About Us
Hello,
I'm Kelly!
I founded Schnookie as a side hustle back in 2009 just after I had my first baby girl. I was keen to keep my mind active and my hands creating something whilst being at home.
In the beginning I only made nappy wallets, and boy have they developed a lot since then!
From there I started going to local markets and then the Lollipop Markets when they started, those markets still are today some of our biggest trading days!
In 2021 I joined the Lollipop Collective pop ups in Westfields in the hope to grow my business even more and provide high quality hand made products to the local SA community. I have since then joined all locations at Westlakes, TTP and Marion. In the time I have been there, I have been lucky enough to grow my stock, and supplement the handmade goods with complimentary products.
I am constantly chasing a balance of family time and business! As a mum of two girls and wife, I treasure the time that I get to spend with them, and this business allows me to be flexible to be there for my family and also do something that I love!
I have always been obsessed with creating and keeping my hands busy! If you ask any of my family or friends they will tell you that I have loved old cars & engines and car shows since I was a girl! So on the weekends we love taking our 1961 EK Holden out for a spin, or going for walks and camping!
I hope this helps you see where we have come from and why I love creating high quality hand sewn products for your babies.
Kelly
