The story behind tittle + tat

The collective marketplace

My name is Cheryl Forster and I am the founder of the tittle + tat collective marketplace.

I am blessed to live in one of the most beautiful areas in Australia. Nestled amongst the rainforest of Northern NSW on a 5 acre property with my gorgeous partner Paul, our 2 year old daughter Tao, who I like to think of as our “Tittle” and our nearly 2 year old son Jarrah or little "Tat"

We try to live a peaceful, simple life and enjoy spending as much time as we can at our home, enjoying the beauty and space, gardening, sewing, crafting and exploring the creeks, waterholes and mountains of this beautiful place.

Life has got a whole lot fuller since we had our children and I feel really grateful that I can spend this time with them and that I have been able to say goodbye to commuting and the nine to five slog. tittle + tat are proud to support all the WAHMS out there in living their creative dreams whilst juggling a full family life.

I love to make and create and I absolutely adore buying handmade, unique and one- of -a -kind products. I believe there is a little piece of the maker infused in each of their creations.

I don’t want my children to grow up in a world of mass produced sameness and this, along with my passion to support other crafters, artists, small independant retailers and WAHM’s (work at home mums), inspired me to create tittle + tat.

tittle + tat was conceived out of a love for all things handmade and an appreciation of the time and effort that is put into making original creations. Handmade and individually designed products have soul, they have a story and are infused with the care, attention and creative energy of a person who was mindful of the importance and origin of the supplies they used.

tittle + tat is an online market place for buying and selling unique, quirky, crafty, handmade, fair trade, consumer conscious gifts with heart.

Tittle + Tat

In a colourful handmade world lives a little girl called Tittle. Tittle is a dreamer with a magical imagination.

Tittle loves to crawl under the nook in the stairs in her home and paint her way around the world.

She is a whimsical child who is playful, creative, loving and kind with just a spoonful of naughty hiding within. She loves mangoes, the colour green, making things, puppies feet, floating on her back and picking nectarines straight from the tree when they are warm and juicy from the sun. Her favourite smell is the smell of her mother's craft box which is full of all sorts of magic and intrigue.

Tittle loves adventures but she is not alone in this extraordinary world; her best friend Tat joins Tittle on her adventures.

Now Tat could be said to be quite a cheeky little boy, who is known to cause his fair share of mischief. Somehow Tat is easily forgiven, most likely due to his beautiful placid nature and loving heart - which always seems to attract and inspire love in others.

Tat is a little out of the ordinary in a quirky, slightly odd way.

He loves swimming in the creek, skimming stones, bare feet, riding his billy cart and making cow pattie pies to feed to his dog Jack.

Together Tittle +Tat fill our world with a little more colour and a whole lot of love.
