a sample of just a few:)

Are we there yet?

On car trips with kids we like to play a little game we call Guess the Animal. Someone gives some choice clues and away the carload goes until the mystery critter is revealed. But the animals have been getting more and more dubious of late. They could be extinct, mythical or literary. Try going through all the world’s animals beginning with B only to discover it was a Brachiosaurus! A beast whose fossil was first discovered in 1903 in the Grand River Canyon of Colorado, as we discovered on googling how to spell it. Next trip, inspired by bob, I’m going to start with “I’m thinking of an animal beginning with Y”. Want some clues? It could be a snow, grass or mud variety. It’s your classic quiet achiever. Doesn’t say much, but you know by looking at it there’s a quirky kind of wisdom lurking behind those dark eyes. Give up? Yeti! Talk about a big trip… one lucky Snow Yeti is on its way via air mail to Paris this week. A lovely lady from the baguette city who popped into bob chose him as a birthday present for her niece. Au revoir dear Yeti! Lucky for us they’re quite good multipliers… there’s more in store, lovingly designed and handmade in beautiful Bendigo, $40.

Finally I hear you all sigh....

Finally bob has taken the plunge and we are now on social media, yes you have been asking us for years and years and years.. well we have listened to you and we are now on facebook and instagram...please support us there:) But we don't want to let go of our lovely little blog-so instead of product info. on the bob blog we have decided to write little cute stories about the goings on in the shop and behind the scenes. So many funny and sweet things happen so if you are up for a cute quick read, follow our blog:)
