Hi Everyone!


Sunflower has recently welcomed a few more new tenants ! I shall give them a more thorough introduction!
1) First up! We have The Little Clothes shop!


This business is set up by an aspiring working mum who would like to share these colourful, comfortable and afforadable clothes with other parents.

Each garment is hand made in Bali using a special cotton mix which will become softer and more comfy with every wash! Say goodbye to starchy and stiff cotton shirts that makes junior uncomfortable! Comes in different sizes and designs.Do check them out today!




2) The jewellery scene in Sunflower is recently refurbished with really funky and modern pieces.


Handmade statement necklace ! Guaranteed to lend a lift to your safe black dresses on your next dinner function.








exclusively imported Korean rings!


They are of premium quality and can be customized to your ring size!


Definitely not the usual ones you can find in bugis shops!



3)



This two brands ( Zuborah and Trinklets travelouge) caused quite a stir among Sunflower stuff! Delightfully vintage in appearance, the wares range from whimsical owl rings to bunny and ribbon earrings.
Best of all, Zuborah is having an exclusive promotion right now!
every $10 spent will entitle you to 2 pairs of handmade earrings for free!


Whilst stocks lasts! If you're looking for gifts for your gal pals or for yourself, look no further! Come down today before everything is sold!




4) Mother and child is a social enterprise that employs Mothers with young children to create sellable wares . The aim of the organization is to enable these mothers to be financially independent through the sale of these handmade items.


One of the best selling items are the Samsui and Peranakan ladies door stoppers( centre of picture)


They have also vintage chinese 2 tier food carriers and baskets for sale!


The best part is that 100% of sale profits go back to the ladies, thus ensuring continued welfare for them .

Do come down to check out their wares! They have brought in sunflower notepads, batik face towels and quilted blankets as well! All lovingly hand made!




5) " Plant in a bottle" presents to you baby pitcher plants in a bottle!
Yes , i mean the exact same pitcher plants you can find in some rural Amazonian rainforest!
Usually, these pitcher plants ingest insects to supplement their diet , as the nutrient poor soil that they grow in do not provide for it, however these pitcher plants are specially cultivated by an NTU graduate, thus those flourescent gel the plants resides in actually keeps in happy and healthy.
No maintainence needed! Perfect as a quirky housewarming gift!
Definitely surprising and unique. Come grab them today !
They can still grow larger as they are still young plants now :)
Thats all for this post folks! However , do drop by for more exciting product ranges ! Always Sunny, always different!
