meet the team

Stix & Stones Baby launched into business in 2005. We are an Australian owned and operated retailer and producer of refreshingly different and personalised goodies and keepsakes for little people. We are based in a (relatively!) child friendly office in sunny Cairns, Queensland.

We design and produce many of our products including our Bus & Tram Scroll range, Birth Announcement range, The Petite Post®, Babyography® and Twinography® ranges . In addition, we have sourced gorgeous unique and personalised gifts all designed to pamper, snuggle, entice and entertain Mums, bubs, kids and big kids (Dads?) alike. Everything has been hand-picked, researched and tested, and are not mass-produced products. Wherever possible, we've chosen Australian made products from up and coming small businesses. Most importantly our customers receive products that are top quality, wonderfully uncommon and timeless.

About our ‘Operations’:

• dining room / pool table = production room/packaging room
• large messy desk = office/world headquarters
• spare bedroom = warehouse
• front porch = shipping/receiving
• computer with internet = storefront
• Mum working at home to be with the kids (a.k.a. disgruntled 'employees') = president/CEO/owner

Old Fashioned Service:

We offer good old-fashioned customer service with, of course, the aid of technology. We'll always return your emails and we love to talk to you about customising your own decorating ideas or simply any suggestions that you may have.

We are able to keep our products at affordable prices, as we do not require a retail shopfront; do not have big advertising budgets; or drive flashy cars (!) and instead rely on word of mouth.

Introducing 'us':

Tracey & Jason with Jessica, Jackson and brand new edition Mitchell...G'day! I'm the owner of S&S Baby, more often referred to as the 'computer geek' behind the site, creating all of our paper-based products such as our Bus Scrolls, The Petite Post®, Babyography® and our birth announcements. I am proud of our diverse range of products; the majority coming from other wonderful Australian small business operators (many of whom are work-at-home mums). I've had the opportunity to chat to many of our customers, from all our loyal rural shoppers, to our metro mums, our devoted dads, and of course our tech-savvy grandmas and pas - thank you for your continued support.

And introducing our team of artists and designers:

We have a bunch of mega-talented people working with us, which enables us to offer such a broad range of quality and custom hand made products...

	Kylie with her very cool kids, energetic Ethan and sensational Sydney... Kylie is the right (creative!) arm of our business...she is our talented artist who creates our massive range of hand-painted items - artwork, clip-a-licous hair clip holders, fairy doors, personalised puzzles, wall motifs, artwork hangers, bookends, coat hooks, name plaques...and the list goes on... She loves colour and more colour...and is a perfectionist at all she does. Kylie returned to Australia, after living in Canada for 12 years and we are pleased to showcase her fabulously fun and colourful nursery decor items for kids. As most of her items are custom made we are always happy to work together to create the perfect masterpieces or coordinated sets for your room. She never stops creating, and I always look forward to the next artistic idea or creation she has dreamt up (normally every week!).
	Amy with hubby Matt and her gorgeous kids Milla, Felicity and Harris... Amy is our bubbly designer of our bunting range. Amy has a wonderful eye for whipping up the perfect creation to suit any room and has a flair for finding the perfect fabrics to die for! Always super popular, Amy tends to make limited editions or one-offs to keep your item unique.
	Rebecca with her lovely girls McKinlay, Annaliese and Sienna ... Bec is our super-woman on the sewing machine. Most of our clothing range have been designed and lovingly produced by Bec under her own label'. Known to her family and all of us here at S&S Baby as the 'appliqué perfectionist' Bec creates gorgeous clothing guaranteed to have the 'wow factor'. She searches high and low to find the perfect quality material to coordinate with ribbon, ric rac and buttons for all of her custom made funky kids clothing. Our customers tell us that their children dig her clothes out of the dirty clothes basket to wear them again and again!
	Kylie with Daniel and their beautiful children Hudson and Charlotte... Kylie is one talented lady who both designs fabrics and artwork prints and then fashions them in to all manner of funky products. Her brand is consumed with happy illustrations, and colours that are bright and vivid. Her personalised cushions sell like hot cakes and she continues to grow her fabulous coordinated range adding wall decals, quilts, prints, door stops, etc etc. Love your work Kylie!
	Katrina with her girls modelling their mummy's creations... Katrina like many of us, started her business adventure when she designed and printed a t-shirt with ‘Sienna’ (her first-born daughter’s name) in bold across the middle and proceeded to Mothers Group. Everyone loved it, and the comments she received encouraged Katrina to think of taking the idea further. What we love about Katrina's range is her absolute committment to quality, bright designs and fast turnarounds. We are sure you will something in her personalised t-shirt range for that special little person in your life and as Katrins says "to enable kids to state their identity out loud and proud with a big smile".
	Tennille with her Brissie beach-going clan... Tennille is the lady behind our personalised mother, baby and children's bracelet range. Her beautiful beaded and embellished designs are always made impreccably and offer the highest level of durability. Always popular for special occasions such as christenings and first birthdays, Tennille's pieces are sure to be a special keepsake in the recipient's life. Tennille's aim is to create jewellery with meaning, fun to wear, of the highest quality all handcrafted from the heart with love and great attention to detail.
	and there are many more that we are still convincing to put their mug shots online!
