Entrepreneurial Mommies
These are women and mommies just like you that are running their own home based businesses here in Nanaimo.
Indie Art Workx
Local mom of two and artist, Ant Janzen is the owner of Indie Art Workx. She creates custom murals and personalized art work for your child. A student of Fine Arts at the National School of the Arts in Johannesburg, South Africa she has been practicing some art form or another ever since. “I enjoy meeting new people and exchanging new ideas.
If you are looking to brighten up a playroom/bedroom/nursery/entrance hall or just to add a splash of creativity somewhere, we can brainstorm together on how to inject some life into your walls.”
If you and your little one have spent any time at Jumping Jiminy’s, some of Ant’s fantastic murals grace the walls in the birthday room
All murals and artwork are painted with high grade, artists acrylic paints, so there is quick dry time and no odour. A sealant is used so walls can be wiped down, (if need be). We all know those little curious, sticky fingers like bright, colorful shiny things.

Maman Bidule
Handmade stuff for babies and toddlers made locally by mommy Valerie Vielleux-Beadle. Her merchadise is super cute and a lot of it is made from re-purposed materials, like vintage leather jackets.

"Huckleberry Baby Shop is my way of trying to bring a large range of cloth diapering products closer to home for parents in the Nanaimo area. We want cloth diapering to work for your family!
