Market day = YAY!!

these photos do no justice to how gorgeous the stall actually looked

Wow!! What a fantabulous day! Market arrival time 6.30am, not a wink of sleep between us (hmmm I guess starting to watch "Red Dog" at midnight was a bad idea), I was way to excited to sleep anyway.

We began setting up our marquee with a wee bit of help from experienced market goers, tent up, time to decorate & display our goodies. A few hanging issues & major wind hindered us a little at first, but by 9am everything was ship shape and the sales were underway.

I was gobsmacked by the amount of lovely comments and ooohs & ahhhhs I received and the overwhelming amount of sales I made. The day was a total success and completely exceeded my expectations. Thank you to all my gorgeous family & friends who popped in to say hi & share the love :)

I know what I'll be doing in January, sew, sew, sewing! Almost all the "dolly in my pocket" clothing sold, many dolls, pussy cats, embroidered hearts, decorations and the every popular babushka lavender bags.

If you could see me now you'd see I have a little blood shot RSI, but my grin is wide & my hands are happy for having made all those special goodies.

I'm off to Tassie in a few days with my beautiful family for a peachy little holiday & some quiet walks along the beach :) Thank you to my little family for inspiring me & giving me a tiny (ever so tiny ;) bit of space to make pretty things that make my heart sing x

I'll be back next year, shinier than ever with many a market planned. So watch this space for dates & places that you don't want to miss. If you get the urge to do a little window shopping you can find my online shoppe here.

Merry Chrissie & happy starry nights

Brown paper packages....

Pretty packages & Pirate girls

I so love that my little business incorporates, sewing, designing, stationary, packaging & all things pretty. If you buy a handmade delight from my shoppe this is how it will be wrapped!

Happy starry night

Great week in my shoppe!!

Thank you to all the handmade lovers who stopped by my shoppe over the past week. I have had a run of sales that have left me feeling most joyful! It's getting closer to Christmas & my first market stall on December 10...Yippee! I love markets and X-mas too.

Here's a pic of my latest goodies:

Some new toys

Family of Pussycats

Christmas house ornaments

The new toys on the block

I had a couple of sales in my shoppe yesterday, one was a custom request too! I've been using felt in most of my latest makes, I love the softness it brings to the texture. As usual I've been up far too late at night, trawling inspiring blogs (this weeks favourites are Dutch blogs) and the beauty that is pinterest.

My first market stall at the GrassRoots-Community-Market-Upwey is not far away - 10th December. I'm well stocked with many handmade goodies, be sure to come along for a peek :)

A little dolly (less than 15cm tall) I whipped up tonight, I can see these multiplying soon :0 Her hair line needs a bit of loving, apart for that I think she's peachy keen and can't wait to make her some friends :)
